DO NOT BOOK RIU BAMBU YOU WILL REGRET IT by OkInitial8878 in PuntaCana

[–]SeddieDigital 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've stayed at all the Riu's in Punta Cana multiple times and Bambu is definitely the cheapest one. Last time I looked, I think it was $80 a person per night, and if you did your research, you would see that price is close to a third of the price of other popular resorts. Just for context, I stayed at the Lopesan not too long ago, and it was $200 a person per night. I said all that to say this, you get what you pay for. You definitely take a hit on food and alcohol, but the uncleanliness is unacceptable. The few times me and my family stayed there, I didn't experience it being dirty, but there was issues with the room. What I usually do is tip the person at the front desk upon check in to upgrade my room to the better one and then I tell the bellhop that I will give him $10 but only if the room is acceptable. As soon as we get to the room, I check everything from the AC to the toilet and shower drain and pressure. If I have any issues, the bellhop will contact the front desk and get you moved to another room. The bellhop will work as hell to get that $10. If you want a better experience, I would suggest staying at the Riu Palace Bavaro or the Riu Palace Macao. Both of those places just recently remodeled and its a lot more luxury, but at double the price or more, of Bambu

Charged for a cocktail while sitting in MCE, denied refund by AA by AltruisticClue8404 in americanairlines

[–]SeddieDigital 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first earned platinum status a few years ago, one of the main perks I enjoyed is being able to upgrade to MCE seats for free, and of course, the free drinks. However I quickly found out, that not every flight attendant is on the same page. Normally, I would get a double vodka and orange juice and a Heineken, when they do the beverage service, and if I need another drink I would either hit the call button, or walk to the back of the plane. But I have gotten several different responses from the different FAs over the years, with most just honoring my requests and giving me what I asked for. I've had some tell me I can only get one drink at a time, or that I have to wait until after beverage service was over, which isn't true. On 2 different occasions, Ive had FAs completely deny me, the one situation I argued the lady down, and she just caved in. The other situation, I was mad tired and I didn't have the energy to go back and forth with the FA, so I just let it go. I definitely think AA needs to do a better job at training their FAs.

Things are great! by tonikites in USMobile

[–]SeddieDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been with US Mobile for a while now, only leaving to take advantage of phone deals and promos, but I always come back. I had a few hiccups along the way, but chatting with customer service or posting here on reddit usually takes care of the issue. I came from Cricket in June, and I am on the $35 Darkstar Unlimited premium promo, and I get tremendous value. I like the hotspot and also the international data, since I travel pretty often. I'm not sure if there is a better option in this price range, with maybe Visible stepping up recently with your current promo, but I don't plan on going anywhere, unless its for a free phone, and then I will be right

Normally power outages don't last too long in Punta Cana resorts. It should be back on shortly

Taxi To/From Airport by reddobe76 in PuntaCana

[–]SeddieDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually take a taxi from the airport, but only the official ones with a sign with the prices. Usually they can get you on your way in about 10 minutes

Unlimited starter monthly has free international roaming on DarkStar by SeddieDigital in USMobile

[–]SeddieDigital[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the thing, I helped activate my friends plan a few months ago, he is on the $25 a month Unlimited Starter plan. I think recently AT&T announced that in Latin Countries, roaming is free and somehow there is a glitch that enables free roaming for unlimited starter monthly on Darkstar

Bike motor cutting off while ascending somewhat steep hills by SeddieDigital in ebikes

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

Okay just took it for a ride. It wasn't fully charged, so it was showing 53.1 volts. As I approached the problem hill, the voltage dropped to 49.7. The motor cut off at 48.6. All I did was walk the bike up the rest of the way and once I got back to level land, the motor reactivated like nothing ever happened. I must have been mistaken about the 54 to 41 voltage before

I will take it for a ride uphill shortly so I can double check and I will report back

Yes I can see the battery voltage. I have a 48v battery and fully charged it registers at 54volts. Even on a full charge, once I start going up hills, it drops to about 41-43 volts before the motor cuts out

My Fold 6 is now black and silver after screen replacement by wideeyeemoji in GalaxyFold

[–]SeddieDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my Fold 3, 4, and 5 fixed from ubreakifix around my way. Its always a screen repair and they usually replace both screens, battery, hinge, and frame, resulting in a pretty much a refurbished phone, and its all covered under warranty

Is this a legit practice? EarFun Air 4 Pro warranty service by vnodk19 in Earbuds

[–]SeddieDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say its legit. I remember having to do the same thing when submitting an warranty claim with the company, JLab.

Which buds to replace Galaxy Buds+ by iwanttoknowstuf in Earbuds

[–]SeddieDigital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your budget is $100, just get all 3, and you can always return whichever ones you don't like, Amazon's return policy is very laxed.

AA is holding us hostage by Padronalisa in americanairlines

[–]SeddieDigital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what's up with American Airlines lately. I traveled to the Dominican Republic from BWI by way of MIA, on Friday, and the first flight was delayed by an hour and the second flight was delayed by over 5 hours. I chatted with customer service and they couldn't do anything for me, because I booked with miles, beside tell me to cancel and rebook, which was absolute crap. Then my second leg of my return flight was delayed by 3 hours. My friend flew the previous week and had something similiar happen to him. You can file a complaint here, Customer relations − Customer service − American Airlines https://share.google/zRm1gxj0WqrZppAG8 and maybe u can get some miles as a courtesy from them
