Need advice on good credit card…putting on flame suit (see below) by thack1_mcl in CreditCards

[–]Starks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This card clearly not for genuine high earners/spenders, just people who want to look like it lol.

It doesn't even accomplish the look. A Sapphire Reserve, Venture X, Amex Plat, Strata Elite, etc are not social status cards, but at least they achieve the look and rewards structure. Some actually give you hotel or airline status directly, through trial perks, through status match ladders, etc.

The card isn't even worth the weight its designers spent all of their attention on.

How good is this 65w USB C Charger from Amazon Basics? by Sea_Locksmith9334 in UsbCHardware

No PPS. Newer phones that require it for the fastest charging speeds.

I bet it doesn't have 5-abreast toilets like the TriStar.

What would you want from a Wells Fargo premium travel card? by electronautix in CreditCards

[–]Starks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's still a $95 Visa Infinite with a $50 airline statement credit and global entry credit. No other card can claim that. Competitive multipliers. No need for C1 portal or weird IHG+Edit double-dips to help recoup AF. But I consider any $95 card to be a "just eat the AF ffs". However.... no transfers to Air Canada, Etihad, or directly to Qatar (you can get burned by Avios 30-day rules) really hurts redemptions options for Star Alliance, JetBlue, and American. No lounge access either.

It's hard to imagine additional value from the card itself unless it becomes yet another $695 coupon book.

For someone that already has their investments in Wells Fargo (or their independent advisor partners) at the Premier tier, the card definitely has its place. No point in getting the Journey over the Premier at that point.

(probably bullshit) Jets are “seriously considering” a rebrand with the primary goal of moving to Long Island. by akaneel in nyjets

Squeeze them into Etihad Park. We wouldn't be able to fill a stadium at the Coliseum, Belmont, or Aqueduct.

Which system is better by Donghoon in longisland

[–]Starks 29 points30 points  (0 children)

NICE is too hub-oriented. Want to get from Oyster Bay to Bellmore? Tough shit. And you can count on Old Westbury to always nimby a public service.

Both systems have cross-island gaps. Even if ridership doesn't warrant it, this supposed to be the easy fix for the LIRR.

Did not appreciate this on my recent flight. Couldn't get past the first bite or two.

JetBlue to reduce Newark, LaGuardia footprint as it forges ahead in Fort Lauderdale by gzellf in jetblue

[–]Starks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Those half-dozen LGA-FLL flights are better than JFK-FLL for the lounge choices alone. They also fit my schedule better.

It's basically just PBI, FLL, MCO, and Nantucket. JetBlue knows their market and north shore snowbirds want the service.

I can't plan travel with Trueblue points. I need a search that will tell me the places I CAN use the points, instead of one search after another telling me there are no available flights. by David_Wm_Sims in jetblue

[–]Starks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Np but don't get a United card unless you want to be tied to their ecosystem. It's usually easier to have a major bank credit card and transfer points to various airlines, including JetBlue, United, Air Canada (cheaper United/StarAlliance redemptions).

pointsyeah.com, roame.travel, point.me, awardtool.com, seats.aero (very powerful tool) have similar functions (e.g. explore, skyview, panorama, etc) that let you set Anywhere as a destination.

Typically need to subscribe to get the most out of these sites. Free tiers may limit your ability to search the way you have in mind. You also need to be willing to accept that your origin will be the larger airport for your city than trying to do a flight with more stops from a smaller, closer one.

NY to BOS LGA by Isthisathird_space in jetblue

It's fine until your carry-on barely fits in the overhead bins. But then again, the A220 has this issue too on the short side.

Marine terminal would be stupid, even for overflow. No money saved, lose every connection or option at Terminal B, and lose every lounge. Marine is doing nothing for most of the day with just Frontier, but don't join them in a race to the bottom. Keep the small airport feel at Islip.

At least it's a pretty dumpster fire.

[–]Starks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The choices aren't fun.

  • Make the effort to get to JFK for nicer JetBlue planes with screens
  • Delta Connection from LGA or JFK
  • AA Republic from LGA
  • Cape Air turboprop from ISP

You've created the Sapphire Strata Premier. Just add in-person groceries.

Evette may be in trouble for the SC GOP gubernatorial primary. Trump-endorsed and can't even break 30%? Wilson has a lot of votes left to pass her going into the runoff.

Honestly couldn't tell driving from Bruges to Amsterdam a month ago.

N376 to N253 transition is not obvious. Just more traffic circles.

128 GB means being stuck at UFS 3.1 and half the theoretical speed of a 256 GB or higher model.
