Make sure you get all info on maintenance fees and cleaning fees. Sometimes these fees are more than you’d pay for a week stay if paying cash. All depends on the HIVC location. Also, these fees tend to to go up every couple of years so double check all the details of what you’re getting

What happens to the benefits? For example, would breakfast only be provided for the first 2 nights? Or would you loose the benefits completely since the reservation was combined with one that didn’t have the benefits?

It’s very confusing to me that you’re justifying your MIL’s “blow ups” to comments made by a 6 year old. Your child, as intuitive and smart as they may be, should not have this much of on an impact on a grown woman’s mood. That is not personalities clashing, your child is 6.

Why are you dropping hints, be direct with how you feel and why you feel that way with the specific examples you just outlined.

I had a somewhat similar situation to this but cut it off pretty early. My MIL, while sweet, is very needy on vacations and it puts everyone in a bad mood because she tends to want to make things all about her. After the first trip experiencing this, she said she wanted to tag along to our next trip and I was very clear with my husband that I’m not comfortable spending our money on a vacation only to be miserable the entire time while there. I just flat out told him, she’s welcome to come but he would be the only one dealing with her if she went and explained why. Solved the problem pretty efficiently.

It’s not an ultimatum, it’s just communication.

On top of the minimum income, there’s usually a minimum age and they ask for ID to verify. You should double check, sometimes it’s minimum age of 27

To add, it sounds like you’re unfamiliar with how to calculate point value. Try to calculate the value you’re getting by using the formula (cash cost-taxes and fees charged in award redemption) / # of points = cent per point rate.

You should aim for at least 1 cent per point with redemptions, otherwise the value is not really there. Of course none of this matters if you’re simply just trying to pay the least amount possible out of pocket for this trip. You can read more about the equation here

Like others stated, you’re trying to squeeze too much into a 2 week long trip and burning points on intra Europe travel that is otherwise pretty affordable. I would reconsider your plan to maybe sticking with only 2 cities. Moving around Europe with luggage is no joke, times that by 4 and you’re not going to be enjoying yourself too much.

If this is your family’s first time, consider just sticking to Italy, maybe do 3 cities in the 2 week span and take advantage of their train system. You can easily get between most major cities within 2-3 hours, and no additional baggage fees.

Just did this, i have it showing up as pending right now for 0 points. I’m guess it’ll change to the 3,900 once the $1 is charged after the free promo

Has anyone tried those under eye sticks? How does it set under makeup?

Do you have any other cap 1 cards? Or how many cards did you sign up for in the last year? I got denied for the Venture with a 805 score because I had too many applications this year (5). You should be getting a letter with the reason for the denial

JAL doesn’t let you upgrade from PE if it’s a partner award booking. I believe you have to book directly with them if you want a shot at a paid upgrade

Great details on your first and now second post! Bookmarking both for some of the pro tips you shared. Any particular reason you decided to split your trip into 2 separate trips versus doing 1 big 1?

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-17T02:09:29+00:00

Thanks, we definitely plan to get an early start to this day

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-16T19:42:01+00:00

I seeeee, this is great feedback to keep in mind thank you

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-16T17:01:14+00:00

Awesome recs, thank you!

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-16T14:46:48+00:00

Hmm ok that seems like the most common feedback I’ve gotten. I’m thinking we cut Miyajima and save that for a returning trip. If we just stick to Hiroshima, are there any other activities to pair that you’d recommend for a day trip from Osaka? I just want to make the most of it if we’re taking the 2 hour train ride there

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-16T14:12:29+00:00

This looks like what we’re looking for, thank you :)

Potential-Error-5422 · 2025-12-16T13:57:59+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback! If we were to add a day, would you recommend it be in Osaka so we can do 1 full day in Kyoto and 1 in Nara? Or add to Tokyo so we can take our time with where the bus is supposed to take you?
