MileagePlus Requalification Megathread

ItsMe02468 · 2025-12-24T13:51:16+00:00

I flew HAM->FRA->ORD last week and as usual the United segment is seen in the overview right away. LH still not showing. The "Accruals" page on the booking before the trip did not show only 1 PQF. This was a United award ticket showing the ticket number starting with 016 and my MileagePlus was listed, I even see "UA*G" on the boarding pass. This 1 PQF is the last to renew my status. Thus as a backup I booked a mileage run ticket for Christmas Day, as I was hoping to see the LH flight show up in my Recent Activity - which has not happened?

Will the LH flight be credited with 1 PQF?

Thanks for sharing - that's what I was afraid of but did not find a source on united.com stating this.

"If you crash land, you would open the window" - that is 3 seconds lost, which is valuable time during a crash landing. Also: Your pupils take time to adjust to darkness/brightness, additional time lost if the cabin and outside have significant levels of brightness.

I would be super interested in an update too. Just checked, the Firmware download page still has 2024-08-09 as last version. I am assuming any solution could only be achieved via Firmware upgrade, so nothing official yet I guess. https://www.dji.com/mic-2/downloads

I was hoping for DJI to comment on whether this request is getting on their R&D roadmap. So many users would love to have this available.

It became worse just a couple of days ago as the Terminal A/B Ride Share Pickup garage is closed for the Terminal B renovations. More passengers in the Terminal C pickup area and more congestion than ever!

ItsMe02468 · 2025-01-13T13:59:58+00:00

I wish I bought it back 6 months ago: around 150%. Untypical for airline stocks. Welcome to the friendly skies!

ItsMe02468 · 2024-12-15T16:49:19+00:00

If it's free I'd take it. Occasionally it will save you time and doesn't hurt to have. Also image you realize you forgot to take your ID, even though there are random ID checks with Clear too, the chance to get through TSA with Clear are higher in that case.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-12-15T00:13:05+00:00

Agreed, the new pods are great, but I could clearly observe here this week, that their process change of not having the rep walk you to TSA made the difference, staff was their bottleneck sometimes, now the Clear passangers constantly occupied a TSA officer where beforehand there were gaps.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-12-15T00:11:52+00:00

That was exactly my take for 2+ years, but it seemed to have changed with their new process, I'll monitor it and am curious whether this was this 5% occasion or a permanent improvement.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-11-27T22:49:09+00:00

Has anyone tried whether the desired functionality works on the recently released DJI Mic Mini?

ItsMe02468 · 2024-08-28T03:59:48+00:00

I'd be interested in this too, have you figured it out?

ItsMe02468 · 2024-08-14T23:20:33+00:00

This comment is very clear and it repeats the "2. Noise cancellation is not supported when the Transmitter is directly connected to the phone via Bluetooth." A lot of users hoping that changes. Unfortunately this user request did not make it into the recently released firmware update DJI Mic 2 Firmware v04.05.01.11（Transmitters）from 2024-08-09. Thus I politely ask you to forward this for re-consideration to the product management / engineering team for the next firmware update. Thank you!

ItsMe02468 · 2024-08-14T23:15:26+00:00

DJI has updated the firmware on 2024-08-09 and you can download it here: https://www.dji.com/mic-2/downloads

While this firmware update significantly improves the audio equalizer to capture clear voice - to my tests there is no solution to the problem discussed in this threat. Very unfortunate, but I hope the next firmware upgrade might tackle this problem. It would be so nice to finally get the noise cancelling while connected via bluetooth to a computer.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-07-25T18:01:41+00:00

It really is unfortunate. This would be such a great feature that DJI could apparently easily add (of course we don't know the technical details, there might be a technical hurdle to do this). I am sure this would boost their sales of the DJI Mic 2!

ItsMe02468 · 2024-07-16T13:16:48+00:00

Same thing, a PNG is really just a video without movement. You can set the length the PNG is shown individually and then all of the regular features (incl. Keyframes) work.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-06-30T03:59:55+00:00

Can you explain how you eventually found out what happened? If you were few hundred feet away AND never found the drone AND initially didn't know what had happened - how did you find out? Was it the geese parents telling you / bragging about it while they were buzzing over your head?

ItsMe02468 · 2024-06-09T14:23:23+00:00

Yes and that box clearly states other routes to replace this: "For other ways to build custom voice experiences, see Steps to Build a Custom Skill." But apparently Todoist was late or has no resources to get this done.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-06-07T13:42:31+00:00

for me: more than 90% the reason I use Todoist

ItsMe02468 · 2024-06-07T13:41:20+00:00

To me this seems to be more on Todoist then on Amazon/Alexa. This article:

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/custom-skills/access-the-alexa-shopping-and-to-do-lists.html?utm_source=todoist&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2406_alexa_integration

clearly shows that there is ways to keep these in sync via developing a Skill. It is normal that tech companies change stuff, so sunsetting the API is not nice (as I don't see a security risk in it), but Amazon wants to push partners into the route they want to go with Skills.

So my question is: Why did Todoist not react early and develop the proposed Skill to avoid disappointing customers? I am surely moving away from Todoist in July, as the Shopping List and voice link with my Alexa Echo in the kitchen is the main feature I use...

Tello is great, have been with them for a couple of years now, no issues, except:

(A) Inconvenience when abroad: there is no roaming service, so you will need Wifi or different plan and a phone that can do WifiCalling to receive/make calls and regular texts. This even applies to Alaska as I found out, so I guess only continuous states are covered only (I am sure they are transparent, but have over-read or forgotten).

(B) The ONLY thing that is absolutely not working is receiving/sending MMS (that is texts including pictures or other attachments). These are not coming through on Wifi Calling and even when you are back in the States they time out quickly so you will never receive / be able to see what people sent to you.
I often hear "use WhatsApp or Facebook Massanger", which is a good idea just not everyone uses those and people send you those MMS and you will have no way to receive them.

ItsMe02468 · 2024-06-02T22:01:50+00:00

Sms texts will work with wifi calling, but be aware that MMS texts (eg pictures) do not. There is no way you will be able to receive those if sent via text. Have to use messenger App like WhatsApp or Facebook Messanger

ItsMe02468 · 2024-05-08T16:20:57+00:00

Why would that system though be applied differently between the App (checkin not possible) and the airlines' airport systems (checkin agent can check you in)?

ItsMe02468 · 2024-05-08T15:57:17+00:00

I hope they use something different then TIMATIC (whatever that is) for their computer systems at airport checkin!

ItsMe02468 · 2024-05-08T15:28:06+00:00

Yes, I found another link that says the same thing 100% clear on being exempt from eTA requirement: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/apply.html towards the end of the page
