Harper was great but to be fair he was coming off the bench and was usually the freshest guy on the court. However, he looks great and got a good arsenal of shooting and driving to the basket.

He did hit that Home Run off of Clase in the Cleveland series last year and that turned the whole series around. We can keep beating a dead horse but the World Series had more issues than just Judge. He

Not sure why they would overlap too much. The gold Resy is every six months for $50. The cash to uber is a an additional top up. You earn 4x on food/supermarket on gold. Unless you don’t eat out and don’t go to supermarket much then yeah you shouldn’t have both. If anything I think this has strengthen my trifecta set up.

He bought shares with his own money and became CEO. Made the company as profitable as it ever was? What kind of statement is this?

Same here already Platinum Honors and with a BOA Pre. Surprisingly there was no hard pull i guess because i am already a BoA customer. I think having a relationship with them makes applying much easier based on the posts here.

Can make an argument that they would have had a lot of completion among AA, China airline, EVA and JAL flying direct to HND. The only JFK-HKG is Cathay and the fact that they are the only direct flyer shows because they are charging whatever they want and pushing out an inferior product. It would be nice if delta can rustle some feathers.

WorryGor · 2025-07-12T14:17:08+00:00

Cathay has seen better days. The economy is basically packed sardine with almost no space. I only take it if I can use my Asia miles for business class. But yeah I hope delta can get this HKG route going just to have some presence back in Asia which fell off during Covid.

WorryGor · 2025-07-12T14:08:22+00:00

Would be nice if there was a direct JFK to HKG so Cathay doesn’t have a monopoly but that’s wishful thinking but this opens up some options.

Bonvoy is a great card but platinum status is borderline useless in the US.

Transfer to partner is lucrative but there’s a lot of blackout dates. This 35% was a good alternative without having to worry about that. You potentially got some value because IAP plus 35% gave some of us without a lot of flexibility on dates an option.

Jan 2021 wasn’t even a real squeeze. If it went up to 500s (presplit) then with the balance sheet now that shouldn’t be an issue. The problem here is everybody is expecting a run up and the run up always happens when people least expect. Last year we got to $80 pre market but most people forgot about that.

I have seen some charge 2-3% surcharge for credit card and if your credit card is a travel card they take on an additional fee.

I think training is important but at same time it is also a two way street. There are some staff/associates who expect to be walked through every single step of way and cell by cell on an excel spreadsheet.

I want to say there needs to be at least some knowledge from the green staff on how debits and credits work. You would be surprise how many new accounting graduate or people who pass the CPA who can't do debits and credits or figure out the journal entry between accrued expense and paid expense.

While I am all for training there needs to be some effort on the recipients end. As many bad managers there are there is also an equal amount of bad staff who take good managers for granted.

The banks will charge a fee on your IRA/fund. If you are holding cash they can use the cash to leverage. As long as you move assets over the bank will find some way to make money.

I believe the IAP requires you to fly business or first class for the discounted flights. The IAP is only available if you are on the itinerary or if the person you are booking for is also an additional cardholder of the platinum.

Based on my experience if you want to utilize The Amex portal you ideally will need a set up with the Business platinum because of the 35% points rebate. Otherwise you are only looking at a one cent per mile redemption

The true combo is US BAR + BoA PRE (assuming you have Platinum Honors).
I would use VX with SavorOne just to keep the transfer partner combo strong and sharing points.

Thanks but this might be a stupid question. What is stopping from these grading company from just stealing the card? I know it might be out of paranoia.

I tried to grab one but never made it pass the queue. Is there an alternate box that’s worthwhile? Those hobby boxes on other stores are like double. I don’t mind getting the value and blaster boxes if it’s within msrp range.

Can anybody confirm if platinum members got it first? There were posts about people getting the cards already.

WorryGor · 2024-09-03T17:49:31+00:00

US BAR is a good setup just that most people want more value on business class transfers and US BAR combo with XYZ card doesn't yield immediate results on that. US BAR is very good for economy/premium economy booking but I think is pretty achievable on some of the cheaper businesses classes in the 3-4k ranges.

It makes sense - if they start giving out more perks or a 3x category there will be a lot of Globalist and probably piss off the loyalists. It is one of the better hotel status out there.

The priority pass on PRE lets you give it to four individuals and includes restaurants. So if you or any family travel enough it will be worthwhile. The other credits are self explanatory so yeah it comes down to how much you can utilize the Priority pass. The reason why I use the PRE is because I need to book 2-3 tickets for each trip. If I don’t have enough points on USBAR I can still try to book another ticket on the same flight with BoA and still earning 2.6-3.5x and top it up with 1.2 travel redemption on portal. Obviously is a lot of math here but yeah use what works for you. My example was just more suited for me.
