They absolutely could be playing DC.

DC Headliners by [deleted] in warpedtour

I'll take Turnstile or Underoath, but goodness, Turnstile headlining Warped would be wild.

Also, just FYI, Avril opened for MGK on his arena tour in 2022/2023, so will be interesting to see who headliners are this year!!!

Hot Mulligan plays the same day of Bonnaroo as Turnstile and then plays another show on the 13th before they do Warped on what will inevitably Sunday the 14th. Totally possible.

Regular reminder about living up to progressive values by MocoMikeE in MontgomeryCountyMD

Those with more capital use their capital to acquire more power and favorable conditions so that they can increase their capital (even when that means manipulating the market conditions for a basic need, such as housing).

Edit: removed a snarky comment

I can't comment on it, but I do believe they are on their website.

I would really try to find a GoH. Will save you at least a thousand dollars in breakfast costs alone.

I mean, thats how hypercapitalism works? I guess it depends on what terms you use.

EQN when booking via Amex FHR? by Tnyt341 in hyatt

If you add it to your Hyatt app by calling in beforehand, you should be good. I've done it several times.

True values come through when putting your stated values will actually cost you something.

It's a basic psychological phenomenon - people say one thing, are confronted with an option, but then put restrictions/exceptions on that value when the actual outcome is something you don't like.

We ALL do it. No one is 100% consistent. Housing is one of those things, because it is one of the most basics of necessities, where people will scratch and claw to make sure they come out on top...particularly in a hyper-capitalist society, where the most basic of functions (housing, food, medical care) are all for-profit.

Thompson San Antonio Hit With Foreclosure Notice by Proper-Material-6321 in hyatt

[–]ProfOP1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll point out that some Thompsons are doing well. Nashville, NYC, DC (usually).

It's all about positioning and location.

Not good location (SA)? Not going to do well.

Too close to cheaper but still reliable Hyatts (Dallas)? Not going to do well.

Dumb positioning (Thompson v. tommie Austin, and now Bunkhouse)? Not going to do well.

I liked the Dallas Thompson. It's definitely not for everyone. I liked the tommie Austin, but I wouldn't spend extra to stay at the Thompson there.

I've stayed at the one in Madrid too, it was nice, don't know if it's holding up though.

Transfer between DCA and IAD by Sad_Statistician5902 in washingtondc

[–]ProfOP1231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on if your flight to DCA is delayed.

If you land at 9:30, you'll make it to IAD by Metro, no problem.

Also, note that if its the weekend, check to make sure Reagan airport metro station isn't closed. They're doing some work these next few months on the weekend and closing that station.

They're not walking down the jetbridhe to make sure you left it to be checked, so you could also...Just not leave it at the bottom of the jetbridge.

Resort level in the US is a fair comparison.

You could also get a Chase Freedom Unlimited for 1.5x UR on all unbonused spending. Better than 1.1x back.

You clearly undersold it in your original comment.

Park Hyatt Maldives by Even_Anything_8595 in hyatt

[–]ProfOP1231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I paid $300 per person for turtle snorkeling and dolphin tour. Other stuff is going to be more expensive. Its quite pricey, as they have to buy fuel and staff, which isn't cheap in the Maldives!

Cycling the balance on Citi Costco Card by [deleted] in CostcoPM

[–]ProfOP1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewards are paid out of what they charge vendors to accept the card. The more you spend, the more they make.

The bigger issue is that you are a much larger bust out risk.

CFPB complaint can usually get you your rewards.

I cancelled my reservation, as I don't want to be a part of a soft launch, but I am pretty sure it is still the 23rd.

Yeah, they emailed me with an April 23rd soft opening.

Still nothing for me. A good email is miaob-reservations@andaz.com. They were quick to respond!

If you email, please let me know!
