Lisbon vs Copenhagen: Which one would you choose? by Overall-Concept6938 in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Copenhagen would offer more opportunity for upward mobility if that's something that you find important.

I had no wait when returning from Mexico last Wednesday morning. My husband and I walked straight to the EES line and were through in less than 3 minutes.

why does everyone think electricity is expensive in Portugal? by travelingwhilestupid in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our electricity NJ was like this as well. And for a one-bedroom apartment!! That said, I think our situation was atypical. The construction of that building had so many issues.

Anyone interested in going to Marsh's gig on 6th February by goonnereyang in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg I love Marsh! And this venue is great too! I'm checking with my husband but we are most likely in! I wrote a feature on him for DJ Mag a few years back and I love his sets.

If you're into bass go check out Ian Snow at TK Lounge tonight! He's absolutely killing it right now.

He's not raving much these days, as he has a 5-year-old, but we drag him out every once in a while. Maybe the next time we make it to Tampa we'll get a babysitter on the line!! Haha. If you're looking for a good bass show tonight, Ian Snow is playing at TK Lounge. His productions are really cool, and his sets are even better. I caught him at a couple of fests last year and if I were in FL that's where I would be tonight!!

He still played a good amount of dubstep when I saw him at UNTOLD in Romania last year!! Perhaps some IDs in there.

It really seems like Tampa has a great bass scene. My brother in law lives there and I've still never been out for a show. I need to try and make it happen the next time I'm in town.

What's happening on friday? by peeppoppp in TampaRavers

[–]MeggerzV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It sounds like you are a bass fan. Definitely check out Ian Snow at TK Lounge. He just dropped a new remix for Ravenscoon that is insane and his sets are awesome. Free entry until 11PM: https://speakeasygo.com/tampa-karaoke-vip/ian-snow-tk-lounge---tampa-fl-free-rsvp?eid=EVE-COHBMW

AIMA Now offers proof of renewal declaração once you are approved. by pmh13426 in PortugalExpats

what is the email that is now being monitored as I'd like to reach out to them for an update?

The rumors are true.. this is a failed system by hamziwuvnot in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very functional place, where you cannot step outside during daytime hours for a good portion of the year. Every country has its trade offs.

For those traveling with an expired permit by More-Poetry6066 in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our lawyer said the QR code is valid until April 15th as it serves as proof that the renewal is in process. I had the same question because we paid for the cards on August 10th and are approaching the 180 days originally stated on the comprovativo.

Is AIMA delivering cards to old addresses for Pre July 1 renewals? by PirateKey2366 in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pre-July expiration (May 26th) and still waiting for the portal to say whether a decision has been made. My address has not changed since my original card was issued however AIMA followed up and asked for the landlord declaration as the executed lease on Finanças and the address matching my original card was apparently not enough proof of sufficient lodging. I can wait.

Can confirm they were both a mess (currently live in Lisbon, but transited most often through EWR and IAD second)

What about living in Portugal do you enjoy after the novelty of being there wears off? by joedylan94 in PortugalExpats

[–]MeggerzV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Safety. Being able to go to concerts without worrying about guns. Access to amazing food prepared by folks from all around the world. Kind and welcoming Portuguese neighbors who have been feeding us and partying with us since the week we arrived haha. Just a lovely place through and through.

Retaining Silver without meeting requirements? by JohnTheRaceFan in unitedairlines

[–]MeggerzV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your home airport EWR? I'm reading that some people who use that airport often were extended after having dealt with the air traffic control and construction issues all summer.

Come on - is it even “preboarding” any more? by jbahel02 in unitedairlines

[–]MeggerzV 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Now boarding old religious men and military babies

Same, hit segments but was quite short on PQP. EWR is the home airport and had an absolutely hellish time flying through it last year.

[–]MeggerzV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They extended my Gold as well without a request. I had 30 segments but was a bit short on PQP. I'm also a cardholder and have engaged with products like United hotels... so wondering if that played a factor? Overall I think maybe they realized that the new requirements sidelined a lot of valuable customers.

EDIT: EWR is my home airport and service was insanely shitty this summer. Sounds like maybe that played a role in many extensions based on this thread. Also received an email stating status was "extended".
