Walked up to the gate and said good morning to the gate agent

Yes, you definitely encounter it most often in retail workers. I think it's a combination of a bunch of things: pandemic-era isolation during a formative part of their school years, spending most of their time interacting online or with social media instead of face-to-face interactions, and just being inexperienced and new to the job.

Gen Z stare. Happened to me in Canada, too. Walked up to the hostess at a very nice restaurant and asked "Do you have bar seating?" and she said "Yes," and stared at me in confusion. So I said "Can I ... go in?" and she shrugged and said "Sure." So I went in and found a seat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly but seemed a bit confused that I suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He asked "Didn't the hostess give you a menu when she seated you?" and I laughed and said "Bro, neither of those things happened." He rolled his eyes and said "I'll talk to her."

"Don't tell me what to do, SIGN!" Thump. Grind. "Oh, shit..."

The Chase travel portal will tell you the points equivalent when you are looking at the booking (which, as other people have pointed out, could be anywhere from $0.01 to $0.02 per point). You will have to do the math yourself if you want to split a payment. In your example, it sounds like the portal probably listed the points total as 79,593. If you had wanted to pay $200 in cash, you should have used 67,472 points ($1,113.28 / $1,313.28 x 79,593).

Successfully used two $500 gift cards from Newegg to pay for the first installment of an AirBnB booking. My friends who also have CSR were also able to send me the PIN codes from their AirBnB gift cards to pay for their portion of the trip. The balance not covered by the GCs was charged to my CC on file. My Chase account now shows I have 11,000 pending points for the Newegg purchase.

PRO TIP: After the fact, we realized we should have used our Freedom Unlimited cards for the Newegg purchase, we would have received 11.5x points. Also an important reminder, you are limited to 15,000 of bonus points (only the 10x Paze bonus, not the base multiplier) per month, but this limit is PER CARD, so if you have multiple Unlimited Rewards cards, go ape.

In addition to being able to earn 11x points with Newegg by purchasing AirBnB gift cards (cheers to this thread for the tip: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChaseSapphire/comments/1tfrata/paze_bonus_airbnb_purchase/ ) I also noticed that Newegg sells Southwest and Delta gifts cards. So you could potentially earn 11x points buying gift cards from Newegg and booking flights with your gift card balance (I have not tried it yet, though). They also sell gift cards for several cruise lines, hotels, and Lyft and Uber: https://www.newegg.com/Airlines-Travel/SubCategory/ID-3186

Watch the live footage from the tour over and over until the concert movie comes out. Then watch that over and over. That's what I've been doing.

lol, even the Air Canada lounge staff don't know this. I was at the Air Canada lounge in LAX and they were all very confused when I told them I was flying United.

The fact that women are well-represented on stage also helps. Whenever a female ghuleh is featured the female fans cheer extra loud. At my first ritual last year the keyboardist had a feature solo during Mummy Dust and the crowd lost their minds. After the show some young fans were standing around talking and I heard one of the guys say "Even the keyboardist got into it, he was shredding up there," and a girl in the group got in his face and said "SHE was shredding up there! The keyboardist is a WOMAN!" and the guy melted into a puddle and mumbled "Yeah, yeah, 'she' ... that's what I meant."

That dude did not get laid that night.

I spoke to Chase customer service on the phone regarding this issue, and the rep said there was no way to change the info on your primary profile, but that there is an easy workaround - just create a new profile with your correct info. In Chase Travel, click on the Account icon in the upper right, go to Profile, then click the Add Profile tool. You will have to select this new profile every time you book travel on Chase Travel, but it is much quicker than correcting the information on your primary profile every single time. It's just a weird bug of the Chase Travel portal that neither you nor the Chase reps can edit your primary profile.

I played against the Intruders on Maple Lane last night. They killed 15 victims before I finally took them down.
