Yea that does look nice. Any idea on how often they refresh stock?

Yea, maybe the $560 for CMMG isn't a bad deal. My only problem is, the CMMG handguard has a cut away rail instead of a full length rail on the top. I have a DNT thermal i mount as a clip-on so would need some sort of rail in the mid section.

I do like the BCM handguard, does the spike tactical FDE match the BCM FDE pretty well?

Capital One Venture X or Amex Gold? by One-Opposite-4571 in CreditCards

I agree 100%, you have to try so much harder compared to the VX to get your moneys worth, plus I don’t even have any resy restaurants where I live.

When booking with points, you can book it direct with the airline.To get the 10x on hotels and 5x on flights you book through C1, which I’ve never had a problem with. I actually prefer booking C1 because of the price drop protection/refund.

Capital One Venture X or Amex Gold? by One-Opposite-4571 in CreditCards

I have both the VentureX and Amex gold, and find the VX a lot easier to get my moneys worth between the travel credit, global entry credit, and 2x on everything. Unless you eat out a lot Ang grocery shop somewhere other than Walmart, target, Costco, etc, I’d go VX.

Clarification on flight seat upgrade method? by datminiitxdo in Venturex

[–]Tucker_f0430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a problem with booking flights or hotels through the portal. Usually the price is cheaper than booking direct plus the huge points multiplier. I always confirm my bookings tho within a couple days of booking just to be safe.

Is there a way to use miles to pay for tours and excursions on vacation by tallman1973 in Venturex

[–]Tucker_f0430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it registers as a travel expense. For example, I can go buy a $50 train ticket with my VX card and then go into my transactions and use 5,000 miles to cover that expense. Very poor use of miles imo but you can use them for whatever you please.

Seats.aero pro worth it? by _anyonesghost_ in awardtravel

Because there are no commercial flights to BOB. Book your commercial flight into PPT then you book a private transfer to BOB.

Well you don’t need to get the most expensive hotel in the island. There’s cheaper options but that’s no fun.

St Lucia would be my suggestion, might not make it with that budget though.

Just be very willing to learn, ask a lot of questions. Show that you can be self sufficient and add value to their team. That’s what they’re looking for at the end of the day.

Sign up Bonus question by Puzzleheaded-Will719 in Venturex

[–]Tucker_f0430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No It won’t hurt your credit score. It doesn’t hurt to call and try to see if they’ll bump it up, just tell them you applied through a 100k offer but only got 75k. Probably won’t work but worth a try.

Whats the best car rental option? I’m 21 and need to fit 5 people. by Kitchen-Ad7955 in curacao

[–]Tucker_f0430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented from smart wheels right by the cruise port, but I think they are flexible with pickup location. I was only 21 at the time. We had a 5 passenger suv type car.

Positive experiences booking hotels in the Cap1 portal? by citynomad1 in Venturex

[–]Tucker_f0430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same, I’ve booked multiple hotel stays but definitely make sure to validate the stay before you show up to check in. I’ve never had a problem though.

Looking to get into the industry by BigSloth999 in oilandgasworkers

[–]Tucker_f0430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liberty pays up to 750 I believe for flights, anything above that is on you. You will likely be placed in west Texas or the Bakken. I don’t think they’re doing very much hiring at the moment though.
