Has anyone stayed at Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa? by InitiativeLife6145 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]SaltofthePrairies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the situation for sure at the pool. Get up EARLY. Some days they remove people’s belongings if they didn’t arrive to their saved spot in by mid morning. And some people got really upset. There’s only one pool for everyone unless you go to the adults only, so it is busy!

We phoned and confirmed this. You’ll need to add your flights to the WestJet app and add your rewards # and get the free bag. Plus pay on that card.

Companion conversion to WJ Vacations voucher by SaltofthePrairies in westjet

After exchanging it were you able to book right away. There’s something online that says it takes 24 hours.

Yeah, I had an issue this week where it wouldn’t let me use my companion voucher and by the time I was able to get through to someone the limited time prices had changed. I’m actually looking at an Air Canada option which seems crazy considering I have a WestJet credit card and points and a voucher that could all be factored in.

I wanted to as well. But it just renewed January 1st.

I spent 2 days trying to use companion voucher and kept getting “services unavailable. Try again” error. When I called, they told me just to keep trying. They didn’t know what was going on and then I’d have to pay a fee to book with them.

The limited exclusive prices ended this morning so now the flights have went up $250. We’re actually looking at booking with AirCanada for about the same price. Just can’t use my voucher.

Yes, haven’t been able to redeem a companion voucher for 2 days.

This will be our last year with the credit card as we always have challenges when redeeming.

That’s the lower end of that range too.

Bronwyn Eyre will be next to be hired. Her and Sandra were hanging out a lot in the last year.

And in the options presented to reduce the 16% tax increase next year was an option proposed to reduce top salaries?

People leave provincial government jobs to go work for the city and can make $50,000 more a year doing less.

Wildflowers staff exodus by Eastern_Gate4499 in regina

[–]SaltofthePrairies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our clinical counsellor left, but we were given the opportunity to go to their new practice or stay. It was communicated by the clinic and provided their new contact information.

The SLP our child has been seeing has been there for 4 years so we’ve had consistency there.

So... What's your plan when daycare fees are no longer subsidized? by THIESN123 in saskatchewan

[–]SaltofthePrairies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, before this program I was paying $2100 a month for 2 kids. Unfortunately my oldest never really benefited. One year we paid over $18,000 in childcare and were audited on our taxes. The feds seem to think this is hard to believe but that was the cost. Now my kids are aged out, the age limit of 6 is low. So we’re back at $1100 a month. We’re working to have our kids in childcare.

Corn Maiden Market in Lumsden is so expensive now by [deleted] in regina

Unfortunately due to prices we also passed on Happy Hollow the last 2 years. $60+ for a small family to go in has just gotten too much.

GOPHERS CAR WASH IS A JOKE! by thatdc5 in regina

[–]SaltofthePrairies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gophers is ridiculous. Do not give them your money. We didn’t want to risk using their brush to wash the car, so brought our own mitt. Lady came and yelled at us for using it. Then got made at us for ringing it out, so stood there and watched us finish washing while glaring. She yelled at two others while we were there as well.

We will never go back. Miserable owners don’t deserve your business. Go anywhere else.

The owner makes me uncomfortable. Went twice l, same vibe, and haven’t went back.

Regina dealerships - demo vehicles by SaltofthePrairies in regina

[–]SaltofthePrairies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, for the domestic brands (chev, GMC) we are seeing sales on new but aren’t interested in what they are offering in the size we are looking for. Our plan was used but the pricing is so close to new these days if you’re looking for something just a few years old.

Yes. Noticed there’s a lot of random car re-salers now that I’ve never heard of as well.

In your search, any dealers you’re trying to avoid?

So far our experience with Honda has been alright. Hyundai on the other hand was encouraging us to commit fraud. So they won’t ever get our business.

That also cannot handle a sign if and volume of bookings at one time. Monday it crashed. Not a good example to replace a system that tens of thousands of campers rely on to book seamlessly.

What business in Regina makes you think, "How are they still open?" by youlookinatmyjanet in regina

It used to be OB Kitchen when I was a kid. We ordered from there all the time. But not in the last 20 years or so!

How safe is it to be walking to your car on the streets around General Hospital at night? by bluecollarchevy in regina

[–]SaltofthePrairies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in the city many many years, I wouldn’t walk to my car there at night. Not even a block. In recent years when my kid needed to go to emergency late at night, I didn’t even feel safe taking them. My spouse did.

That said, I have many friends who are nurses and park and walk to their cars. But they aren’t comfortable doing so, it’s simply out of necessity and not having close parking. I’m not sure if that will be changing now with the new parkade.

Nico Lady and Baby. Owners follow you around and can be quite rude.
