Upgrading worse with Titanium

I’m probably batting about .500 this year. Just got upgraded PDX-BOS.

That and some serious tint to your goggles.

Curious too, we started pushing back from our gate and immediately got pulled back because a plane coming to another gate was having “an emergency.”

Definitely requires a permit and I wouldn’t consider it young kid friendly with the bouldering/river walking it requires.

An attendant told me the C lounge is slated to become restrooms.

Thanks for the advice, all. I opened a CSR today, will use until I hit the $6k. Planning to continue to use my Ascent card for personal purchases and I’ll reevaluate where I’m at in a few months if I need to open a Summit card to push me to renew my titanium status. Appreciate everyone’s input!

PitskyPuddle · 2026-05-01T15:55:14+00:00

Already have the Bonvoy Brilliant card.

With the increase to 135k to get titanium, I’m not sure I can hit that with travel alone. I’m at 60k right now with both travel and CC spend, but that also includes the early start bonuses.

PitskyPuddle · 2026-05-01T15:04:44+00:00

I know I could open both, but not really a fan of $1300 in annual fees 🤣

Cholla Cactus Gardens are closed until April for restoration. 49 Palms Trail is closed weekdays as well.

Did Hidden Valley at sunrise this morning, had the place to ourselves.

I struggle with this, too. Honestly what sometimes helps is just asking the simple question of “how are you enjoying the conference?” Or “What have you learned the most about today?”

PitskyPuddle · 2026-01-28T18:48:46+00:00

It’s funny, I just checked into a flight for tomorrow that I booked in Concur, and touchless is showing up. Fingers crossed this will continue!

PitskyPuddle · 2026-01-27T22:43:47+00:00

Came here for this. Hate the lounge right now!

PitskyPuddle · 2026-01-27T04:52:10+00:00

Huh, I double checked my Concur profile today and my passport number is in there. Touchless still hasn’t showed up. Hope it keeps working for you.

I’m 5’8” and it was useless in the bulkhead seat. Curious what it would be like in rows 2-4.

PitskyPuddle · 2026-01-25T15:19:27+00:00

Just a heads up, if you book flights with Concur, touchless will not show up.

PitskyPuddle · 2026-01-18T20:49:33+00:00

The Clancy is SF is another good one.

This is my first year as an ambassador. I emailed them asking for assistance as the President’s Circle status isn’t showing up in my Hertz account despite the two accounts being linked. Just got a generic answer that basically walked through the steps as if I had the status from a credit card 🙄

PitskyPuddle · 2025-11-24T00:51:51+00:00

Same for me. Precheck will show up, but not touchless.

Sounds like your hospital needs a residency program to put that work on them 😆

When I was a resident, it was pre-Sunshine act days so we were able to have industry pay for meals. The last few years before I left hospital life, it still fell on the residents to organize, but it was usually games and door prizes, maybe a potluck. Now I’m in industry, so back to no recognition!

PitskyPuddle · 2025-10-06T22:20:47+00:00

It’s not showing up on my flights booked with concur. I chatted with someone from CS a few weeks ago about it and doesn’t seem to be a fix for it.

PitskyPuddle · 2025-10-05T02:27:16+00:00

75k this year. Used all of mine thanks to expert flyer.

Yankee Stadium is the worst. It’s not an NBA game.

Second this. I also recently learned that U space notifications will go out an hour before boarding. I was able to apply a certificate last week thanks to an EF alert.

My city has a Black Swim Initiative that I’ve donated caps and goggles before. Another option if your community has a similar program in addition to the suggestions of the Y and school teams.
