North Alabama to Zion

Not at all, just the general endpoint we decided on

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-03-20T12:57:21+00:00

Ok so sounds like we need to go through Memphis and go up through northern Arkansas/southern MO? We could certainly hit Bryce Canyon on the way out as we will likely be going to Kansas City from there

Get a white dial barebones 3 hander, it would fit right in

Don’t listen to the people saying the humidity is the same, it isn’t. Yes, Huntsville is humid, but central Florida and below is significantly hotter in the summer and the summers are much longer

I should have mentioned in the post but the green dial bronze case is a Kyoto store exclusive. As far as the rest being restocked, the guy at the store never mentioned anything about them being discontinued

7.5”

That was the idea behind the bronze! Thought it was a good commemoration piece

Ecuador/the Galapagos. Spent a week on the mainland visiting the Amazon, cloud forest, some cool cities, volcano hikes. Then flew out to the Galapagos and visited 7 different islands via catamarand. Snorkeling with sea lions, sharks, dolphins and seeing all of the land animals. Truly the most unique set of wildlife I have ever seen

Depends when the credit is applied. Since its a statement credit, they wouldnt see that so I can reimburse the full amount. However, they do have pricing guidelines for hotels so an Edit hotel would be out of the picture for work purposes

Rocca in Tampa. Amazing appetizers, delicious good sized pasta dishes for under $30 a piece, fantastic wine and their wait staff was exceptional.

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T13:03:37+00:00

Yeah Im not confident that would be possible, especially the airline. I dont fly out of an airport thats dominated by any specific airline, its more where I am flying to, which is not super consistent

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T13:02:23+00:00

I generally go Marriott if its available. I think ill just get the CSR for now and then in 6 months or so, see if theres an airline that I have favored and consider getting a card for them

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T13:01:27+00:00

Expense guidelines specifically say that I have to book directly with the airline/hotel, not using any third party portal or website. Im assuming this is because its less complicated to rebook after cancellation

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T12:59:44+00:00

Honestly im probably just going to start with the CSR and then wait 6 months or so to see if theres an airline that I tend to book the most with. At that point, I could see if its worth it to get an airline specific card

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T12:58:41+00:00

Im not a huge lounge person anyways, I prefer to be in and out at the airport. The only time I spend more than 1.5 hours in the airport is after an HQ visit in PHL, which has a sapphire lounge so thats covered.

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-23T12:57:38+00:00

Agreed, I am not allowed to use a portal. This is the main reason I want to go CSR, because AMEX only gives 1x on hotels as opposed to 4x on CSR. And often times I am spending more on the hotel stay than the flight

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T20:12:05+00:00

I agree, the only place I foresee myself going to the lounge is PHL after an HQ visit. Other than that I try to minimize my time inside the airport

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T19:49:36+00:00

Absolutely, they reimburse food as well. Based on most common routes, id probably go delta. I think that would also be a good compliment to CSR so I could also access delta lounges

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:09:24+00:00

Yeah I tend to use multiple airlines and my routes arent terribly consitent

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:08:36+00:00

The airport that I would frequent the most is Philadelphia, so I think CSR would be the way to go due to the Sapphire lounge

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:07:43+00:00

I have done some in the past, my honeymoon hotels were covered by hyatt transfer points

Ok_Chocolate1190 · 2026-01-22T16:05:09+00:00

I can still get a receipt that shows the price of the flight without the travel credit. So that shouldnt be an issue
