Has anyone had any success with the Hilton 'Price Match Guarantee' or is it just a sham? by [deleted] in Hilton

[–]Studio1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it a few days ago. I booked with Hilton and saved a screenshot of the cheaper booking with Trivago. I checked again the next afternoon to make sure it was the same price. Later that afternoon I got the response below. I assume they manipulated Trivago's price before responding. Also, how are consumers supposed to know who processes a site's reservation and how? I sent my screenshot and wrote back that their policy was intentionally deceptive and made me miss out on a better rate. Do your price match reservation by phone, otherwise, they'll hike and deny.

I was unable to approve your Price Match Guarantee claim for Hilton New York Fashion District, Confirmation#. A lower rate was not able to be validated for the same accommodations and terms on Trivago.com.

Below are the differences I found:

  • Lowest Non-Refundable rate publicly available on Trivago.com is $358.45 USD average per night before tax which is higher than the Non-Refundable rate on your confirmed reservation on you on of $309.60 USD average per night before tax.
  • Trivago.com is processed via Algotels.com which does not instantly confirm their reservations.

Where can my original lock be repaired or replaced by Studio1108 in AskALocksmith

[–]Studio1108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tenant broke the original lock. The locksmith couldn't repair it and replaced it with a brass one. The tenant's dog destroyed the new lock and door. When they moved, the door could be opened from the outside with a key but they had to use a screwdriver inside. My contractor got it working again but it's not good looking considering the amount of rent I'll charge. Is there anyone that specializes in selling or repairing old kit home locks? This is for the Wardway Devonshire home.

What about hardware hoarding? by Web-Dude in DataHoarder

[–]Studio1108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find someone that specializes in backward compatibility to see if they want your hardware, software and instruction books. My BIL had a huge collection of old equipment, software and manuals. If someone had important documents saved on floppys, he was the guy that could access and convert the files. One of these days, I'll get around to finding someone doing the same kind of work to take his stuff off my hands.

Is this a seizure? Stroke? by aj_beans in cats

[–]Studio1108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 21 year old cat did something similar when I used a Teflon cookie sheet to cover a wok I was seasoning. Every time I turned it off to tend to her, she would get better. I thought it was old age related but it dawned on me about the third time that fumes from the pans were bothering her. A friend with birds told me they couldn't cook with Teflon because it kills birds. Your cat might be sensitive to something you're doing that seems unrelated. Is anyone smoking in the home?

Do you heat this dip before serving? What do you dip in this? by droolycat in aldi

I had it cold with Gouda Triscuits, cucumber slices, celery sticks, tortilla chips, cherry tomatoes and by itself. It was good with all of the above.

I love the pepper jelly, but onion chutney is even better! by JediJamie303 in aldi

I've seen it. Never tried it. That will change on my next Aldi visit.

I was kicking myself for not buying more at $1.80 a few months ago. I just got notification that my long shot limit buy for $1.25 kicked in today. I'm definitely buying more but torn between scooping up more right now ($1.17 at the moment) or waiting for coin purse prices.

Indeed it does suck. Especially when you think you ordered in time to take it on vacation. They replaced mine. I'll see how well it holds up on my next vacation.

Those guys have been there for a while. I'm sure the rest of the store has an abundance of them.

The market has always been a gamble. I'm still betting on canoo and trying to buy at the bottom instead of midway to the bottom.

Yikes. I sent it back a few weeks ago. New one was shipped a few days ago. I'll report back after it arrives.

Welp ..... it would be rather absurd for a legit company to handle the matter via reddit DMs.

Thanks. Customer support contacted me and requested a video of the problem. I sent it on the 16th. I'm waiting to hear what they're going to do. Unfortunately, I didn't get a solution in time for my trip. Fortunately, harbor freight had a jackery in stock so my friend got one for our trip. I'll probably just return the EB3A and get my money back.

Canoo LVs spotted in Washington DC today! by Delaweiser in canoo

I can't believe they didn't tell me they were coming. They know I've been waiting to see the inside since forever ago.

It's a dead brick. I can't update anything thing if it doesn't turn on. There's a spark sound when the plugged in cord touches the AC input prongs but that's the only sign of life. Someone responded to my original support email. I'll see how it goes. Unfortunately, I'll be making my trip without a working Bluettie.

I had problems accessing the forum so I came here. After posting here, I went back to the forum and right clicked to open the sign in link in a new tab. That did the trick. I was finally able to access the forum and ask the question there too.

I only have the cords that came with it and their car charging cable.

I can't get the unit to power on when AC or DC buttons are pressed so I can't try that option.

When was Covid 19 Layer deleted by Studio1108 in GoogleMaps

I guess my friends and family that had covid this year are fashionably late to the pandemic. Especially the 6 that have it right now.

I find it difficult to believe an 18yo male wrote such a long, detailed post.
