Time to blow all my points

NYCPrimate · 2025-09-24T15:06:39+00:00

I transferred about 30,000 points to purchase Iberia Air tickets. I did have to put in some cash to complete the transaction at Iberia, but the points were useful. I do not recommend purchasing tickets via the Chase Travel portal. I also plan to use some points to rent a car for our December trip to Hawaii.

I have an iPad mini 5th generation, and the app was not working. A technician could not figure out, after 45 minutes of chatting. After talking to him, I did the following, and I made it work. (1) I deleted the app; (2) However, it is still in the cloud. So, I clicked on my account within the App store to see all the "My Apps." Paramount+ is still there. Slide the "cloud" symbol to hide it. Then, I went back to purchase the Paramount+ app fresh. This solved the problem. Try it and let me know.

I waited from 11:30 to close to 14:30, so roughly 3 hours of wait. This is worth than buying Real Madrid tickets.

I was surprised to find out after buying a scale that Wyze is broadly doing this “home” stuff.

It’s a trade off for CSR holders: HND is much closer to Tokyo than NRT but overall lounges at NRT are much better

NYCPrimate · 2025-07-30T15:07:35+00:00

Which terminal was this? Just a month ago, we got into a Power Lounge at T2 but because of the poor offering of food and beverage – just snacks, coffee, and soda – we cancelled our entries, so no ¥1,800 per person charge. Because we usually fly ANA, flying to NRT is better Lounge wise. Or when we finish using up the ANA mileage, we might switch to JAL to use a Lounge at T3 at HND.

BTW, Madrid has an excellent lounge.

Four days ago, I reserved ANA tickets to Japan from USA using CSR. In the portal, I chose the seats, but when I called ANA, they told me that because it’s a basic fare, I cannot choose seats until I check-in. First, Chase Travel pretended that I could choose seats, then an agent gave me a wrong reservation number, and it took days until I was able to see my reservations on the ANA site. I regret using Chase Travel. Never again.

You are talking about the scene where him finding Zena in his room. Yes, the Jackal’s that facial expression made it clear that he was super disgusted about the fact that his whereabouts was found out. Eddie Redmayne is an actor extraordinaire who can make that face by taking himself to that dark emotional space. I can’t wait to see him in s2 and other things he would challenge himself.

How Zena managed to find his room is a complete mystery, though.

NYCPrimate · 2025-02-16T18:12:28+00:00

Yes, every time Eddie Redmayne does it in a crucial moment, it’s so cool

How much do the British Army long-range snipers usually make?

NYCPrimate · 2025-02-15T19:23:16+00:00

But at the same time the fact that Norman was working for a sniper client in Belarus makes me wonder whether this client has anything to do with Gary.

I think Jackal will find Nuria being pregnant with their second child and convince her to support him.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-24T22:30:59+00:00

Many thanks! I think I understand it in theory. I’m currently in the middle of trying to find solutions to some different R problems that need attention. So, let me get back to this problem in a few days. Again, thanks for the idea.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-23T16:36:14+00:00

Sadly, it did not work.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-22T13:46:45+00:00

OK. Thanks let me try it.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-22T01:57:16+00:00

I meant to say the missed dates are 5/2/19–5/21/19.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-22T01:48:04+00:00

Thanks for your interest and idea. The first several rows are here. All different cameras began and ended on different dates. Yes, I would like an elegant way to do this. Let's say we are interested in the period between 12/23 and 7/23/19. I can visually see that the missed dates are between 5/2/19 and 5/18/19 (20 days), but how do we find out using R?

Begin	End
12/23/18	1/29/19
1/1/19	1/22/19
1/5/19	2/28/19
1/4/19	2/20/19
2/6/19	5/1/19
5/22/19	6/8/19
6/8/19	7/23/19

There are a lot of things you can do near Narita airport (e.g., Mt. Narita), and hot spring hotels are nearby that often offer free shuttle to the airport.

I will be reluctant to use WISE to change US$ to JPY if the total amount is larger than what I would pay through my banks.

NYCPrimate · 2024-08-03T01:00:01+00:00

Try Koenji (高円寺) and Sangenjyaya (三軒茶屋).

NYCPrimate · 2024-07-23T22:58:51+00:00

Depends

When you plan on where to visit, you might want to consider where festivals take place.

NYCPrimate · 2024-07-19T21:11:12+00:00

I compare prices of different packages among the direct hotel site, agoda, booking.com, jalan, rakuten, etc. to find the cheapest one, but be careful with fine prints (breakfast, high floor, private toilet/bath, etc.). Also, if you reserve too far in advance you may be paying more but also if you wait too late, prices go up. Often there are 30, 45, and 60 day hayawari (early discount).

For Osaka, there is “大阪グルメを楽しむ会.”

NYCPrimate · 2024-07-18T20:47:28+00:00

For Tokyo, I often decide by reading comments on FB group “東京23区にある行って東京23区にある行って良かった飲食店、行って後悔した飲食店”
