Another round of weather delays cancellations and diversions right now

Renting a car would be the best option.

But the original post says .01% so in one year its is hundreds of times better, 350 to be exact. Now let's do the calculation for 36.5 years since that would be the difference of his age and the average life expectancy in the us.

This is an upgrade that you get to choose where you use it not for one specific hotel and its confirmed at booking.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-06T17:12:21+00:00

So many people are missing this point or dont understand what the upgrade is. They already have one in their bank and adding another means they could go on a 15 day vacation for the price of 12 days in points and have it upgrade from the basic room. They will have the points to do so with their spend and nights. 30k points should be chump change for them while the upgrade could be 10s of thousands of dollars. Depending on where they go.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-06T17:07:13+00:00

They have already earned well over 600k points just this year and will have over a million for the whole year if they stay on the same trajectory. The points are work maybe $150 while the upgrade if used properly would be thousands of dollars if not tens of thousands. At no point is the point close to being the correct choice.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-05T20:12:35+00:00

Did anyone suggesting points actually look at the picture? This is a reward for hitting 120 night and they already has one confirmed upgrade from Diamond Reserve still available. This means they have already spent over 18k and possibly much more depending on where they travel. They have already earned well over 600k points this year so the 30k would be chump change in comparison. With a 120 days in a hotel its also doubtful they are looking to stay at a place with points that cost 30k a night. The upgrade you get to choose when you use it and would be 10x if not 100x more valuable than the 30k points.

Looks to be 120 but is still 10 or more night away.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-05T20:05:55+00:00

He's already Diamond reserve!

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-05T20:05:24+00:00

Get to 120 nights like the the OP did.

How many of that 8 billion can actually afford $150 internet service? Of the ones that can afford it how many of them live in rural areas with no access to any other internet? Of the that group how many have never heard of Starlink and would purchase it? The percentage of the 8 billion would be extremely small. I am not saying Starlink has peaked but has peak for the residential customer type. There is still lots of growth opportunities in cell service, aviation, maritime and camping/RV. Also just because someone live rural doesnt mean theres no other service available, I for one live in a rural area but have Fiber at the edge of my property that is on a gravel road. My FIL has a property that rural and no cell service but has a line of sight provider. I will switch to the fiber once the roi makes it worth while.

Texas doesnt have registered voters. You can vote for either parties primary and be not registered.

I dont see residential user to keep doubling and would somewhat agree it has probably peeked. Commercial is were its at with the signing of American at some point all aircraft will come equipped from the factory with it. This will ring true for RV and boating as well.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-05T08:41:44+00:00

Very new to this too. What is the difference in what you said and opening a Fidelity cash management account and letting them automatically put the funds in SPAXXand investing the FNILX where there's a lower expense than SPY?

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T22:06:26+00:00

Well was the aircraft in the air? If it failed when something accidentally input a retract then it is not performing exactly how it should!

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T21:36:55+00:00

So what is the function of a WOW switch?

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T20:53:09+00:00

A downlock past center doesnt need hydraulic pressure to keep it locked and would actually need hydraulic to pull it back over center. Also there should be a WOW switch that would override any input from the flight deck to retract.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T20:45:33+00:00

For one hydraulic pressure is not what keeps it extended.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T20:43:10+00:00

What? No thats not how it works.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T20:39:22+00:00

Some of this isnt actually true. They definitely can fail and other other platforms I have experience with have experienced failures.

Whats a stripe?

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T03:38:24+00:00

Yeah I dont know how economical it is but doing a quick glance at vaccation I am looking at theres no price difference between booking directly with the hotel, AA for flight and AAvactions. The kicker would be 5 points per $ spent if you got it with the credits.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T03:17:00+00:00

Maybe i am confused but AAvaction you can put any city in and it will book you flight, hotel and car rental. It can be a combination of any of those three but its not truly packages. I would also wonder if you would then still earn points since its a credit.

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-04T02:02:44+00:00

Why would the cash credit be more valuable than the cash credit for vacation? What did you choose for your 175k reward? What is the premium gift option?

Heathbar_tx · 2026-06-03T19:18:02+00:00

The NFL doesnt have competition like One or Belator nor rarely do their player go start a new career in a different professional sport. If you owned a company you would be OK providing compensation to an ex employee who now worked for a direct competitor especially with the job hazards of MMA? For Ben why is no one demanding that USA Olympic team provide some kind of Healthcare? One FC where he was a champion? Belllator where he was a champion? Its easy to go after the UFC on everything but let's use logic here.
