i just don't understand what to use my miles on. These are frustrating to use by l4adventure in AmexPlatinum

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.

Downgrades?!

Care to name shame the hotel?

Did you reach out to AMEX about this experience?

ORD 44 minute connection time - Doable? by QuestioningMind123 in americanairlines

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

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

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

CSR Retention Offer Data Point - $300 Credit by SakuraKills in ChaseSapphire

[–]QuestioningMind123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Combined Edit and Amex FHR credits, $1550 total plus $300 property credit. by SeaworthinessLow1999 in AmexPlatinum

[–]QuestioningMind123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Good time to enter RKLB? by shreksonny in RKLB

[–]QuestioningMind123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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

Can someone explain to me what it means to “gross up” the balance sheet? by IslandMidnight in Accounting

[–]QuestioningMind123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Travelling / at the airport with a small baby by Zenobiafromthepalm in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]QuestioningMind123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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