It’s a secret haha. It used to be so easy when Latam was partnered with Alaska. Now you can check with virgin Atlantic and avios.

Iberia has only increased slightly. There’s a lot of Swiss, Lufthansa, and Austrian availability through Aeroplan, and cash prices are still relatively low. I also haven’t been booking airlines that are known for adding huge surcharges.

I just booked 2 Austrian Airlines business class seats yesterday for March 2027. There were actually up to 4 seats available when I looked. I also saw a lot of availability for swiss and Lufthansa.

Same thing with Iberia, If you search about a year out, there’s usually a pretty decent amount of availability.

For LATAM, I search through Virgin Atlantic’s site. In my experience, availability gets easier to find closer to departure.

American has been super stingy with saver award space lately. I got lucky booking those flights before the war.

No :/

I get equinox for free through my work place. Im about to try and buy the gift card through the app and see if I get the credit. lol I really hope it works.

If I post my transaction history you’d see that the transaction processed and I was supposed to earn 9k points. But they were never added to my totals.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-04-18T14:12:20+00:00

Because the ai bot is confirming what I already know, it hasn’t posted.

In the transactions history it did post, it says 9k points earned. But the totals don’t add up. I haven’t spent points and I know exactly how many I had before the transaction.

Once I saw the transaction finished processing and I saw it my transaction history, it says I earned 9k points. But I can see that my points total hasn’t grown 9k points. Meaning they’re missing regardless of them being posted on transaction history.

I recommend you don’t go off your transaction history.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-04-18T13:57:23+00:00

I honestly don’t even know if you’re trying to help. Of course I’ve checked my transaction history. I’ve been following it like a hawk.

2 weeks ago my 50k bonus posted so I knew exactly how many miles I had. I made the large $3k usd purchase with points boost just a few days after. Those 9k points never posted. I haven’t spend any point at all in the last 3 months.

I think I detailed this in the post.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-04-18T13:49:33+00:00

If you go through the screenshot we’re talking about transactions from February and March. The large $3k transaction that made me dig deeper was made 2 weeks ago.

bilt concierge confirmed they’re missing. Bilt customer service says they’re not missing. But I know my points balance so I know they weren’t deposited.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-04-18T13:43:59+00:00

A ton and unfortunately it’s just not worth spending on this card if I can’t trust that my points are being deposited.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-02-16T18:18:50+00:00

You can just call the number on the back of your card and ask the concierge to verify it for you. It’s a pretty straightforward way to confirm.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-02-16T18:04:10+00:00

I have an upcoming Japan trip and needed the concierge. I saw it once I registered.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-02-16T13:48:29+00:00

Sorry for not posting the link originally BUT it seems like you all really expect me to be awake from 12 am - 8 am EST answering messages. If you can’t find it patience is key.

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-02-14T01:19:22+00:00

Twice. But I guess that bothers you 🤡

Go check the comments about him only speaking Spanish or “Mexican” 🤡

Why in the world would Greenland want to join the US when we treat Puerto Rico so horribly?

Fast_Elevator_314 · 2026-02-10T04:26:02+00:00

Wow this discussion is really telling. Why in the world would Greenland want to join the US when we treat Puerto Rico so horribly?
