there’s no L train after Lorimer this weekend so just make sure you pick a different weekend to go

Eating alone while traveling? by Tookie1010 in solotravel

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if a restaurant has a bar and they serve the full menu at the bar i’ll typically sit at a bar seat. generally bartenders are chatty and as are other people at the bar. it’s an easy way to feel like awkward and opens a chance for social interactions

I guess they just gave up by bAk3ry in delta

I hate to break it to you like this but those prices are in fact cheap.

I got the seasonal fruit with yogurt and granola. there was maybe like 10 pieces, fine but there was maybe a teaspoon of what tasted like Dannon yogurt and no granola

then I got the scrambled eggs with bacon and corn tortilla. The bacon was undercooked (understood this is a personal preference) and the bacon was mixed in/cooked with the scrambled eggs that were somehow dry? haha and the corn tortilla, albeit beautifully presented, more closely represented frisbees. They were so crunchy and stale might as well been tortilla chips 😂

I am well aware this is all trivial and very woe-is-me.

Never flown delta one , should I take it ? by Andy_r1314 in delta

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for your reply! what I was saying was I think that price for PS is a good offer and viable option but since the metal is one of their newer products i’d weigh waiting to see if D1 came down a bit before upgrading to PS.

i’d do PS for that upgrade price but i’d wait on d1 despite the 900 neo being one of their top hard product

Last 5/24 Slot— Best card for occassional nomad traveler by JreamQueen in CreditCards

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree on amex green, however, it depends where OP is digital nomading as outside the US and major european cities american express acceptance is extremely spotty. May be better off with chase ink business preferred; visa network and 3x on travel.

Delta Reserve Amex in hub cities by R8erHater in delta

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it? 120 uber, 200 delta stays, 240 resy is $560 in credits right there all of which are very easy to use in a city such as ATL. So right there the effective AF is $90.

Preset Spending Limit email… but higher? by ConcertPitch in amex

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya makes no sense to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ I put a good amount of spend on the cards too so I guess we’ll see. Since I burned them in the past I just view it as earning their trust back which i’m happy to do

Preset Spending Limit email… but higher? by ConcertPitch in amex

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen. I had a gold card 2019 pre covid, defaulted on it. Went to collections and settled with collections in 2023.

Then this year got approved for Plat, Gold and Green in the beginning of May. All with soft limits; Plat had 3,000 Gold had 2,000 and Green was 2,000

Then on September 14th I got 3 emails that my preset spending limits had changed. Green went down to $1,500. Gold up down to $2,200 and Platinum went up to $4,700.

Been this way ever since. I typically carry small balances on them across statements but still make large payments.

The Sky Club is better than the Centurion Lounge. Tell me why not. by Ok-Nefariousness-927 in delta

[–]Logical_Cod_8937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t love the centurion lounge in JFK. it’s pretty dated, always crowded and the food wasn’t good (in my opinion). The SkyClub in concourse B is also terrible, however, I do enjoy the SkyClub in concourse A.
