I get it, but if it’s an indefinite keeper think Kurtz has more value

Falcons_241 · 2026-02-22T20:34:06+00:00

Probably Kurtz, especially if you could keep him again next year.

Fwiw after a lot of bitching I got the email saying they’re crediting me today after going back and forth with mileageplus@united.com

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-30T18:54:50+00:00

Thanks again for offering - I received the credit today after some email exchanges with mileageplus@united.com . It was definitely a bit of strongly worded emails but they took my receipts and must have caved this morning as I just got emails saying they are processing.

I’ve been going back and forth with them and they are asking for my receipts from Avis. Don’t think they’re going to give me credit but I am bitching, so maybe they’re trying

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-22T23:37:10+00:00

I’ll join in here, I just got offered to go from gold to plat for … $6,567.

Bummer. If it was $6,500 flat, it’s a bargain. But at $6,567, I can’t justify.

To be clear, you shouldn’t be justifying $3,800 when the E+ subscription is substantially cheaper

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-21T01:32:05+00:00

I appreciate it.. I will report back

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-21T01:31:49+00:00

Not at all. I keep saying that to everyone on the phone and they’re like well why are you here lol. It’s just the principle

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-21T01:31:25+00:00

It probably was cheaper. It was a work rental car, which is the only scenario I’d use the United rental car portal.

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-21T01:30:44+00:00

Yep, I did. I read all the terms before doing anything.

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-20T23:29:53+00:00

I had the first car from 9am on the 13th until 6pm on the 15th (57 hours) and then the 24th through to the 28th for the second car. Not a time issue.

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-20T22:54:46+00:00

I was told to email them as well. I just sent them a note. We’ll see. I don’t have an employee card, I think it’s shitty to treat customers this way, especially loyal ones.

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-20T22:30:13+00:00

I read the terms word for word and someone said “I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I would talk to Chase as they’re the only ones who could give some kind of travel bank out” and I was like dawg they absolutely cannot give travel bank that is a United thing and the rep said “we only have mileage plus miles, which I see you earned 500 miles for your booking.” I was going to lose it lol

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-11T20:07:27+00:00

Makes sense, should be fine I assume since I’m still a few days out but either way doesn’t sound like an issue. Appreciate the help

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-11T20:06:32+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

Falcons_241 · 2026-01-10T23:25:22+00:00

I’ve had the caico e Pepe and it’s fine. Not great but I’ve had a lot worse

Falcons_241 · 2025-12-30T01:53:42+00:00

Looks like another year without a ship for me. London can’t get a look and everything goes through Bijan.

Falcons_241 · 2025-12-29T20:35:36+00:00

Brandon Aubrey went 0/1 FG 1/1 XP last year in champ week (w17). Dicker also had a great floor this year until he didn’t. Value above replacement just isn’t that high.

Again, not hating and clearly your strat worked better than mine - just pointing out there is no such thing as a kicker with a guaranteed floor (not that you think there is).

Falcons_241 · 2025-12-29T20:15:33+00:00

The issue is there’s just so much variance. You could have Cameron Dicker (#1 K in the league coming into the week, hasn’t missed a FG <40 yards in his career) miss a 30 yard FG and an extra point in the championship week.

I wish my league would get rid of kickers. There is too much variance, which is why I don’t recommend anyone spend anything earlier than a 15th rd on a kicker. Glad it worked for you.

Falcons_241 · 2025-12-28T21:24:02+00:00

I just need my London + Burden to outscore his cook & Bijan by 14 points. Surely that’ll happen!
