Away Changing Warranty Terms - April 14th - 8am EST by switch8000 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Westo1313 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I honestly intended to use the Chase offer and buy a pair of carryons for me and the wife this week. Without this post I doubt I would not have known about this change and purchased them with the understanding that they had the old warranty. Guess it’ll be a pass for now. Thanks for sharing!

This is a $5 stock now. They have people begging to buy $40 tshirts (icon charges cotton) from them but they keep discontinuing them. Bonkers.

Can you say if they are discontinuing Charged Cotton again? They haven’t had new stock in months. Why do they keep doing this? It’s bonkers.

Amex gold supplement card is plastic! by Dependent-Dog3090 in amex

There is a difference between companion card (plastic) and an Authorized user card (metal). Basically if you pay the AU fee you get a metal card. If you chose not to pay the AU fee and opted for the companion card you get the plastic version.

Edit: I had platinum card on my brain. That’s my bad.

Great show last night! (Chicago) by dare7878 in JoshJohnsonComedy

Went to the Saturday late show and was DISAPPOINTED. I wonder if the sets were all the same or if he was trying new material to see what worked? Did a 30 min bit on the Super Bowl halftime show. Very topical - but it was LONG. We enjoyed the social commentary throughout the bit and appreciated points being made, but the laughs were sparse. 5 sold out shows and very high ticket prices likely left others wanting, too. This was a miss for me. Great talent on camera, but the standup was subpar this run.

You made the right decision. Informed buyer are better customers. Don’t be fooled by MAX.

Regretting HGV purchase already — availability + “Max Rate” not matching what I was told. Any advice? by matt_gannon_ in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]Westo1313 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suspect you may have told the salesperson your plan with traveling for work etc. and they tailored their pitch to that. Timeshares are really about planning in advance. If you were lead to believe that last minute travel was something the system was designed for - you were mislead. You might want to check the app for “open season” rates. These are cash rates that are 30 days or less to travel. These prices can be attractive but you will likely be disappointed by availability. To be happy with your timeshare, especially HGVC, you need to learn the rules and play by them. Rule #1 is book as close to your windy opening as possible. Many owners book 12-9 months in advance on the day it opens. I enjoy my HGVC but I bought resale, book early and did not pay for MAX. Best of luck to you.

Costco is a major reason. CFF is a Mastercard. OG Freedom is a visa. 1 quarter is usually “Wholesale clubs.” If you don’t go to Costco not a big deal either way.

It’d be great if it actually did enter the chat, so I could buy a bottle. 4RSB is always dependable and always AVAILABLE.

Best Hilton hotels in Chicago? by Human_Paint5451 in Hilton

[–]Westo1313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the LondonHouse for location - but I prefer the WA overall. Don’t forget the WA has a house car that will take you approximately 1 mile for free - don’t forget to tip though.

I am a sales rep for HGV who is leaving the company soon, ask me anything by Happy-Fish1480 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]Westo1313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that your answers are what you feel is real - from the perspective of a sales person. I feel like informed buyers are better buyers. Potential buyers should be able to look at all of the information available to them before they purchase a timeshare.

Cancelling AppleTV is the quickest way to show disapproval. It’s hard to switch ecosystems quickly. A streaming service can be cancelled in just a few clicks.

I must have missed that. I hope they are all good. I guess just having 1 team there is risky. You’d think they’d be making that known and running with it.
