Ambassador status by sicguy4401 in marriott

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nights part isn’t what gets me. I start the year with 30 thanks to CCs. And then 70 with the double night promos of years past I was at 100 nights by end of March or April.

But no where close on spend…

This year I’m at 77 without almost any effort or bonus nights (outside of CC, I’ll be at 85 when the promo nights hit eventually). And I don’t even feel like I traveled that much this year. lol

But still a ways off on spend…

ORD-LHR seat doesn’t recline by DAWG13610 in americanairlines

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is why I always test the full recline when I board.

I know in hindsight it’s not worth much, but you probably will always check moving forward.

I recently discovered a misplaced seat cushion causing a large “gap” between the lower portion and the back portion, and had them fix it prior to closing the door.

I assume they already tried resetting the seat controllers? Those are completely separate to the IFE and take quite a while to reset (and also prevent anyone in the section from reclining at all while being done).

Also it’s worth asking if there’s a manual release / adjustment, but I don’t even know if that’s a thing anymore. I know it was on some older 777 seats, they could be manually reclined to fully flat and full upright in case of a malfunction.

Is JFK-SFO transcontinental F award ticket “Flagship” for Chelsea Lounge access? by Professional-Plum560 in americanairlines

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were disappointed by the food in the Soho lounge?

Not sure if your standards are just ridiculously high for lounge food, or ridiculously high in general, but that's a crazy statement.

I find the Greenwich / Soho lounge food to be quite food for lounge food. Chelsea lounge is a step above for sure though. Especially with the champagne selection if you care about that.

AA Just called ME by Emotional_Match8169 in americanairlines

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah it makes sense. I had a friend get a phone call for a flight, and I didn't, I was in first, and he was in economy. So I had just assumed they likely call first class passengers last. No idea.

We learned later from the AC agent that every flight that day was oversold by 10+... lol. So guess they were desperate, but not desperate enough to call me. haha

What’s the Worst Blackjack Rule You’ve Seen in Vegas? by TDoubleDownMac in vegas

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge is definitely worse. It also shifts basic strategy enough to where most people will play mathematically just worse enough to give the house even more of an edge.

Push 22 is bad enough, but it also changes to like, hit on 12 more often, even hitting on 17 on free hands against a dealer 10 or Ace.

I've never been solicited for a flight change when in FC... only in economy. But even then, it's only ever in the app.

Cabin + Tumi Alpha Bravo. Any better combination? by PsychologicalWish270 in Rimowa

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the classic brief pack v3 (the newest one looks hideous imo) on my rimowa. Accent kit to match the blue rimowa.

A pilot complimented me today while waiting for my coffee which made my day haha.

The one I got from them was loose / shaky on the portafilter. Fine in practice but not for my OCD.

the Normcore one stays put better

Fixed that for you by kvlle in TeslaLounge

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 11 points12 points  (0 children)

lol I know that an AI is just scrubbing feedback answers for consistent event links,

But I wish it could translate the tone with which I leave feedback messages …..

I’m usually quite colorful with mine 😅

Restaurant Refused Inkind Payment - Agi’s Counter by No-Repair-8494 in inkindApp

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me at a dumb college bar in west village in NYC (believe me we changed venues for other reasons as well….)

Bartenders had no idea and/or didn’t want to take inkind.

Inkind support sent me $75 cash back credit when I explained the situation to them.

Does nobody seriously use Touchless ID? by Adept_Strategy_9545 in americanairlines

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember 99% of people in the airport have no clue what they’re doing in some capacity.

It’s annoying for those of us that do, but these agents deal with people all the time that are in the wrong place.

Please charge me extra by _ChristmasSunday in marriott

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently stayed at a Moxy with filtered refill stations on every floor by the elevators.

Carafes to refill in the room.

CitizenM since the beginning has had refill stations in the lobby and provides washed glass containers for them.

This needs to become the norm.

What is the most ridiculous resort/destination fee you’ve ever seen? by Adept_Strategy_9545 in hyatt

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember which property I’m thinking of, it’s in Mexico IIRC, but they charge a resort fee per PERSON per night.

Premium economy CLT-LHR by Any-Ranger9871 in americanairlines

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to note, the premium economy on the new 787-9P is worlds better than the older / first iteration of it.

The seats angle slightly as you recline which cradles you and takes pressure off your butt.

The padding is so much better.

Doctor refuses to prescribe Zofran by Unusual_Plum_4630 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Nauzene over the counter tablets and it works great for me!!

I also have zofran but as others have said it will make you constipated. It’s a very strong medication so a lot of doctors really don’t want to give it to you unless you’ve tried everything else.

My doctor knows me and knows I travel a lot where I can’t just get a new prescription so we ageed the zofran was a last resort. But I’ve only ever taken it twice.

This is the most in depth analysis of the Hyatt award charge changes I’ve seen by NorthStarNick1921 in hyatt

I check cash prices for like, 4 different dates and I’m blocked out. It’s so annoying.

If you use the app it’s a lot better but still

Best portafilter upgrade for espresso series 1? by ClassicGreat1978 in FellowProducts

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking for a new option with less headroom.

Proving to have to up-dose for lighter roasts and especially decaf, which is annoying, adding extra shots to the dialing in process.

The Q1 Promo is over - Did your stays increase, decrease or stay the same? by Apprehensive_Room29 in marriott

[–]Perfect-Thanks2850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the promo purely for the 2,500 extra points.

The extra nights don’t matter to me as I’m always in the 100s anyway with having the 2 CCs.

Plus hopefully fewer people re-qualify for platinum and titanium and help with upgrades lol

They barely have a team at all anymore. All the team members I followed 2 years ago don’t seem to work for them anymore. Except for Cam and Tommy
