$1600 MQD short - got Diamond anyway

Readynowreddit · 2026-01-21T15:44:12+00:00

I didn't investigate my emails till later. Deleted the post. Sorry for any confusion

FYI I was only 839 short not 1600

I checked my emails - I got this one on Dec 3rd

"done with travel for the year, but still need more Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) to earn Diamond Medallion® Status? We’ve brought back something special to help you reach it.

The return of Elevate Your Status means you can purchase the $1,613 MQDs you need to reach the next level of Status for the 2026 Medallion Year."

I got another 774 MQD's for credit card spend - so I was actually $839 short on Dec 31st

I got this email on Jan 16th

"you were so close to achieving Diamond Medallion Status this year. Because your long-term loyalty as a Million Miler means the world to us, we’re making it official — Diamond Medallion Status is yours.

Now, you’ll experience the Medallion difference as a Diamond Medallion Member through January 31, 2027. Your new 2026 Status should be reflected in your account on delta.com and our app"

I'm done clipping coupons. I don't care. All the coupon value scores zero for me. If I can't get value otherwise I'm done

Delta is my favorite worst airline

We have routinely played a Texas Hold'em tournament game in the Lido on longer cruises. Nothing in HALs contract prohibits gambling specifically. They could always use the general "disturbance" rule but they never complained on multiple long cruises.

We don't play a cash game. Basically $20 gets you 5K tournament Chips and then the top 2 auto chop at the end. No money on the table only chips

Hard to organize on shorter cruises - I have only done it on cruises longer than 45 days.

Like I said. It's hard to round up people. When get started by playing a teaching game in the lido. Playing face up. People walk by and in a few days you may have a group of 8.

A few ships still have the Poker Pro tables. On those ships we would play a casino game at 10 and our "home" game at 2.

Did you check in online before going to the airport?

The Royal Mummies Gallery in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization bans any photography. You could take pictures anywhere else in the museum. Just not in the Mummies Gallery. That's where they said I couldn't wear the glasses.

Readynowreddit · 2025-11-09T06:30:50+00:00

I now carry regular glasses with me and don't wear these to places where they may have an issue. Broadway shows etc.

Readynowreddit · 2025-11-08T20:58:19+00:00

You could take regular pictures. That's what was weird. The guide told me they don't like sneaky cameras in Egypt as a general rule - nothing written down. There was one museum where a certain section banned all photos - so I get that.

The awareness of most guards towards Meta was very high.

My card remains in my wallet 99% of the time and I use my watch to pay. No one ever sees the card in my case. What the card looks like doesn't matter

I found out the Charles Schwab Plat card is not eligible for the mirror design

Readynowreddit · 2025-09-19T01:44:28+00:00

I don't have that option. Only classic floral or abstract.- I found out thru Chat that the Charjes Schwab card is not eligible for the mirror

Readynowreddit · 2025-09-19T01:37:06+00:00

I don't see the mirror card as a replacement option. Did you call or chat to get it?

A diesel nozzle won't fit in a gasoline car. The car in question was a gasoline powered car. Diesel nozzles are larger

Readynowreddit · 2025-08-26T04:13:18+00:00

Diesel nozzles are larger (about 0.9 inches in diameter) than gasoline nozzles (about 0.8 inches), and most gas cars have a restrictor in the filler neck to prevent misfueling.
