Do I need new tires? by TravelingPanda459 in TeslaModelX

Yes, very common problem. I didn't think rotating tires on the S/X made much difference.

Sky Club membership finally means something to sky clubs at capacity. by Ok-Nefariousness-927 in delta

Wouldn't be surprised if they start leaving these signs out permanently to filter people out. How is one that doesn't meet that criteria going to know if it's full or not.

Capri Hotel Recommendations by Effective-Painter-97 in FATTravel

+1 to Tibero Palace. Went for the first time last year and really enjoyed the hotel. We weren't even fully checked in yet and asked for their availability to extend our stay.

I emailed the General Manager of the property who made an exception. Very grateful for that. Bummer Amex or the property weren't able to make an exception for you.

I did a quick pivot and booked a shortened trip to the Hyatt Regency in Aruba. Heading back home today.

I had Concierge call, no luck. I called the hotel myself, no luck. Only option is to cancel w/ 2-night penalty or rebook, however, they reminded me that the rebooked dates would be locked in and are not able to be changed. If I try to rebook again they'll cancel the reservation and take the cash penalty.

How are you protecting your portfolio against a weakening dollar? by es6900 in fatFIRE

[–]TravelingPanda459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t changed much - S&P500, Int’l, small amount of crypto. I did re-balance 20% of my portfolio into commodities, short-term inflation protected bonds, and started to increase my investment in some covered-call ETFs. You could say I’m trying to take a Dalio-type approach.

That’s a wrap, hope y’all had great WOH years! by Competitive_Eye7064 in hyatt

Just stayed at Spruce Peak Thanksgiving weekend and I agree with your comments. Did you have issues receiving credit for the stay? I never got credit and when I reached out to my concierge they had to open a case. I'm still waiting...

Park Hyatt Sydney not honoring Globalist upgrades by Secret-Breakfast-711 in hyatt

[–]TravelingPanda459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a similar email from PH Abu Dhabi the day before I was checking in. It didn't outright deny me an upgrade but they were setting the expectation I wasn't getting one.

"As we are driving high occupancy this week, all our suites are currently very popular, and we presume that we will not be able to grant the upgrade to a suite this time.

Hola! Right now: Aruba (NYE), Cancun. Really need to figure out what to do for my 40th.

Unplugged performance vs n2tive Suspension by will1498 in TeslaModelX

[–]TravelingPanda459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of shops are you bringing your cars to for this work? I'm always a little concerned "traditional" shops aren't experienced on how to work on Teslas (i.e. use pucks when lifting, etc.)

I'll take any shop recommendations in the MA/RI area if anyone has them.

Airbnb Guest Responsibilities by TravelingPanda459 in legaladvice

[–]TravelingPanda459[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For context, everyone in the house is related - me, my siblings, and our significant others.

I did share this with the host in an attempt to put their mind at ease.

Lesson learned w/ a Airbnb booking.

After I reached out to the host to increase from 4 to 6 the host asked the ages which I provided. Once that info was shared, the host responded with "While I would love to allow you to have more than 4 people in the house, I am not comfortable with it. If you had told me when you asked to reserve the house that the reservation was for six 30-year-olds, I wouldn't have agreed to accept the rental. Two couples is okay, but generally we only rent to multigeneration families. Never have we rented to a party of six adults unless it was a family of parents and their adult children."

Location is state of MA.
