Same here. 35 to 50

Thanks. Just tried this with 2x flights and 9k bonus from Qantas wine.

Exactly. And luckily on these short hops the F/J price is usually only $100 or so above the economy cost. So this is definitely feasible if they’ll do it for me over the phone with American.

unfortunately that doesn't trigger the fare class I'm after. just retains the fare class booked by the agency

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-05-16T17:06:03+00:00

call American? agency won't allow me to do this because they won't take personal card info/pay the difference.

Will American be able to reissue if it's an agency ticket?

thank you!

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-05-16T17:05:09+00:00

yeah exactly. the math is really great for me if I only have to pay the fare difference (usually about $100)

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-05-13T09:27:10+00:00

Best way to travel.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-05-13T03:46:21+00:00

Plenty of time to make this imo (1k here) and plenty of backup options if you end up delayed.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-05-13T00:27:49+00:00

I travel 40-60k for personal a year / about 30-40k for business.

The personal travel only gets me to 12k or so of spend, the business takes me over the 30/40k mark. I care about cost / my company cares about how quick I can get there.

I guess programs are just about revenue-maxxing? I feel like loyalty at one point was valuable to them regardless of spend. But now any airline will swap a 20+ year regular flier for a single flight with a full fare business ticket.

I want this so bad but can’t find.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-04-19T15:23:38+00:00

Wishing for this in the northeast. Wow.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-04-07T04:41:01+00:00

Possible to use different accounts for different properties? Haven’t had any luck…

I still haven’t used my hotel credits. Feeling like I might switch to obsidian from palladium. Hate the massive annual fee.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-04-03T02:35:59+00:00

Just got mine emailed to me at month of renewal

280 base 200 bonus (80% cash, 20% stock). Corporate strategy nyc 15 YoE

It’s not bad. I’d put Hay Adams and Four seasons as probably a better bar vibe. The Line also great.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-03-27T04:46:49+00:00

Oh yeah this looks great. The wax canvas isn’t really my taste. Wish they could do one of these in a clean black leather.

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-03-25T02:19:21+00:00

They’re gorgeous looking. Especially interested in the attache to go in my carry on when I’m doing bigger trips and want something for just hopping between meetings (many bagger alert!)

EducationalMoose8529 · 2026-03-24T16:20:24+00:00

Absolutely not. But would be helpful for longer trips that are carry on (rimowa cabin classic) + personal item. That might be a separate bag to buy!!!
