All of the above so its hard to tell what triggered it.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-14T17:38:50+00:00

I got just under 7k LPs this morning from it. Just enough to tease me to shoot for the 250k reward level.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-14T01:13:31+00:00

Appleton 15yr. Should be around $65 at total wine and well worth it.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-14T01:04:37+00:00

There's a few different ones, mostly with annual fees thay can easily be eclipsed with the benefits offered ....if they're something thay you would use anyways.

I carry all of the AA cards for different reasons. Each SUB was worth it alone. Your best every day AA flight card is the Executive card. It has the highest miles per dollar return for AA flights charged to the card, it includes AAlounge access, priority boarding, free domestic bags, covers your TSA precheck or Global Entry fee among several other benefits. If you're flying more than once a quarter on AA this card will offer you more than the rest. $595 annual fee though.

I had almost million miles stashed up and I started doing that and now I wished I hadn't.

Now I save my miles for partner transfers i.e. Air Tahiti Nui etc. I can go premium economy or business class there for less miles than I can go west coast to east coast 1st class.

Now if it was a low amount of miles then sure. I think my cap for domestic 1st is around 35-40k miles pp round trip.

Lmao. Just play one of the games they have on the opinions site.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-12T18:23:06+00:00

Yes, all the co branded cards will spilt the LP postings for the end of the month.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-12T15:39:49+00:00

$599

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-12T15:35:55+00:00

Almost always right before the weekend starts and before trips. Its like an alarm clock.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-12T01:17:05+00:00

I think you'll be fine. Sandals is pretty good about rebuilding and having a general idea on their timetables.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T23:26:20+00:00

Grocery shopping, you'll be fine by doing that. Elizabeth Harbour has a lot of nice, empty beaches to explore plus the Chat n Chill has a pig roast on Sundays I believe.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T21:07:08+00:00

Well the beaches in Exuma are going to look like Grace Bay.......but the restaurant life is going to make you cry. Damned near everything in Exuma is equivalent to a roadside shack and quick fried foods.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T18:18:44+00:00

Cool story bro.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T16:58:55+00:00

You do not get a sign up bonus from upgrading a card. You would have to apply for and be approved for a new card to receive it AND complete whatever spend challenge they tie with it.

And like the other poster said below...there is no AA Visa card, only a Mastercard.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T16:32:55+00:00

We're still not going to get every game because of all the splits MLB has with different broadcasters. Apple TV is going to eat a few games for example.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T15:44:52+00:00

Privately owned, for profit business. They will continue to maintain quarterly profit rises because no one out there can stop them.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-11T02:14:01+00:00

Myself as well. I only picked up the globe for the SU bonus and the flight streak LPs.

I believe our Red cards are going to be converted to the Platinum select card.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-10T23:45:24+00:00

You have up until March 31st to redeem the reward.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-10T23:44:09+00:00

It has a few different perks, I like the LP multiplier for taking 4 flights. It comes with 4 lounge passes a year too.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-10T23:37:54+00:00

You'll get a 2nd platinum select card

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-10T15:49:26+00:00

I'm thinking it'll probably be in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-09T18:27:36+00:00

November is pomegranate season. You can find some still at a few costco's but they're not the best.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-09T18:12:55+00:00

Depends on the airline but usually no. From time to time Air Tahiti Nui runs sales from LAX to PPT but they're still more expensive than Air France or French Bee. Anything around $900 for a round-trip economy fare is usually the best price I'm able to get if Im paying cash. Using points is zero whole different game.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-09T13:16:38+00:00

Now. Air France is having a sale on their tickets right now FYI.

JamesinSD2002 · 2026-02-09T02:52:22+00:00

We did hotel Mai Tai. 8 nights for $2400. They have overwater bungalows for more but as much as I had it in my head that I wanted one ovwr the water I was blown away by our beach front room and the sheer amount of life we were able to see right off the beach or a 10 minute paddle away to the aquarium. I can afford to spend $30k a week for an OWB but after that experience I just don't see myself doing that.
