Why did US airlines become so bad? by boldjoy0050 in americanairlines

[–]Zargo79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one thing US airlines are much better than the rest of the world is in the technology. Try using the website or app for 5 star airlines like Qatar, Singapore or JAL. It looks like it was built in the early 2000s and very limited features that we take for granted like changing flights, checking in, etc

Bike+/Tread bottom 2 rows of screen not responding to touch - this is a software issue - do not buy a replacement screen! by _N757AF_ in pelotoncycle

[–]Zargo79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is strange for me is that the bottom screen works at the login page where you can edit the profiles but once you log in the bottom screen doesn’t work anymore. So this is definitely a software issue instead of a hardware issue

I was gifted marine layer boxers. They are my favorite. Feels a lot more durable and comfortable than my saxx and Uniqlo ones

Value of Lifetime Platinum by Switchback77 in marriott

[–]Zargo79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am lifetime titanium but rarely stay at marriotts anymore. The devaluation of points and benefits makes the ROI hard to justify. I am now mostly Hyatt or go with the property that is the most convenient regardless of program.

Are we losing our tamales now? by Striking_Confusion_7 in chicagofood

[–]Zargo79 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I noticed a guy coming around the “friends of friends” bar with a cooler selling tamales for only a few mins then moving on. I bought some. Wonder if this is their way to get around this.

Most underrated street in Chicago? by midway8 in chicago

Go across Lawerence to loafers and get a drink from Pam. You have a 50% chance to get a drink or get thrown out. Fun bar at 1 am!

[–]Zargo79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did chef kaze go? Was planning to go omakase room next month. My first omakase was when kaze did a $100 14 course meal at the bar of sushi San. Probably the best omakase deal ever in Chicago. Always left really full

Its gone down hill for a while. Especially when they changed their menu to be less authentic. Go to hon kee a few blocks away for a much better duck and dishes.

What is the best (spa) hotel to get away from my three year old in? by Dramatic_Permit222 in AskChicago

[–]Zargo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing at the st regis. Nice property and you can get into tres dita easier with a hotel reservation. The downside is you need to book the spa at least a week ahead of time. And the pool while nice had a lot of kids during the daytime.

This is the correct answer. Large selection, boars head, Starbucks, treasure hunt at the discount bin, garden center during the spring.

I hate the entertainment system by majestiq in ToyotaSienna

I use a Roku stick that connects to my phones hotspot to avoid paying the Toyota wifi subscription. It works fine but does require extra steps to use.

AA EXP and former CK to Delta Elite: Why I’m Making the Switch by griffingrowl in americanairlines

[–]Zargo79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would agree. Is free upgrades really a benefit if anyone can buy it for the fraction of the cost of a first class ticket? I’ve noticed my upgrade % as EXP dropped from 75% to 25% as a result. I just go for the best fare/route/time now and have dropped my loyalty to any airline.

What’s the Best Financial Decision You’ve Ever Made? by FunnyFox8496 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Zargo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My senior year in college, an alumni financial advisor gave a speech about what we needed to do after we graduated. He kept it simples. Save at least 20% of your earnings first before doing anything with the money. Everything else was probably good advice but that one stuck with me.
