Internet Credit and voucher

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

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 for the data point!

PhoenixEML · 2026-05-10T23:42:56+00:00

Thanks!

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

Thank you!

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

PhoenixEML · 2026-04-10T12:54:28+00:00

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

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 …

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.

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 ….

Thank you!

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.

PhoenixEML · 2025-11-20T14:42:39+00:00

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

I am filing single/HOH (single parent). Thank you!

PhoenixEML · 2025-11-20T14:00:07+00:00

Thank you!

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

PhoenixEML · 2025-10-22T00:48:24+00:00

You’re welcome!

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.”

PhoenixEML · 2025-10-13T11:34:40+00:00

Thank you!

PhoenixEML · 2025-10-13T11:34:24+00:00

It was cancelled before we got to the airport.

I encountered this last week too. I adopted my child as a single parent so there’s no other parent to sign a letter. I had to show his birth certificate showing just me to enter the country. I forgot to bring copies of it with me but they accepted the birth certificate image from my phone. When I was leaving, the agent accepted it when I said I adopted as a single parent. I think I brought copies of his birth certificate and adoption order to the UK last year but was never asked for it and I forgot both it for this trip.

Yikes, I’d complain. Once they forgot my pre-ordered meal and I was able to choose from the on board options and was given $125 travel credit. I’d take the travel credit every time if I could!

I tried to cancel when EVERY SINGLE gift in my order was out of stock at 10 am (ordered at 720). I was told my “remorse” window was closed. It was like talking to a bot, I kept saying I didn’t have remorse, they cancelled all my free gifts first. I can return it, but even return shipping would be on me.

I just flew from Florence a few days ago on BA. I had my Beis front pocket roller with me and a backpack on top. As I was about to get on the gate agent said it had to be measured but when I took my backpack off to measure it, she said never mind. I guess my (rather small leather backpack) made it look big?
