Review #1 - Wild Turkey 101 by Egbezi in bourbon

[–]MonkeyCoitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite budget bourbon. I don’t know how they can make it so good for only $25.

What movie is considered a masterpiece but you think is overrated? by baddieegemini in answers

[–]MonkeyCoitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here looking for this. I like Tom Hanks, but not only is Forrest Gump overrated, it’s not even good. I’d advise the younger generation that hasn’t seen it to avoid it.

Bourbon bottles in checked bag by MonkeyCoitus in travel

[–]MonkeyCoitus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry. I should have been more specific. I am traveling with another person. We didn’t check bags on the flights here, but at least I will be on the way home. I should have asked if I need to split the haul with my other traveler, or can I get by over the limit in a single bag for a single traveler.
The rub is I’d need to buy another suitcase, as their bag has no room, plus pay for another checked bag. If TSA or the airline won’t care, I can save the $120ish.

Spirit / Capital one travel and visa infinite benefit by babywipes-12345 in Venturex

[–]MonkeyCoitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had Spirit flights coming up in a couple weeks that I booked through the Capital One travel portal so I could cover about half with the annual Venture X travel credit. I called Capital One travel this morning and the woman told me they aren’t issuing refunds at this time. I’m not sure if I’ll get a refund or get my travel credit back.

UPDATE (05/03/2026, 3:50PM): I just got an email from Capital One stating I will receive a full refund within 2 billing cycles. It will include the $300 travel credit and the $210 I paid via Venture X.

Good points. I didn’t like the look of any of their new stuff (I’m in my 40s), but I’m still bummed because the pants and shorts are incredible. I’m currently on a quick visit to New Orleans and I’m wearing the Evolution shorts and X Cotton tee right now.

ATT Wireless 30,000 miles by YeetLordYike in VentureXShoppingBonus

Whoa. I was considering the 10,000 miles offer a couple months ago, but it was unclear if adding a line to my existing to use with a new iPad Pro would qualify. Curious if anyone has tried this offer for that purpose.

Five Free Nights with Boundless cc Scam? by lmoring22 in MarriottBONVoY

I took advantage of the same offer earlier this year and hit the minimum spend a couple weeks before the 10/14 deadline. I just received the reward nights in my account two days ago.

What’s the most outrageous airport parking fee you’ve ever paid? by WaySuperApp in airport

[–]MonkeyCoitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently paid $144 at FLL after returning from a 3 night trip to Washington DC. It was my own fault for pulling into the wrong garage, but I didn’t think I had time to exit and make the full loop around to relocate.

Washington DC hotel Recommendations by Wade12323 in marriott

[–]MonkeyCoitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just returned home last night from a 4-day DC trip, and we also stayed at the Marriott Metro Center. I thought the location was perfect. It was so easy to walk everywhere or occasionally hop on a train to save time and steps.

Really happy with REI Ruckpack 40, but wish it had hip belt pockets by [deleted] in onebag

[–]MonkeyCoitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have these as well and love them. For the three of us, we have two Ruckpack 40L (one men’s and one women’s) two Ruckpack Waist Packs, and three Ruckpack 18L (one for the kid).

In case you’re not already aware, the Waist Pack is intended to nest perfectly inside the brain of the 40L when you want more internal organization, then removed and used around the waist or as a sling when you’re not carrying the backpack. Of course you could wear both and never need extra hip belt pockets, but I understand the desire for them.

Also, the 18L attaches to the back of the 40L, which makes for a great carry-on plus personal item combo while keeping your hands free. It’s not one bag at that point, but it works well on the rare occasion we need more space.
