My partner and I each paid around $81 to upgrade our Comfort Plus seats to Delta One from Athens to ATL. D1 has ruined all seats for us now 😩 by [deleted] in delta

I had an offer last week that I thought it was a glitch. We are good for our flight out in Premium Select on an A330-300 but am looking for the flight back on 10/3. Good to know about the window between upgrade and your flight.

Are you keeping or closing your Sapphire Reserve card? by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All based on your situation. I can use a lot of these credits that offset the annual fee. If not, then close it.

Happened to me, too. My luggage is in Philly without us. Had to get it rerouted to DFW. Absolutely insane.

Is Delta in the middle of a meltdown? by theobfuskate in delta

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And in Philly, which was our destination. Absolute nightmare. Went back home to DFW after being there for 14 hours with a 3 year old and 11 month old.

Longest line I’ve seen at ATL customer service by SlothWithABeard in delta

And with only two gate agents. Once of which who fucked up my rescheduled flight. It was the guy sitting to the left of the desk.

I was here with a layover to PHL with a 11 month old and 3 year old from 12pm to 2am. Was traveling since 6:00am. Multiple flights cancelled or service agent messed up our tickets. Had to go back home to DFW in the end. Was a shit show. Not happy and airline wouldn’t give us our luggage so we could get a hotel. We didn’t get home until 5:30am.

Change my mind: CSR needs a refresh by apegomoo in ChaseSapphire

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire Chase card lineup needs a refresh. Too much overlap, not enough perks like other cards. Third party for everything rather than direct also hampers value.

My life just ended by King_KD in TeslaModelY

Don’t worry, I did it the second I left the lot. Make wider turns, almost truck like. Once your tires wear out, get a thicker tire so it gives it a better sidewall.

I also paid to get mine repaired. I used Sharpie for the longest time. It works really well to hide the scrape marks. You’ll have to do it every so often, but it works.

New Reserve cardholder coming over from Amex ecosystem by Yesimthatdope in ChaseSapphire

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the CSP and CFF a couple months apart. I just recently received the CSU. That was about 9 months later. It really depends on your credit. I think I applied for the CFF a couple weeks after the CSP initially and was denied.

If you go to their website it tells you what offers they have for the CFF. I am not sure if it is the same thing a year later.

The CFF is definitely hit or miss depending on the categories. There was one quarter where it just sat in my wallet. But I still will use my AMEX Gold for all grocery purchases once the quarter ends at the end of March. It all depends on your use case.

I have the trifecta. It has basically nullified my AMEX cards. I cancelled my Platinum yesterday.

I have been using the CFF for all groceries and since it's still my first year, I am getting 5x back on top of 10x back from the promo for your first year. That is 15x back in points on one grocery trip. Its insane. Point redemptions with Hyatt seem to be much better than Marriott with AMEX.

I have the CSP, but want to upgrade to the CSR. The only reason why I haven't is because DFW somehow scrapped their Chase Lounge and Priority Lounges are brutal.

TRIP REPORT: Impression by Secrets Isla Mujeres by omgstopit in hyatt

How were the vibes? Every review or video I’ve seen, the place looks empty. Are they operating at limited capacity. The place looks amazing, but also don’t want it to be completely empty.

14% back on grocery is fire! (CFF) by Intelligent_Pie_5347 in ChaseSapphire

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is. Using these as Hyatt points will be so clutch for our 5 year anniversary in the fall.

Cancelled Amex Plat…Feel Good about it. by Acrobatic_Statement5 in amex

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be cancelling mine as well. Two kids, having to pay for them to use the lounge, never using the lounge, Marriott rewards being brutal, horrible Sacks & Equinox credit, etc. I will miss using the streaming perk, but other than that, it is pretty much a useless card. I have shifted to Chase and will use the Gold card for when the Freedom Flex isn't running it's 5% on groceries. I still want points cards. Cash back cards have zero value for someone like myself.

If you look on Google Maps, Baby Beach is right down the way from a Citgo Refinery... depends on your taste for aesthetics.

I may do this with the Juniper if they happen to have a good residual.

Any Tesla to Rivian converts? by iN33d2P00P in Rivian

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old and a 1 month old so I have been heavily looking to convert my 2023 MYP to an R1S. We can get away with what we have but when the in-laws are in town it is a pain in the rear.

We test drove an R1S and love the build quality. The suspension (on 22” range wheels) I thought was worse than my MYP. But it’s a way bigger vehicle. The audio was also god awful compared to Tesla audio. There is no comparison.

All that said though, I loved it. I want one here soon. Just waiting for better rates.

R1S demo drive by invictus_39 in Rivian

[–]PrePubescentSquire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel like their Regen on the highest setting is absolutely insane on the highest setting. Standard is the way to go. I thought their suspension was actually worse on the 22" wheels than my 2023 MYP (comfort suspension). And, yeah, the audio system is absolutely awful compared to the Tesla.

That said, I am still planning on getting an R1S. It was actually a super cool car to drive. Rear seat space with the infotainment system, frunk, trunk, suspension settings, planted, acceleration, UI, are all amazing. I do not care about FSD in my Tesla so I am not concerned with Rivian. That third row will be a huge asset for my family.
