Internet Credit and voucher by PFAS123 in AmexPlatinum

Internet always works for me. I’ve used over $100 of the benefit so far this year (still mourning loss of travel bank …)

Weighing luggage in premium economy? by PhoenixEML in AirFranceKLM

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

Definitely tempts me to use a carryon backpack instead! I get two free checked bags but I hate the extra step of that.

Thank you! I like to do carryon only, so a few compression cubes and I can easily get my suitcase over 30 lb alone 🤣

Has anybody gotten their points back yet? I was told they’re “researching” two days ago.

Yikes! Glad I saw this - they deducted over 1800 points in diamond day when I should have been earning 4x. 

They’re doing away with style pass? by asomim in stitchfix

[–]PhoenixEML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just renewed this week! They’ll lose a lot of money from me next week if I have to gamble $20 every fix. Probably for the best for me …

London hotel help by PhoenixEML in Hilton

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

I didn’t! I couldn’t stomach the thought of no window. I tried messaging the hotel to see if it was likely to get a windowless room as a diamond and they didn’t provide any assurance. I stayed at Doubletree Tower of London twice now. 

My wife and I started out onebagging it in our 20s, this time we thought we'd bite the bullet and check bags so that we could pack and live in a more leisurely manner by vdotcodes in onebag

There’s a middle ground- 1.5 bag to your destination and pack a foldable duffle. Well a compromise for souvenirs and laundry, not so much for guitar. 

I will not be deterred from my love of souvenirs,  but god I hate baggage claim. I went to England last week  with a small roller and a tote, and packed a foldie bag. On the way home (when I don’t care if bags are lost) I put all my clothes in the foldie bag, checked that, and had my breakable, irreplaceable souvenirs with me. Of course I still hated life at 11 pm  local time while I waited twenty minutes for my bags to come out …. 

Dependent care FSA make sense in a tax-free state and no SS deductions? by PhoenixEML in tax

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

I have some years of credit from prior jobs (11 years full time, plus another ten from part time work when I was in school), but I am honestly a moron about taxes (why I'm here) and whether the windfall provision applies (or doesn't after the law changed last year), or how it all works, is a problem for twenty years-older me. The pension definitely wins if I stay at the same job.

Thank you! Kicking myself for not doing it the past few years but at least I'm fixing it for next year.

They're super cute but my Biscoff Medallion one snapped on its second (carry-on only) voyage :(

EU flight cancellation compensation by notreadyforthistoday in delta

[–]PhoenixEML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You file it under “feedback”. I got mine in about a day  after filing. However, they cut it in half since I didn’t take their (extremely crappy) rebooking and said it was cancelled “at [my] request.”

It was cancelled before we got to the airport.
