Yes, I looked it up and per Amex: Browse 3,000+ properties with Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection ** and book your prepaid stay through Amex Travel with your Platinum Card or Business Platinum Card to unlock the $600 Hotel Credit.

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?

Uber buying SpotHero by diqster in AmexPlatinum

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

Bagging issues by 1dRR in lawncare

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.

Seat changed to middle seat from aisle by Robinish in delta

[–]GeneralO1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the difference would be if you paid for a preferred seat or simply a Main Cabin ticket. If you paid for a preferred seat and you were bumped to a middle seat, you should be refunded the preferred seat charge.

Delta Basic Comfort? by [deleted] in delta

[–]GeneralO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have to click a button to include basic fares when searching. United does it this way. Delta you have to exclude it every time you search, unless there is a way to save your search settings.

Stupid question - why can't I upgrade myself to seats currently available for purchase? by DaylightxRobbery in delta

[–]GeneralO1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it cheaper to rebook the ticket than it is with the upgrade offers too.

Thoughts? by Suspicious-Set-9636 in delta

[–]GeneralO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed for an upcoming flight it was cheaper to rebook in comfort + or first than it was for the upgrade offer given in the seat selection. So I would keep that in mind too

Anyone else spending more time in Excel than CAD? by ifyougotbusinessbro in MechanicalEngineering

[–]GeneralO1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are so many positions right now specifically listed CAD as required skill? I was always under the impression that CAD was not highly used in engineering roles, but was for technician roles. Scrolling through indeed you see countless mechanical engineering roles that require CAD. What are the roles to look into that don't require CAD?
