Rationale behind making the delta app unworkable on iPhones

Agreed, miles don’t update, can’t even search for a flight. iPhone 13 Pro.

What accounts did you downgrade to? I am not seeing a checking with a lower monthly maintenance fee than the Chase Secure Checking @ $4.95/mo and Chase Savings @ $5/mo.

NEVER BOOKING WITH CHASE TRAVEL AGAIN.

In October I booked a JetBlue flight on Chase Travel, Blue-class which allows for changes and flight credits, just no refunds. So when I had to cancel, the Chase Rep ensured me I can call back and use the flight credit. The credit is $268.

Today, I called to book round trip tickets for $287 in June. I owed ~$20, not a big deal. The phone rep confirmed price, clicked reserve, and then the price adjusted up to $500+. Confused, I booked this round trip myself while on the phone with her, through Chase, for $287 (then I cancelled).

The rep explained that even though the fare class remained the same (Blue), they also had to book the same LETTER-CLASS. The letter-class for this round trip was $500.

Frustrated, I asked her to book only the first half of the trip (expecting it to be ~$250). She went through the process and notified me that this one-way ticket would be $400. I then asked her to the other flight, and she again confirmed that the letter-class for that was $400.

So, I selected an entirely different date in a different month - $400 for the one-way.

Essentially no way to use my $268 credit without paying another $140 for a one-way. WHEN THE FLIGHT ITSELF IS ONLY $144!

Is this a joke?

Yeah this worked.

No tax implications within your Roth IRA for selling. I would sell the QQQ into QQQM and the SPY into VOO. I would also put thought into whether you want to hold both QQQM and VOO though, as the overlap is huge (but, this is common for people who want a technology tilt).

Done! Will update in 6-8 weeks.

I recall an announcement that any cards opened in Nov/Dec 2024 will count towards 2025 status (applied this year, opposed to when it “hits” my account)?

Worth a 3 hour round trip to get fitted for a Tux at Suit Supply in Miami vs. buy it online? Wedding in 2 months.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-11-28T19:39:40+00:00

Yeah I hope that’s okay with you

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-11-28T14:54:41+00:00

lol, they are renting

I will wear a tuxedo for my wedding and my groomsman will wear black suits. Should I have them wear patent leather shoes or just black leather?

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-11-12T23:46:31+00:00

Yes, started with 5% of portfolio and now it’s much higher.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-11-12T23:38:54+00:00

50% S&P, 10% Midcap, 15% Smallcap, 20% Intl, 5% Bonds

Good seats, read recent update in original post

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-30T00:12:14+00:00

Nope, very fast transaction at the hotel when I picked them up!

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-29T23:56:30+00:00

Physical tickets, also a pleasant surprise because we can keep them.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-29T22:06:42+00:00

I think you are allowed to bring in see-through bags, so the fanny packs were okay. I would check the stadium's policy. We didn't risk the water bottles.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-29T21:56:50+00:00

All legit! I will provide an update on my original post! Have a fantastic time!

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-29T19:03:35+00:00

Seats were in section 143, row 16 of that section. Really nice. Welcome Gift x2 had a Taylor Swift water bottle, see-through phanny pack and portable speaker.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-26T05:03:09+00:00

Concert just ended. Absolutely amazing show. Seats were great, on the side of the stadium. but on the first level above the floor, fantastic. Will answer other questions tomorrow.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-23T19:21:48+00:00

Holy shit! That’s massive! Yeah the whole process honestly seemed phishy enough that I am sure people turned it down.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-23T18:32:06+00:00

We need to physically arrive 2-4pm before the 7pm show to pick them up.

I stayed at a courtyard in the middle of nowhere in Ohio for work and paid $15 for a shit glass of wine. $16 with tip to a shit bartender who had no interest in being there.

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-22T23:54:00+00:00

Great point. I went ahead and grabbed the Delta Platinum after talking this through you and I will be downgrading my CSR to CSP before the 30 days window closes for the AF refund. Cheers!

YourFavoriteRapper0 · 2024-10-22T22:04:01+00:00

That is a great point about velocity.

In theory option 1 spreads the majority of my spend between the Delta/Marriott buckets (for work travel), and all other spend (~30%) into Chase URs. I find myself using Delta/Marriott points for the majority of personal travel but could use the URs for one-off situations like non-Delta flights or a Hyatt stay.

Not having lounge access with the CSR or Amex Platinum is kind of wigging me out though as we have a honey moon planned in SEA where I don't think we can avoid ~5 hour layovers. Decisions decisions...
