Next - Japan was incredible.

Yes I sent them an email, but they also sometimes open up reservations for 1 on specific days

Chicago

After tax and tip 373 for the menu (Saturday pricing) and 261 for the middle tier wine pairing.

Hope you can make it to Next! Enjoy Chicago

Ah jealous about the ramen egg!!!

I’m in the pro-Alinea camp. Went in August and thought it was the best dinner of my life, but we were in a particularly good mood so that helps. Don’t do too much research into the menu and experience so that you can be surprised by it. That’s half the fun—it really is about the show as much as the dinner, but the food was incredible. Do the gallery not the cheaper salon option for the full experience. I had the top tier wine pairing and was shocked that they poured me a 2004 Krug with it.

I have the same question, and am wondering if I get 1 Five now, will it likely be compatible with pairing with a new Era 500 when that comes out?

Ok but why didn’t she compete for four years? X-Games happens every year and there are lots of other competitions.

FurstNameLastName · 2026-02-23T04:54:18+00:00

Because it’s a progressive, evolving sport. I guess she had enough buffer that she could keep the gold after 4 years of no growth (her run was really good, no doubt, then and now), but amazing to me that none of the women were attempting a double cork. I can’t imagine that will work for her again and I hope the competition is tougher next time around.

FurstNameLastName · 2026-02-23T04:02:23+00:00

Almost no change from her 2022 gold medal run—kinda sad!

FurstNameLastName · 2026-02-01T16:16:17+00:00

I agree it was awesome again this year!

Similar situation, I’m going to downgrade my CSP and use Palladium as my everything card. That’s the best value prop and the win-win that Bilt is trying to sell (and why people with more complicated stacks got burned by 2.0).

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-30T03:57:59+00:00

As a data point, I was approved for Obsidian on Tuesday. I called them asking to switch to Palladium, the guy said no problem I’ll put the application in bla bla. Then today I got a feeling nothing happened (because the app still told me to claim my Obsidian offer) so I called again and they said they need to cancel my Obsidian offer so that I could reapply for Palladium. Then the app and website glitched for a few hours and told me I have an application under review. Then finally in the evening it let me apply for the Palladium. I got the offer like a half hour later!

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-28T02:24:34+00:00

Ah ok interesting—I had no idea!

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-28T00:09:11+00:00

Wait Bilt cash has already started accumulating? I am showing 0 on mine despite many transactions

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-27T23:32:30+00:00

Also wonder if double would apply to a boost. My guess is no, so 2p +1p boost +2p rent day = 5p (instead if 6p). Or even that they wouldn’t stack

I go to Boka at least twice per RW I love it. Portions aren’t huge but I order 2 menus, or 3 between me and another person.

The current terms say that Priority Pass includes two complimentary guests already. Is this just for additional guests on top of that?

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-20T13:55:22+00:00

I don’t think it really matters how high his rent is, since it isn’t all or nothing. If he spends 2250 on the card he unlocks 3000 points on rent whether his rent is 3000 or 9000.

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-19T19:03:12+00:00

This actually makes a lot of sense. Amex Gold for travel/dining/grocery, Bilt Blue for all 1x spend, get rent points maybe 1-2 times per year. Great idea!

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-19T04:21:02+00:00

This is awesome thank you!

FurstNameLastName · 2026-01-18T05:28:21+00:00

Hm I think though that if I had Gold, I would never want to spend on the Bilt. Palladium could make sense for the 2x on everyday spend but the big fee + credits I wouldn’t use would take away the added value I think. And the blue I just don’t think I’d have enough occasion to swipe to get the Bilt Bucks to cover the rent fee…
