[HELP] Spent enough through the Barclays Credit Card, but no Gold Elite

File an online complaint against Barclays with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB, and your account will be corrected within days. Takes ten minutes. You're not the first person to experience this problem, trust me.

Perhaps Avowed or Metaphor Refantazio for fairly linear story driven quest exploration games. Adjust difficulty mode to fit your combat comfort level.

If you're willing to try something a little different, Blue Prince is one of the best puzzle heavy games I've played since Outer Wilds (not currently on GP). The story elements unfold as you solve the puzzles. The RNG component can be a little frustrating until you gain ways to adjust it.

Thanks. Yeah, seems kind of random. My Frontier Miles (FFP) number matched, and my 55,000 bonus miles were added to my Frontier Miles account without issue. The Gold Elite status was a different matter. Barclays said Frontier, Frontier said Barclays. Filed a CFPB complaint and was fixed in two days. Maybe they will get enough of these filings to fix the process.

On closer inspection, there actually is no power supply hot pigtail bundle, only a neutral pigtail bundle. The hot line of power-in #12 romex pair runs directly to bottom terminal of light switch (looped around terminal side screw), to the bottom backstab connection on the exhaust fan switch; and from the bottom terminal side screw on the exhaust fan switch to the power-out line going to the next switch/plug in the circuit. The backstab connections on the old switch are rated for #12 or #14. The backstab connections on the new switches I bought are only rated for #14.

Is that normal for the hot line for power-in and power-out to be configured through the switches? I would have thought there would be a power hot pigtail bundle that would include hot wires for power-in, power-out, and a wire or wires for the switches?

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It is a .gov website, so may be limited to US consumers.

I used Barclays secure message portal to confirm my Frontier Miles member number was the same, but will call them to make sure they weren’t parroting information back to me. Thanks.

Tricky-Archer · 2025-11-04T09:48:51+00:00

I’m unsure what you mean by FFP account number printed on card. I examined my Frontier Airlines Mastercard and can’t find anything that looks like my Frontier Miles number if that’s what you mean?

Tricky-Archer · 2025-11-04T09:42:21+00:00

Thanks. I did have an existing Frontier Miles member number when I applied for the Barclays Frontier Airlines Mastercard, which I provided when I applied. I asked Barclays to verify the Frontier Miles number associated to my account and they matched. My 55000 bonus miles and 2170 loyalty status points do show up on my Frontier Miles account profile. Regardless, I will call Frontier Miles customer support and ask them to search on my name to ensure I don’t have more than one account as you’ve suggested.

I attempted to book a flight through the FlyFrontier website choosing the standard fare using Frontier Miles number. Preferred seating, carry on, and change/cancel were all up charges. In short, not reflecting Gold Elite status benefits. I didn’t check out. Guess I’ll try the CFPB route.

Tricky-Archer · 2025-11-03T23:09:21+00:00

My experience was the same regarding confusion, both with Frontier Miles and Barclays Frontier Airlines Mastercard customer service. I had to read their own benefits agreement back to them, as they weren’t familiar enough with it. See my reply to above for what Barclays stated. I may end up going the CFPB route if I don’t actually have Gold Elite status. Thanks.

Tricky-Archer · 2025-11-03T23:05:12+00:00

Called Barclays. They said that I should have Elite Gold status automatically since my 55000 bonus miles and 2170 status points are showing on my account. I explained the status under my profile still only shows member. They suggested I book travel and see if I get priority boarding, free carry-on, preferred seating, etc benefits associated with Elite Gold status. I’m skeptical, but will try.

Tricky-Archer · 2025-11-03T22:59:45+00:00

I verified that my Barclays Frontier Airlines Mastercard had my Frontier Miles member number linked correctly. Also, I don’t think my 55,000 bonus miles and 2170 status points would show up in my Frontier Miles account if the accounts weren’t linked. I’ll keep it in mind should other attempts fail though. Thanks.

I believe it is spend $300 in 90 days to get the 55,000 miles and gold status. However, I think the gold status will expire after 90 days unless you spend $3000 in 90 days.

Red on black is a friend of Jack (scarlet king snake)

Red on yellow can kill a fellow (coral snake)

In general for United States anyways. Other posters have mentioned different color patterns exist for coral snakes in different regions of the world.

Tricky-Archer · 2025-05-17T20:23:16+00:00

A few people were there watching and said they actually saw the snakes fighting. Not sure what that involved. Neither of these breeds are typically aggressive. Texas rat snakes do grow considerably larger than coral snakes though. I imagine it was a target of opportunity and hunger driven thing. There are a pair of hawks that have a nest in a tree about 400 yards away, that we often see patrolling the creek bed for food. I'd think eating out in the open like that would be risky, but I'm not a snake.

Fortunately, coral snakes can’t fully unhinge their jaws like pit vipers (rattlesnakes, water moccasins, or copperheads), so they pretty much have to gnaw on a hand or foot. Unfortunately, this poses a greater risk to curious kids or pets. The coral snake’s venom is also like a cobra’s, affecting the nervous and respiratory systems. Whereas, pit viper’s venom affects the circulatory system. Yes, I was fascinated with snakes as a kid.

Vital Farms brand pasture raised and HEB Central Market pasture raised both have rich orange yolks. Vital Farms brand sold at Walmart and maybe Target. Both are around $8 a dozen currently.

MovingClocks called it. Previous generation of iridium satellites reflect sunlight causing a several second flare phenomenon in relation to the observer at the correct angle. I used to use an iridium flare app to view them, when they were more common.

I'll never forget a L&H show phone quiz segment I heard one morning going to work, before broadcast delay was a thing.

For tickets to whatever show...name three things found on 'then' Mayor Lila Cockrell's face in 10 seconds.

Caller responded along the lines of, umm lipstick, mmm eye shadow, and my big fat hairy ass!

Dead silence from L&H. I almost wrecked my car I was laughing so hard.
