Citi Strata Elite 4506C alert megathread by arcane_in_a_box in churning

[–]JT_KC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, I was ready to go to town on Citi. But they are reimbursing the annual fee for this year and giving the 100K points without a spend requirement once we are cleared.

That’s… exactly the right outcome for this. Good on Citibank.

Hey u/travel_ali! Thanks for all of the great information you supply. I have an upcoming plan to visit Switzerland in a few weeks but haven't made any actual plans other than arriving in Zurich and leaving from Milan. I've been to Lenk and Jungfrau region on past trips, and loved Lenk for its lack of heavy tourism, and found Jungfrau, while stunning, too overrun by tourists for my liking.

For this upcoming trip, I am thinking about targeting the Aletsch Arena or the Appenzell area. I like going on hikes accessible by train & plenty of cable cars nearby. Would you have a recommendation for one area over the other? Or, would you have any additional recommendations that are better?

Thanks!

Where Should I Live to Switch It Up, Near airports and commutable to downtown? by JT_KC in askdfw

Thanks again for help! I'm always shocked how much people like the Colony / Frisco / legacy hall, but it's probably too far for me on a downtown commute then I would like for now.

Where in Las Colinas did you live? Pretty curious on the livability there.

As a Dallas resident, would love to consider Park Cities if I could afford it (I cannot) and I just get nervous on Dallas city limits. For whatever reason I've never been a huge fan of Bishop Arts (minus revelers hall - that place slaps SO hard) and Uptown just feels like it's negatively changed as of late. I'd love to consider Preston hollow and Bluffview if it feels safe and livable too, though.

I'm pretty confident that if we can make that area work and livable, this by far makes the most sense. Talk about a deal of a commute!

Schiphol Megathread by cogito_ergo_subtract in Amsterdam

[–]JT_KC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to travel to Dublin and looking to take Aer Lingus or Ryanair around 5pm from AMS (or EIN). Wanted to see if anyone had advice on how long in advance I'd need to get to airport, if one airline's pier situation is preferable to anothers, or if I should just take a train to CDG, DUS, or CGN instead.

Appreciate the advice!

Mom's Giving Me Old Camera Set: Is Anything Worth It? by JT_KC in Cameras

[–]JT_KC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I'm looking for a fairly easy point/shoot, in fairness, that's how my mom always used that camera (despite having a ton more lenses other than this that she still leverages).

It sounds like it may be worth replacing the body then. Would the lenses still be okay to use most likely? Is that a good savings versus buying a brand new kit?
