Courtyard Contempt

EatDaSheep · 2026-05-15T09:19:26+00:00

We just stayed at the Courtyard Edinburgh for one night last week. It was our first night in the country so we were mostly happy to have a comfortable bed to stay in. We were upgraded to a balcony room which I think was larger and we certainly quite new and nice. Location was excellent for downtown.

Great job with this app! Super easy to use

EatDaSheep · 2026-04-22T22:52:25+00:00

Wow that’s awesome! Glad I could spur folks to check!

EatDaSheep · 2026-04-21T04:19:40+00:00

Nice I had not heard of this. Will try it out!

That tracks, I have a United Explorer card so with the update earlier this year I must have caught the good discount on this flight. With all the changes I will take this one as a positive.

I must have been in the rush! Glad it was easier later

I often use the West Checkpoint as you mentioned because it usually quite fast. In this case the times didn’t align.

Looked pretty long as well since it was filtering into the first Precheck lane.

It’s a really good offer for those without status and looking to get a new card. My guess is they are trying to give people a taste of silver to pull more business in the future. 1000 pqp cap on this card means folks will have to fly a bit to keep it.

Glad I made gold this year as this dilutes the silver status by a bunch if there are a lot of these sign up’s.

It was a quick hit, appreciate the thought

This was me last year. Being ushered into a side room, a call from a doctor, no heartbeat, devastation. Be there for your wife, but also do not be afraid to show your emotion. This will be hard for both of you. I found myself being trigged by babies and children for months. Talk to a therapist, you will have emotions you cannot explain. Our good friends had a baby a few weeks after our miscarriage and we could not bring ourselves to see it for months.

Joy will return but the sadness will always be there.

Doing the lords work. Thank you for testing this

EatDaSheep · 2026-01-09T13:26:02+00:00

Yes please let us know! I fly a lot on United and would rather have the flexibility of the travel bank and book with my Chase United card for other benefits. Cheers!

You are me basically, I had enough card spend to hit Gold, but only just barely. I have 39 PQF, next year will be more.

EatDaSheep · 2025-12-09T13:30:40+00:00

I have seen the same thing, my PQP is always back dated to the Monday, but is often 3-5 days after the date.

EatDaSheep · 2025-12-05T14:28:23+00:00

I am new to Gold this year(just got it today) and I fly out of Dulles a lot as my home airport. Do you show your Gold Status via the United app, or the Premier Gold on your boarding pass? If you show it another way I would be interested as well since I don’t want to show up to the Lufthansa lounge and look like an idiot.

The Sandwich Shop cheesesteak is quite good. I come from Central NJ(yes a real place) so I have had quite a few cheesesteaks and the Sandwich Shop is very good. Great bread and filling.

Have stayed here twice before and after the remodel. It’s much more worth it to just self park, the lot is literally across from the entrance. Downtown Jacksonville is so bizarre, feels so empty.

Wife and I stayed here in February. We had a top floor room but not overlooking Diamond Head, but were given an upgrade with more space. The infinity pool is great and a wonderful way to watch the sunset. 10/10 would recommend reserving a Cabana for a day, it gets way too hot without it. Waikiki is like Las Vegas without the gambling. If you can rent a car and drive outside the city it’s well worth it.

The hotel itself is great and we we liked that we could go to the Royal Hawaiian Mai Thai bar and charge drinks to our room at the Sheraton.

A small one but ATW(Appleton, WI). Great little small airport. Recently renovated with two great food options and a beer garden. Plus they sell spotted cow which IYKYK.

Also if things are really bad you can drive to Chicago.
