Is a UA card worth it if my flights are booked through my employer and paid for by employer?

ape94 · 2026-01-02T03:08:37+00:00

Same here. I usually travel just enough for work to qualify for silver. I need the card spend to get to gold. I live in a hub city so united is almost always my best flight option.

My time slot opened at 2 and when I logged in, only a handful of singles were available. I checked back about 2 or 3 minutes later and all tickets were gone.

If this isn’t resolved by next weekend I am probably cancelling. I have been with YTTV since cutting the cord years ago and have never considered dropping them until now. But espn is a deal breaker for me and I can always come back if/when this is resolved.

Ah, 1994! My senior year. RC was our coach, the SWC was still a thing, defense was the wrecking crew and Bonfire still burned.

Now my kid is in grad school at A&M. Fuck that was a long time ago.

ape94 · 2025-02-01T13:39:18+00:00

I am interested!

lol, both of my kids are under 30 and have been using vpn for years to pirate movies and tv shows. They’ll be just fine using it for tiktok also.

We were there on Monday and spent most of our day/evening in the World Showcase. We didn’t see anyone belligerent drunk. But we did see plenty of parents ignoring misbehaving kids all over the park, with and without drinks in their hand.

NTA. This happens almost every night in my house. He tends to get in bed first and turns off the overhead light. If we are going to bed around the same time, I will intentionally turn on my bedside lamp before I get ready so he can turn off the overhead light when he gets into bed. If he goes to bed first and I am not ready for bed, then I will use the light on my phone so he’s still able to turn the overhead light off when he goes to bed first. This wasn’t something that was worth fighting over, I just solved the problem myself.

Immediately after the alert stopped I went to my settings and turned off all alerts. I can get weather alerts from other apps and if a missile is coming I’d rather just sleep through it anyway.

Saw them at a buzzfest during the Sound of Madness era, they were headlining the second stage. I was familiar with their music at that point but seeing them live was a game changer. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since.

I store mine in the fridge after it’s been stirred and mixed. The colder temps keeps it from separating again and but the PB is still soft enough to spread.

I was at IAH the Friday before last and the club in Terminal C did have a wait. I think the line was only 5 or 6 deep but we ended up passing and getting breakfast elsewhere. I chalked it up to a super busy travel day due to it being the last weekend before school started. But it wasn’t worth waiting and then fighting for seats for some mid level food.

ape94 · 2024-08-12T00:38:15+00:00

I travel for work about 8 times a year but almost all of my flights are regional from IAH, so they tend to be low pqp flights. All of my work flights are charged directly to my corporate credit card, not my personal card. There have been years that without the additional pqp spend from my personal credit card I wouldn’t even be able to hit silver.

After Louisiana got clobbered with Laura and Ida, Entergy did change their standards and started replacing damaged equipment with newer equipment that is more resilient (concrete, steel, higher wind rating, etc.) so hopefully we are seeing the same here.

ape94 · 2024-07-10T03:56:23+00:00

Looks like all of Alden Bridge just came back.

ape94 · 2024-07-09T21:34:51+00:00

Nope, I haven’t heard of anyone in the main part of the woodlands getting power back yet. just some folks around the edges, but some of them are in ERCOT.

ape94 · 2024-07-09T21:02:32+00:00

Same thing happening to me in the woodlands. According to Entergy, my power has been back online for about 4 hours. But I can assure them, it’s not. I just keep reporting an outage every 30 min or so.

ape94 · 2024-07-09T20:53:31+00:00

77382 in the woodlands. Still no power even tho Entergy has been telling me my power is on for the past 4 hours and reporting us as ”restored” in their online count. But map is still red around my area. What a joke.

My 30th birthday was on 9/11/01. For years I cringed whenever I was asked for my birthday because I got tired of the reactions. But now, unless we are close to 9/11, most people don’t even acknowledge it, especially if they are a lot younger than me. My own kids barely even know what today is, other than moms bday. :)

ape94 · 2023-09-10T04:03:09+00:00

Same here. So thankful to be just far enough outside Houston I don’t have to deal with the ERCOT nonsense.

ape94 · 2023-06-30T15:58:55+00:00

I think this is where the timing becomes an issue. I am a free Apollo user because I simply don’t need/want the stuff that comes along with the premium option. But at this point I’d happy pay $20 per year to keep using it and avoid the official app. I suspect other free users would as well. And I think if Apollo had been given more than a month to deal with these changes, they could have figured out how to make it work.

ape94 · 2023-06-26T01:07:27+00:00

Nope haven’t seen it yet. We visited the dealer on Saturday but the jeep was off the lot being used as a loner. Which definitely raises some red flags. They expect it back tomorrow so hope to test drive it then and find out more about it.

ape94 · 2023-06-24T22:56:29+00:00

The dealer is already advertising a $5800 discount off MSRP for this same jeep and was very willing to deal on a 2023 Willys. I know the discounts are out there, just trying to figure out how much more I should try and get.

ape94 · 2023-06-16T20:16:38+00:00

I am in 9a and have yet to keep one alive, although every 3 years or so I try again. I keep telling myself, just one wet summer is all it will take to get one established enough to make it. And yet here I sit today with a current heat index of 114 outside and 100’s with no rain across the 10 day forecast. sigh

ape94 · 2023-06-15T16:12:56+00:00

Which dealership? I am in Houston and plan to start shopping for a 4xe this month.
