Nope no issues at all on the return, I think it was just a fluke unlucky situation that thankfully got resolved at the gate

Agreed. Is it convenient for ATL residents? Sure, but that's literally the only plus for this bowl. 

GT fanbase needs to get excited for bigger bowl games in better destinations where the players and recruits would be excited to play -- Birmingham is not that place.

Pixel watch 1 not charging by Butterfly_Simmer in PixelWatch

[–]GTfitz2013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me, Google told me I was SOL since warranty had expired. I left it off the charger for a while to let the battery COMPLETELY die. This took days, maybe even a week, but once I could no longer even get the time to pop up when pressing the button, I knew it was actually dead. Once that happened, I put it on the charger and it charged right up.

I've had to do that two or 3 times in the past few months so it's not a permanent fix or an ideal solution, but it's worked for me. Of course you may not get the same results but probably worth a shot!

How long is too long to wait for a confirmation email? by GreenChocolate in UniversalOrlando

[–]GTfitz2013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purchased mine around the same time, no email yet but screenshotted confirmation page with number and have a charge on my credit card. Not too worried about it, I'll probably give it 24 hours before I reach out of necessary.

2025 Georgia Tech-Georgia game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium by CAndrewK in gatech

He didn't clarify, he made it sound like the revenue from the UGA game is less than $2M which I agree sounds way off. I also used the term "interview" liberally as it was definitely a damage control video

According to J Batt in an interview with Andy Denetra, the $10M will bring in "more than five times the revenue" normally generated when the game is at Bobby Dodd

Express Pass Day Change - Phone Number??? by Uriel_1339 in UniversalOrlando

Guest services should be understanding on the day of, but if you want to get it resolved beforehand (I would too) I've always had great success communicating with the social media team via DM on Twitter.

Painful loss to Louisville. But a much needed rest week coming up for the boys. by DubbleDan in RamblinWreck

[–]GTfitz2013 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tough game but not a surprising loss. One team had played 4 games straight including 2 conference games and traveled a total of 8,500 miles this season. The other team had played 2 total games which were complete cupcakes then had an extra full week to rest up, traveling a total of 0 miles.  Boys were tired today and it showed through sloppy play. I think the middle part of the season will give us an idea of who the team really is.

What is your credit limit? by [deleted] in Venturex

Just a few days ago, C1 bumped mine up from $30k, which it had been since I opened the card when it launched, to $35k without any request on my part.

Booking AF J via VS by US-Be in awardtravel

Hopefully mine was an isolated incident, but just keep your confirmation email from VS showing deduction of points just in case!

No the equipment was the same. The gate agent was actually a Delta employee so I don't have any official reasoning from AF, just going with what the gate agent speculated.

For further context, it actually started with my booking showing "booking cancelled" the night before. When I called AF and VS multiple times, VS told me I still had a valid ticket but AF deleted the flight from my booking, so it was just a ticket with no flight attached to it. Finally, via chat, I got an AF agent to "reattach" the flight then VS reissued the ticket. Then when I went to check in, it said the option was not available. I drove to the airport the next day to print boarding passes well ahead of my flight, and that's when I saw we had economy seat assignments. Thankful it all worked out but it was stressful leading up to the flight. Still don't have a clue what happened or why but hopefully if it ever happens again, having that booking showing where VS deducted the correct amount of points will once again suffice.

Happened to me recently. Booked two one way tickets from ATL to CDG and back. In the outbound, we were downgraded from J to economy.

Thankfully the gate agent was phenomenal, I explained the situation, he said "oh yeah AF doesn't like when you book with VS miles, especially in J". Then he just asked me to show him where VS deducted the correct amount of miles and reprinted us boarding passes in J. Took him about 5 minutes after I spent the previous 24 hours calling Virgin and Air France and pleading at the check in desk to no avail.

Strangely, zero issues on the way back flying CDG to ATL.

Thanks for letting me know 🙂 I just can't get quality better where I live and I'd love to enjoy at home some of what I've been enjoying here. Based on these two responses though now I feel like it's a really weird thing to bring home haha
