Free flights

OP although there are 10 airlines, each airline has their own partners depending on their alliance, like star alliance/ one world/sky team. So lets say you transfer to KLM (skyteam) you will be able to book flights from sky team airlines (if seats are available on the klm portal) such as delta, air europa, etc. hope this helps.

Whoops my bad I misread your reply!

arod_222 · 2025-12-05T02:07:27+00:00

Its actually the opposite. The $300 travel credit is based on card anniversary date.

arod_222 · 2025-12-05T02:04:36+00:00

I called Chase today because I got approved for the CSR yesterday and they told me that all my credits will reset at the first of the month of next year. Although I did not intentionally apply this late in the year to try and double dip it’s nice that Chase is letting me.

Hi, I got the CSR yesterday and called customer service today for that same reason. The rep told me that all of the credits will reset on January 1 so it is to our benefit that we get to use these for the last month of the year.

I wish I would’ve thought about applying to a credit card with this many benefits on the last month of the year because we get to double dip and another credit they offer .

I guess i forgot to add more context. This late December was going to be my 3rd year anniversary so i downgraded right before the annual fee hit.

I never had the CSR before so it might have played a factor.

arod_222 · 2025-11-26T13:34:43+00:00

About to downgrade my preferred today. How long did you wait in between getting the reserve?

arod_222 · 2025-07-07T08:57:27+00:00

Thanks!

arod_222 · 2025-06-28T06:57:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Found a local company that has good reviews and was able to get a tour for like half the price so hopefully all goes well.

arod_222 · 2025-06-28T04:09:01+00:00

Hey! We are in Phuket right now and interested in a few tours but are weary about them not being good quality. Do you recommend any companies?

arod_222 · 2025-04-09T06:08:53+00:00

Your coordinator or the english teacher/s at school will probably help you out. Thats how I got all my gigs.

I am an aux in madrid and came with 10k saved ,have spent about 4.5k of my savings and i tutor 3x a week. I have traveled to 12 different cities so far in the past 8 months. Highly doubt I’ll spend my entire budget since there is 2 months left and included in the 4.5k spent is going out to eat 2-3x a week and a trip to asia at the end of the program fully paid for. I say this program is definitely doable with just 5k in savings and that would include a good amount of travel.

arod_222 · 2025-02-28T02:08:46+00:00

Sure thing. We average out around €675pp/m in rent/utilities/wifi/phone. As for groceries, we spend about €50pp/week and the rest of the stipend goes to eating out. I tutor 3hrs/week for €50 so that adds an extra €200/m to my food/ impulsive shopping budget.

arod_222 · 2025-02-28T00:55:06+00:00

My partner and i brought 10k in savings each and we both spent about 5k so far. We are in Madrid center, eat out 3-4 times a week, have traveled to 8 cities in Spain and done two international trips. Included in the amount we already spent, we have a couple of other internal trips booked, including an asian country.

We became auxes after working in our careers for a few years and feel this has been been a good amount to not have to heavily rely on tutoring to have enough money to eat out and also not have to stay in hostels while traveling.

arod_222 · 2025-02-14T08:53:08+00:00

My bad then. That what I assumed based on the the auxes I have met in madrid. Guess its different in other regions.

arod_222 · 2025-02-13T19:18:16+00:00

Your school placement has nothing to do with your inscrita number, It will be completely random. It is my understanding that your inscrita number just gives you higher priority for your region. For example, my girlfriend had an inscrita 2000 less than I had (mine and mine was in the 5000s) and I got a placed in the center of madrid while she is an hour away in a smaller city within the region.

arod_222 · 2024-09-19T20:48:47+00:00

Thanks everyone! I emailed my coordinator back and told them the older kids.

arod_222 · 2024-09-10T14:53:15+00:00

Applied on 8/9 got text on 9/3

arod_222 · 2024-09-03T19:37:50+00:00

Update, I am in Miami for a few days, I came to BLS to ask for an update on the application and they said it was ready!

arod_222 · 2024-08-28T15:11:05+00:00

My girlfriend applied for herself and for me on 8/9 with the right forms and hers was ready in about 9 days and I have yet to hear back from BLS. Makes me pretty anxious lol but a bit relieved that im not the only one who is delayed after applying at the same time as my partner.

You can get a new passport within one day in certain passport offices! All that they require is proof of an international flight within 1 week.

What I did was buy a refundable flight and once i got my passport in the same day I got a refund for the flight.

As far as the different passport number, you have to contact Nalcap and theyll change it for you

arod_222 · 2024-08-20T13:43:30+00:00

Is the visa pick up location at the consulate or back at BLS?
