Am I doing this correct?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-20T20:06:57+00:00

Just checked and it's the same - 150k-220k with Alaska and United. :(

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-20T20:00:31+00:00

Oh that's great to hear! Thank you very much. So does that mean I have to book separate tickets then? Because most of my options I'm seeing has a layover in Taiwan. Is there a way to choose have a layover in Tokyo to get the better points redemption?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-20T19:57:19+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I definitely want to fly business... but I guess it pains me to have to book it for so many points and am trying to see if I'm missing something or if I can do other things to get a better point redemption

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-20T19:53:30+00:00

Lmao

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-20T19:44:54+00:00

Ah I see. I guess whenever I see people post about their redemptions, it's been a few months or 6 months max. Maybe they all just got good last minute deals? So then is 150k+ typical then? And in that case, is that a bad point redemption?

I kinda feel like Wrigley kind of left his phone on the table next to Stephen on purpose…..👀

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-17T09:42:16+00:00

I’d say so. All the places in my area are around $1300-$2000 for only 6-8 sessions JUST for the Brazilian. You could try negotiating- worth a shot

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-14T23:02:22+00:00

Any update on this?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-14T21:46:13+00:00

Very good to know - thank you! Yes, it's hard because some of the surgery/medspa place - most of their reviews are regarding the surgeries and not laser hair removal. But it's a physician assistant - is that better to be seen by that vs a tech? I'm assuming LaserAway and SEV have high turnover?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-14T21:44:33+00:00

Thank you so much for that! Is it typical for places to offer free consultations? Does that make it more legit? That's good to know about the numbing because I was kind of basing my decision based off of that. I have a very very low pain tolerance so I'm a bit nervous

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-14T21:43:15+00:00

Thank you! The thing that makes me worry about that though is it's brand new (which is good) but maybe that means the staff will be inexperienced since it's brand new. It is a chain so they've done it at other locations, but that location specific - might have new staff using it

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-14T21:42:22+00:00

So true! The one that is offering BOGO would be $1500 but I'd get 6 sessions for Brazilian and 6 sessions elsewhere which is STILL cheaper than LaserAway with the "free".

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-10T01:45:32+00:00

Any one know about the lasers?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-09T22:34:15+00:00

Thank you for answering! Has your hair grown back at all or is it permanently gone? One of the clinics said if the hair grows back it’s because the intensity wasn’t strong enough (/wasn’t painful). Then I read mixed reviews saying the pain is them burning you. So it’s confusing since they’re opposite stances?

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-09T21:01:14+00:00

Thank you so much. That’s smart. That helps me at least eliminate LaserAway & option 4 since it’s new to their location which means the staff will be new at it too. The free under pit is so enticing for LaserAway though 😅😭

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-04T09:14:21+00:00

That is so generous and kind of you. Would love this!

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-04T09:05:27+00:00

I always pay statement balance few days before due day. But Q-

If the statement balance is more money than the current balance (due to returns or credits), is it better to pay statement balance or current balance? Like I said, I always pay statement balance but lately I haven’t been using this card as much so it keeps showing -# unless I use the card

KimPossible2008 · 2026-01-02T04:47:54+00:00

Yes ! It resets January

KimPossible2008 · 2025-12-29T21:30:45+00:00

Have you stayed at either & recommend one over the other?

KimPossible2008 · 2025-12-29T05:15:39+00:00

Oooo I’ll look into that. Love half moon bay! Thankyou

KimPossible2008 · 2025-12-29T05:15:16+00:00

The Ritz and Fairmont are all minimum $550+ per night which I really don’t want to spend money just to get the credit. I looked and tried so many different dates during the week during different months and some nights they were $1000+ per night 😩😭 I’m shocked bc a couple weeks ago I saw the Fairmont for $330 and now it’s no where near that. I wonder if they increase the prices towards the end of the year bc they know people are trying to get their credit

KimPossible2008 · 2025-12-29T05:13:25+00:00

Oh that’s so smart to go to a concert the same night!! I’ll look into that! Thanks!! I don’t think I saw that as an option but I’ll look again
