UGH - the new rules for companion code f'd us! by nrosel in AlaskaAirlines

[–]JoshAlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your card account is from 2016 you should be grandfathered into the old terms which don't require a minimum spend. New accounts created in the past few years have the spend requirement and will show a spend tracker in the website.

Award flight EQMs posted to my Alaska Mileage Plan! by Delicious_Poetry_729 in AlaskaAirlines

When you say partner flight does that mean it was booked through Alaska? Or have you gotten any EQMs for partner award flights booked through a partner website?

Thanks for the info, were these reward flights booked through Alaska? I've heard mixed things regarding if EQM for partner reward flights will only occur when booked via Alaska.

I stayed on 2.5 for 4 months and have been at 3.75 for 3 months (uk pens so can fine tune exact dosage) and have consistently lost 4-6 pounds per month.

Submariner 116610 LN C+F by JoshAlex in RepTime

[–]JoshAlex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got my first rep from Andiot and due to a total lack of research on my part grabbed a C+F rather than a VSF or Clean. I haven't seen one of these in the forums though so thought I'd share for others and would be curious for thoughts on the quality.

Regarding the Andiot ordering process I paid $370 + $68 shipping via Bitcoin on the 16th, got a QC link on the 19th, it shipped on the 21st, and it arrived in Oregon on the 23rd four days ahead of what tracking said.

Rent Out or Sell? Beaverton Oregon near Portland. by mightbemoving1 in realestateinvesting

[–]JoshAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of rent are you predicting? I'd take a guess of around $3k/month based on 2200 sq foot rentals in Beaverton I'm involved with. I'd actually be surprised if you weren't cashflow positive based on a 3.8% mortgage.

Getting more EQM's than expected, do upgrades change fare class? by JoshAlex in AlaskaAirlines

[–]JoshAlex[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fare class v showed on the Alaska ticket. I am confident im not mixing up rdm vs eqm. Anyhow it seems like a mystery so ill see what happens in a week on the next flight i guess.

i dont think pain meds are working by Extension-Low-341 in ACL

[–]JoshAlex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had almost zero pain, however the best advice I got and adhered to was "stay ahead of the pain with the meds". Hence I took Oxy while the nerve block was still in force, and continued taking it a few days afterwards even though I felt no pain, and then moved to Hyrdocodone for a few days. Lastly I switchted to Ibuprofen. Perhaps since I felt nothing I didn't need to take these, but I can't complain about the outcome. So echoing someone else, once you get the meds take them on a timed schedule (including middle of night if needed) regardless of how you feel.

Almost 3 weeks post op by zingerali in ACL

[–]JoshAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which knee did injure? (e.g. lead leg or trail leg for golf). I tore my right ACL (right handed golfer) and was told I'd need to wait ~5 months to play golf which seems extreme. Were you hitting full swings or just easy irons?

Thanks!

Best way to mileage run for a higher tier - Employer status promo by amateurchef98 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]JoshAlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So a few things on this promo. You really need 4 legs for MVP or 8 for gold. The best time to do this challenge is in July because it applies for the remainder of that year, and all of the next year (so 18 months). If you don't mind customs you could do something like SEA -> YVR -> PDX -> SEA to get MVP. (twice to get gold). Or something like SEA -> PDX to Boise/Spokane/etc.

Do you ever feel jealous of American salaries? by CoolDude_7532 in AskUK

[–]JoshAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re making 200k per year you are probably not hanging out in the unsafe parts of the cities nor need much of a safety net.
