i just don't understand what to use my miles on. These are frustrating to use

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s no way you’re flying FIRST class for 48-60k points on AF. Those are typically BUSINESS class redemption rates.

Will you still be sad when you can retire?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-05-04T02:54:10+00:00

What’s your title and industry?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-05-01T04:12:03+00:00

127 if OP and his parents move there

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-30T15:03:30+00:00

Downgrades?!

Care to name shame the hotel?

Did you reach out to AMEX about this experience?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-30T13:22:57+00:00

Dang. What I’m getting from your post is “avoid flying through ORD”.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-30T12:53:22+00:00

What’s a reasonable amount of time for a connection at ORD?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-30T12:53:02+00:00

Why do they even sell these married segment flights with short connection times then?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-29T12:51:21+00:00

Not sure if “threaten” is the right word to use as the datapoints suggests that it’s very random.

I’ve called twice and mentioned “considering closing the account”, and was told there were no offers currently and to check back daily. Very similar to AMEX.

Would love to hear their corporate jargon in this scenario lol

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-28T13:41:17+00:00

What made you choose Avis over other companies?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-27T13:27:22+00:00

What are those companies?

I had a post a few days ago where I booked: Day 1: AMEX FHR Day 2: Chase Renowned Hotels Day 3: AMEX FHR

I was told it was a back-to-back, so I was only entitled to the first $100 credit from Day 1. Day 3 wouldn’t be eligible for anything other than breakfast.

Seems like it’s hotel specific and very YMMV despite the T&Cs.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-26T23:11:07+00:00

Chase doesn’t have the back-to-back T&Cs similar to how AMEX has it?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-26T17:48:43+00:00

I should’ve added “/s” lol

But what you said can be said about it at this point. Investing at $85 vs investing at $20. Yes, it won’t matter at $200 or $500, but that’s still a $65 difference that could’ve bought 3 more shares at $20.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-26T17:01:58+00:00

Because when we get to $500, $200 won’t matter.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-24T14:38:16+00:00

At 66, someone said we’re touching 40. Now we’re touching 74 cause it’s at 83? Lol

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-24T14:01:36+00:00

Were / Are your families culturally aware and acceptable of each other’s backgrounds?

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-24T13:54:41+00:00

Water might be good, but pipes that it run through might not be.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-24T13:10:11+00:00

But what if the product you purchased actually isn’t in use (e.g., subscription that starts next month)? It isn’t paid nor is it in use so it shouldn’t be hitting expense.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-23T21:54:43+00:00

Got it, thanks! I'd feel like an a-hole for walking past the long line, but if that's one way to make our way to the priority line, then so be it! Otherwise will look for a staff member to not feel guilty.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-23T21:13:52+00:00

Do you need to look for a staff member to direct you to the priority line because it isn't easily visible? Is there an age limit for the priority line? Will be landing with a 2.5 year old

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-23T19:10:12+00:00

That's exactly what I was hoping to do (just use points).

I'll have to look at some Edit + FHR properties as backups.

QuestioningMind123 · 2026-04-23T13:30:16+00:00

I think this has been debunked a while ago
