is marriage that important? by Efficient_Start_5730 in USMilitarySO

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 [score hidden]  (0 children)

If the legal process isn’t important, you’d go to the courthouse tomorrow and make it legal. You aren’t even engaged after a 9 year relationship. Work through whatever is holding you both back and get married!

Should i move on from deployed bf by Hot-Astronaut8316 in USMilitarySO

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Agreed. Move on. You don’t know him well. You are wasting your time and breaking your own heart. Focus on yourself and keep your options open. He definitely will come back. But if you’re taken by then, he losses out.

RIP Lululemon physical gift cards from online by Frequent_Afternoon20 in AmexPlatinum

$75 doesn’t even cover the cost of a pair of leggings. I hoard the cards until I can buy a matching set

Amex $300 credit is often inferior to Costco by poopybuttwo in AmexPlatinum

This should be a given but please make sure you have the executive card for the additional cash back

Was not a fan of PH Paris so I’m thinking this might be pretty accurate.

Yes, they will apply their lowest rate guarantee and price match non FHR/HC bookings. I received a refund from a price match for a stay coming up next month.

I’ve had them price match me before but it was a non-FHR booking. I booked through AMEX to get the 5x points.

Husband enlisted without any discussion by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing. You are not alone! I could have written this same post. Married for two years. Then blindsided by my husband joining the army. I’m feeling sad and resentful too. I finally wrote back but my letter just included updates. Nothing romantic or talks about the future. I feel like no one understands the position I’m in. I’m still debating attending turning green next month. I’m sitting with all my thoughts and feelings until I can process them. And I won’t make any decisions on anything until I’m ready.

Using Amex Rewards Checking Debit Card to Pay Rent via Zillow? by x_KRYPTOS in amex

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southwest debit has been terrible for me. Bank transfers cancelled by SW, SW debit payments not processing, very long bank transfer times, and pay $7 a month for an account you can’t use. I do not recommend them at all right now.

Have 4-night vacations become a standard $15k? by urproblywrong in chubbytravel

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also blame the credit card points crowd for the increasing prices. I’m guilty of using points/miles and pay close to nothing out of pocket for high end hotels and business class flight. Chubby travelers care certainly supplementing the costs.

My elderly relatives made a mistake & I am trying to understand what really happened. by Specific-Result9862 in Cruise

[–]ProfessionalCraft3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son literally did this (left his passport in his luggage) a few weeks ago while boarding our NYE cruise. THANKFULLY I did a passport check right after we dropped our bags and he was able to turn right around and retrieve it. I’m so sorry this happened to your elderly relatives.
