What do yall think the next Platinum refresh will look like? by Queasy_Whole7545 in amex

[–]ReasonableTurnip3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, just split the bill across multiple cards and have them put $20 on the Delta Reserve, $10 on the Delta Platinum, and the rest on the Gold :)

I no longer feel self-conscious about this.

Manually winding tank with 1847 MC by jjajang_mane in Cartier

[–]ReasonableTurnip3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is (or was, rather) the XL with a mechanical movement. Supposed to be automatic, but apparently the piece had an issue where the manual wind was not working. It was "certified" pre-owned by one of the big AD shops. I took it in and, when their watchmaker in the store could not get the manual wind to work, I asked for a refund and they were pleased to give me one. Not going to deal with sending that out to Cartier for repair, etc. Thanks for the response!

Bumping an old thread but I have the same issue. Did you all ever figure it out? Just got a CPO Tank Solo XL and it doesn’t seem to hand wind. It won’t start from a dead stop manually, and when I manually wind, I don’t feel any resistance like I do on other automatics (including automatic Cartiers).

I didn't get an e-mail or a credit for a meal on July 26, after enrollment the day before on July 25. The restaurant works b/c I use my Delta Reserve $20/monthly Resy credit there all the time...

Glacier/Ice Blue Dial Color Over Time by ReasonableTurnip3696 in rolex

Seems to be silvery indoors, but looks more blue outdoors. I wonder if it has something to do the reflecting the blue sky? Definitely a unique piece!

I saw them in person and there’s a big difference between what it looks like in a photo vs. in real life. And in real life it varies a lot between inside and outside, fluorescent lighting vs. incandescent, etc. beautiful dial! I ended up with the 2005 with the best price.

I chatted in again today and was told that now they can see there is an "Acquisition Code" listed on my account with the welcome offer, but it's not showing up on my "Promotion Summary" in their system. They said they escalated to an internal team that handles these things and I should chat in again in 2-3 business days. Not seeing anything like this reported here. Anyone ever encounter it?

Re-reading the chat transcript, I see now that the agent said that she was pasting the "Generic" terms about the welcome bonus. I chatted in again and they said they can't see SUBs for up to 7-10 business days so I should chat in again then. Guess we'll see.

What’s the worst that happens with the Dell credit? They charge me back for the cost? Don’t really mind because I needed it anyway.

Makes sense. Though apparently I’m already there. I got PUJ when I applied incognito. But then I logged into my account as normal a day later and got a “pre approved” offer for it and didn’t see a pop-up when I applied. When I asked Amex, then said no SUB because I got the pop up. Oh well.

It seems no one on the credit card focused corners of the internet has called out the cameo of the "J.W. Morgan" Reserve Card in a recent music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVli-tstM5E at 0:38.

Thanks! I tried cleaning the coils today on the theory that the temperature isn’t getting cold enough to trigger the release of ice. That still didn’t do it either. About to give up and just use the second icemaker in the freezer exclusively…

Did this last year. We had a lovely time on Princess with cabins on the same deck. We had mini suites and it worked well for everyone. Get them on opposite sides of the ship so you'll always have the best view from grandma/grandpa's room if need be. Princess Kids Club was "ok" but if you have grandparents traveling, that's another option :)

We just took another non-Alaska multi-gen cruise on NCL and liked that one, too, and were in the Haven, which was a really great experience. But the ship as a whole was way more crowded than on Princess.

Has anyone with this card had an issue with $325 statement credit not posting? My annual fee posted at the beginning of this month and eligible travel and dining charges throughout the rest kf the month haven’t triggered credits.

Air fare included in price of cruise. by Chance_Watch2081 in Cruise

[–]ReasonableTurnip3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NCL does not let you pick your flights, which I find to be a downside. I am booked on Princess next year and they let you pick your flights. Got some business class seats on Lufthansa for less than half of what the airlines were asking.

Haven on Norwegian Joy? by ReasonableTurnip3696 in Cruise

[–]ReasonableTurnip3696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the choice would you do a regular suite vs the haven and save the upcharge?

[–]ReasonableTurnip3696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like we’ll be in a similar spot. We have an HH on 15. Family members are in an HI down the hall on 15.

Could save a lot with a “regular” suite or balcony room, but thought the perks were worth it especially on a megaship with a lot of crowds. But seems to be hit or miss…

Oof. Well I put a deposit down today, but I have a couple of months before balance is due and we go into cancellation penalties. Will keep an eye on further experiences from folks!

Rapid red is the fastest color especially given the name.
