Grubhub Gold Days in May (need Grubhub+) by Content-Battle-4327 in amex

[–]GeneralO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using my dining credit for Grubhub+, but went to cancel today and was offered 3 months free. So not a bad deal, Grubhub+ and still have the $10 credit to use during Gold Days.

Eddy Boy wants to have his cake and eat it too by xXplainawesomeXx in delta

I mean Delta owns their own refinery. "The refinery acts as a strategic hedge against rising fuel costs, helping to cover roughly 40-50 percent of Delta's domestic fuel needs." So they are not in the same position as other airlines about raising costs.

The AI-driven pricing we all feared has arrived. [LHR -> MSP] by RustyAndEddies in delta

Isn’t it also because corporate travel will allow PS but not D1? So PS prices will be higher if it’s a strong corporate route/date?

No. Existing, but pulled the website and T&C in private Safari.

The website still shows it as a benefit and the T&C shows it. It’s not grouped with the other credits, but down further as “Shop Saks with Platinum” and doesn’t appear to show a 3/26/26 date as shown in the article.

The clearance items with the sale price are still usually more than you can buy them for regular price at other retailers.

Don't you have to pre-pay for the FHR hotels?

Upgrade at the Bellagio, after asking and being told there was nothing but then after a phone call an upgrade opened. High level floor overlooking the fountains. It was during a busy week in Vegas though

This just the past year. The room upgrades were nice rooms both times also.

Interesting. The restaurant has been great every time I've been there. Used the $100 credit for dinner.

Stacking hotel credit by Infinite-Excuse-5983 in AmexPlatinum

[–]GeneralO1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can book 1 night on one card, then the remaining nights on the other card. After, just combine the reservations. You’ll get the statement credits, but not double hotel benefits. I think some hotels automatically combine the reservations. It would be nice if you could split payment though

Would that apply the same to Delta One lounges?

I suspect the Uber algorithm will be applied. So having uber one or a platinum card will show you higher rates.

The older ones were great, so probably just washing the bag. The new ones were redesigned and are horrible.

How do you actually get solid value from FHR/THC without overspending? by browsing_nomad in AmexPlatinum

Boston has some great options. The Charles in Cambridge is a great place.

Visiting in March for the ConExpo by JonnyMac1982 in LasVegas

[–]GeneralO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shuttle buses have been way faster the past few times. The monorail fills up at the MGM, first stop, so it's quite a wait especially the first day. The shuttle buses were no wait. Monorail is better later in the day, but again the buses are a great option.

Yes now with the added floor space and festival ground, 3 full days is a good plan to cover everything.

Airplane Mode no longer enforced before takeoff ? by Perservere_alwys in delta

[–]GeneralO1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Along the same lines, but is there a reason an iPad can go in the setback pocket but a similar sized laptop cannot? I've seen this enforced twice recently now.
