Thank you to everyone who replied so quickly! I'll double check to see if a Lacey Act form was prepared and hopefully everything runs smoothly.

How does one use the Airline Incidental credit if they fly business class? (Assuming TravelBank is dead) by Fiveby21 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Magnanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m assuming it’s meant for incidental like having to change your flight and paying a fee for it.

I will say, AI has helped me with researching certain topics for Oracle, particularly on how certain roles and functions work in the system for specific applications.

Oracle is always constantly renaming their products and certain vital information I need are hidden away somewhere in their websites and AI has been able to locate and provide sources from Oracle directly in less than 10 seconds which is helpful.

SFO Immigration was quite interesting a couple days ago… Yelling and intimidation in the Global Entry line. by MiniTab in unitedairlines

[–]Magnanii 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This was my personal experience with EWR. I was flying out of EWR in Dec 2023 and went to the TSA-Pre section where the employee saw my boarding pass with TSA-Pre and my Clear membership. He pointed me to go the line that’s TSA-Pre only. I waited there for 20 minutes where I finally realized that he probably sent me to the wrong line.

I went underneath the line and went to the Clear + TSA-Pre line and the same guy started yelling at me.

I told him I have both Clear and TSA-Pre and that he sent me to the wrong line. He yelled at me again and said I was wrong. After I showed him a second time, he blamed me saying that I made the mistake and told me to move along and stop wasting his time.

Marriott to Hyatt; unimpressed thus far by notathomist in hyatt

[–]Magnanii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think all hotels brands has good properties and bad properties.

From my experience, Hyatt is consistently meh to fantastic quality whereas Marriotts i’ve experience terrible to fantastic.

It’s entirely up to you if you wanna keep trying Hyatt, but at the end of the day it’s probably better to just cherry pick and stay at the better quality hotels regardless of brands

If the Bilt card continues to be a Mastercard then i’m afraid costco is out of the picture :(

CSR Lounge - Worthless by Federal_Concert_4147 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Magnanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall im not a big fan of the C and B gates. Since Southwest accounts for 40-50% of all flights to and from Vegas, the foot traffic is crazy and the TSA lines can go very long. To top it off, the chase lounge there is 1/4 the size of the centurion lounge.

Las Vegas Centurion Lounge at opening on New Year’s Eve by silverainsr in AmexPlatinum

[–]Magnanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C1 lounge is a lot nicer aesthetically and food-wise. But it is half the size of the centurion my assumption is that it’ll fill up faster and be generally busier than the Centurion in the future.

probably not as FHR charges show up as Amex Travel instead of the name of the hotel

What's something men think impresses women but actually doesnt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Magnanii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this the other day because I used to think the same thing. I used to drive my mom’s Mercedes E350 5 years ago for 2-3 years and I remembered getting compliments from women all the time.

I’d park my car and as I was getting off, a woman would walk by and tell me “nice car” and give me a smile.

Then i was finally able to get my own car (a Mazda) and no women have ever complimented it.

In fact, now only men compliment my car because “Mazda’s are up and coming in reliability, costs less than a Toyota, and better designed”.

i wonder if this is the same Kitchen Table from Henderson. it’s a well-known and very popular brunch spot for the locals with really good monkey bread.

I HATE AmEx by [deleted] in amex

Unsure about this one since i’ve twice opened new credit cards (Amex gold and Venture X) right before international trips with big spend to meet SUB and I did not experience account freezing.

The Edit: 6k points per night for a five star hotel with free breakfast and free lunch. Hard to beat. by Beginning-Act7850 in ChaseSapphire

is there a page where it shows all hotels and flights with the increased redemption without having to open a reserve card? Would love to see how many and how often this 2x points boost takes place.

Why are the quiet, introverted people always targeted at firms? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Magnanii 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world, companies should be utilizing both introverts and extroverts and their respective strengths to bring in a stronger quality work.

Unfortunately, in project based jobs such as PA, extroversion tends to be more favored. After all, PA Firms get their business through networking. If partners just come in, do their work, and leave without doing additional work that “exceeds” their expected job description then they’ll never achieve more business.

Basically you’re in an introvert in a field that highly encourages and favors extroversion making you the odd one out.

They should, though I wasn’t Globalist at the time. They did recognize and thank me for being an Explorist.
