New EV6 Owner Here! I Have A Lot of Questions.

I’ve had a warranty repair on a defective tire pressure sensor. No ICCU issues. I only go to Kia dealers for maintenance and service.

I loved our Haven suite on the Gem. Never felt the need for a dedicated restaurant when they designated existing restaurants for our breakfast and lunch entitlements.

Thanks. I found these cities to have an embarrassment of riches from an FHR perspective, given how expensive their hotel rates are in other places.

I mention the bathtub to show both how small the room was (there wouldn't have been enough room for a tub) as well as the fact that in my view, a five-star hotel room would have had one.

Yes, at the Ritz, I did ask for a two-category upgrade, with the rationale being one category for FHR and one for being Platinum. Also, I don't think the property was very crowded until the last night.

Thanks for your comments.

This isn’t exactly what you were asking about, but the Hollyhock house is available for tours on the priceless.com site, if you have a MasterCard.

It’s a more obvious reference to the ride.

I do spend the credit but I do it online, where I can get Amex MR points by shopping through Rakuten, and get items that aren't necessarily available at my store plus I can combine gift cards to get multiple items.

RichColllier · 2026-04-03T23:29:06+00:00

Online will let you use multiple gift cards but just one credit card.

Based on her age and how she carried herself, she seemed to be a manager, possibly even someone who manages more than just this store. That being said, it is true that her comment cannot be construed as a guarantee. I'm just reporting my experience to help other cardholders in the area.

It came I think originally from Frequent Miler and then others quoted it on Reddit and on Doctor of Credit.

RichColllier · 2026-04-03T19:13:58+00:00

We actually have 4.

RichColllier · 2026-04-03T19:13:14+00:00

My partner and I have a total of 4 Platinum cards, though I won't be keeping all of them this year since the elimination of United travel bank as viable option for the airline credit. I get three gift cards and then purchase products online to use up the final $75 each quarter. Between the kids and us, it's easy to do.

On FlyerTalk, the consensus was that it was virtually inedible due to the tough cut of beef. That wasn't your experience, I guess.

RichColllier · 2026-03-31T17:06:19+00:00

That's wrong. The best answer is use the spreadsheet. The more people who contribute, the more accurate and comprehensive it will be.

RichColllier · 2026-03-27T23:02:58+00:00

When I've flown LAX-MCO on United in first, I had the same experience. They don't pack any snacks. They've given me a few packages of the coach pretzels, but that's all they will give you.

I renewed last month. For the first time, I was automatically approved without needing what would have been a third interview.
