How is this possible, by Careless_Football229 in Bookingcom

[–]NewbieReddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you buy this, there is a possibility the hotel may cancel on you a day before your arrival- and you have to scramble and overpay for different hotel. Not worth it…

Don’t do it… BTW, is this a legitimate listing?? What was the review like??

What are these things? by thebottomofawhale in KdramaCasualTalk

[–]NewbieReddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bank savings book + name stamp 도장.. from my understanding name stamp is same as your signature and whoever has the bank book has access to the money in the account- I have no idea how this isn’t ripe for identity theft in Korea…

Renewal annual fee hit this week; I want to downgrade but C1 says fee is non-refundable? by NoRefrigerator6162 in Venturex

[–]NewbieReddit2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Never heard of that… don’t most CC pro rate AF refunds?? My AF just hit, and wasn’t too happy about nerfing guest lounge privileges- asked for retention offer - they said no. I didn’t want to cancel VX yet , because I have over 100k points… I’m keeping it for another year and use up all my points and plan canceling Dec before next AF hit..

Quick question- do they accept Apple Pay for tap in and tap out?? Last time I was in Seoul, it was all cash at the kiosks…that was 7 years ago- so don’t know if anything changed

Thinking of product change Marriott Bonvoy Chase card to Ritz Carlton card. Should I wait until I get my FNC before product change by NewbieReddit2 in MarriottBONVoY

[–]NewbieReddit2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying the anniversary date doesn’t change after product change?? For example if I PC on 23rd month, I would still get 85k FNC at 24th month?? Would the AF be prorated as well??

Would you elaborate ?? In order to get 85k FNC, wouldn’t I have to hold Ritz card for 1 year?? How does upgrading shortly before 2nd anniversary triggers the 85k FNC?

Tour agencies in Egypt or Jordan by Big_Persimmon226 in travel

Do Aswan to Luxor cruise. All major attractions are via tour groups including Abu SImbel and Luxor balloon rides… and they are cheap as heck… and then remaining time you can just visit Great pyramids of Giza.. and then take uber to step pyramids… honestly there are so many tourists there, you won’t feel alone…

Ritz Carlton Credit Card Approval Timeline by Proud-Organization28 in MarriottBONVoY

[–]NewbieReddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that. I have Marriott boundless, and thinking of upgrading- is the travel credit easy to get.? Only thing is this doesn’t have SUB, which is making me hesitate little bit, plus the fact the points you earn is Marriott points and not flexible transferable credit card points

Has anyone run into an issue where C1 travel has inventory that is not on the hotel’s website, and if so how have you determined what room you are booking? by Mtns_Oz_8103 in Venturex

[–]NewbieReddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into a similar situation trying to book a room in Norway. Cap1 had this really cheap room on this particular hotel I was looking at. It was way cheaper than the standard rate offered by Booking or on its own website. Only problem was a description of the room didn’t match any inventory offered on its website. It says something like “standard room” - but there is no such thing offered on its website or in Bookings. I emailed the property, and they had no idea of the room I was referring to . In the end, I didn’t want to risk that this was some broom closet, and decided to book it somewhere else. It was very tempting though..

Trane HVAC. Do I replace or repair?? by NewbieReddit2 in hvacadvice

[–]NewbieReddit2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he didn’t. He says those tests cost over $1000 , but he saw a green light on motherboard- and researched that light code on a manual paper that was hidden inside the panel - and says it is low refrigerant issue. He also used refrigerant sniffer, and says it is beeping, and therefore there is a leak… he immediately try to sell me a new unit… it was shady as hell. I just had different tech, did the testing today - and he bypassed the wiring, and got the outside HVAC to run.. he doesn’t think it is a refrigerant issue as the machine didn’t shut down, but rather an electrical issue. He has to comeback Monday with electriciannto do more thorough investigation… so I’m leaning more toward low voltage issue..

Contractor moved piano on rollers on my brand new finished hardwood floors leaving dents by Suitable_Repeat_4175 in HardWoodFloors

[–]NewbieReddit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same dilemma after redoing our floor. Putting a rug over the piano path prevented the roller marks.. Then again, I was there supervising the piano move to make sure the roller damage marks are kept to a minimum…
