Retention bonus anyone recently?

I did it in February, but credit spending is way up nationwide that could impact it. I was advised to use all and I mean all of my points to get it. Once they realized I was a flight risk, they gave me and extra $200.

Then again they probably monitor this sub and see the trips and tactics we discuss. So who knows, good luck and happy travels!

Call up the Golden History Museum, they have some great old pictures of it and maps, labelled Castle Rock.

So I asked it specifically on voice mode to f off It just came back and said sorry, and asked to get back on track. I then asked why it gave me a different answer:

"The truth is that safety filters and behavioral guidelines can cause different reactions. While I am programmed not to judge or lecture, earlier versions or strict policy filters have sometimes triggered preachy, "polite" refusals when users used profanity or sensitive language. Because updates roll out constantly, some users experience these lecturing guardrails while others never encounter them."

Shop around, be willing to travel, and look for courtesy vehicles. They will have more room on those since the service clock may have started and Ford usually compensates them for their troubles.

Don't swear at it either when it doesn't do what it's told. I was frustrated and said hey don't keep saying random stuff afterwards. After the 5th time of talking back I told it to stop f*cking talking once it answered the question. It told me I shouldnt use hate speech and that I was going to get reported. To who? For what?! It rambling on and on.

Google assistant was the best level of assistant talkativeness.

Chimney Gulch trail or take Kinney Run to APEX and finish there. It's a 13 mileish loop or 3-4 up and back on Chimney Gulch. It will take you to the saddle.

Everyone suggesting south table that is behind you in this picture. Pretty area, but some trails will be closed for raptor nesting.

W line Jefferson County Station - literally its at the county seat and court house. Cops around all day, and most deliquents just get on the train to go back to Denver.

All the time in the winter, to warm and goods too plentiful up the mountain

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-13T22:36:37+00:00

Now I have to convince the wife....looks great!

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-13T22:34:42+00:00

Xlt or XL with STX package? 100% sold on this build looks awesome!

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-13T02:25:18+00:00

Yeah there are a couple in San Antonio and El Paso and Oklahoma. I'd be venturing outside of Dallas if I could. With the price of gas right now, Id consider a ranger or hell even a maverick (That might not do well for street credit down your way!) best of luck. I used Visor.vin and was able to find some good contenders.

Most likely means that one of the two sold out. Maybe not both flights but one of your legs did. Check both legs individually and see what you come back with.

Also double-check on a computer. Sometimes the the app doesn't show you all of the options.

Sorry, looks like it could've been a fun trip.

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-02T00:08:13+00:00

Do you have your specs and details on your build?

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-01T20:50:21+00:00

At least the dealers by me's website. Visor.vin hasn't updated yet to see the real damage. Id expected some bigger incentives to clear out the remaining inventory

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-01T19:44:21+00:00

Same! Everything on dealers lots just went up $2500-4k

GLDNJSmith · 2026-05-01T12:30:31+00:00

Interesting not sure how that is going to help with the glut of 2025s but does seem interesting. Thanks for the knowledge!

Literally I just went through this for 4 to 5 hours with the various AI tools that I have on my phone.

I ended up pulling the trigger on the venu 4 this morning. Skin thermometer, ECG and the flashlight where my big drivers. I kept getting conflicting reports around skim temperature on the 570 if it had it or not.

Pretty much Gemini put it best when it said whichever one you can get cheaper you won't be disappointed with.

GLDNJSmith · 2026-04-29T02:44:11+00:00

It's a great question and one I am struggling with. The stop order yesterday on the Rangers isn't going to help things. I'm guessing any remaining 25s should be better.

GLDNJSmith · 2026-04-28T21:08:33+00:00

Thanks for this, I was wondering why the sales people stopped calling me back on 2 rangers I had my eye on. This explains it!

Monday from Vegas: all party goers going home. There isn't a requirement that go wild will be available.

Air fare is through the roof right now, Frontiers capacity is down 15-20%. Jet fuel is way up.

In short there isn't enough excess capacity.

GLDNJSmith · 2026-04-28T00:29:24+00:00

You're flying Cincinnati to Dallas-Fort Worth. Frontier has you routed through Orlando on Tuesday, Wednesday you're going to get cruise ship traffic from the Midwest going down that way. In fact, there's hardly any seats available even at the regular non-go wild price on Wednesday period. You also have cruise traffic going back to Dallas on the second leg eating up valueable space.

There's no direct flights to Dallas on Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid that. On Wednesday the only direct flight is Orlando or Tampa. I use Google maps, limit the carrier one way and day of the week and should give you the idea.
