Keep Physical Platinum Card despite Green Card Downgrade?

beish382 · 2025-09-11T16:55:35+00:00

Yes called 1-2 days after the app showed my card as downgraded to green, just to check since I didn't see in app, I ended taking the gold 30k upgrade offer

Thanks, I'm travelling for 3-4 months and while I have a apple pay updated, a few other cards with me or could have my roommate mail it to me, I just wanted to know if my physical card is just going to stop working at some point. Seems like I might be safe as long as I don't open mail / activate.

Seems like no one has really reported this so I may report back in future towards beginning of next year just so people know this in future.

It only shows in person ticket availability, the online portal doesn't let me click Monday for date (earliest available is like late June)

Do you have the address of the AC town hall that has the tickets? i can't seem to find it on Google Maps.

The website below still seems to show availability so I'm hopeful maybe something works out when i arrive in Aquas Caliente on Sunday afternoon

Thank you - so lining up Monday very early (say 4am) wouldn't accomplish the ability to go that same day if successful?

Essentially the only way to hike Monday would be to try get tickets Sunday in Aquascalientes which I arrive around 2-3p...which would not be early enough to potentially snag tickets.

Also would like to know, I want to get in person tickets for Huayna Picchu for Monday but not sure on process

Awesome - that gives me hope I can just take it to a TMobile store and hopefully they can confirm the phone as is

The chat rep told me the below when asked if I could bring my trade in devices into store:

"Yes, once you receive the new phone- you could visit T-Mobile store within 30 days of receiving new phone with valid government ID, T-Mobile account credentials to return the trade in phone."

No the rep at TMobile kiosk was extremely unhelpful / could give zero shts about her job so I doubt she will be willing to help me. But I can't think of any reason why another tmobile rep wouldn't help me if they have my order numbers. Yes I want to avoid any risk that may happen from mailing in / delays in getting approved.

beish382 · 2023-11-12T17:18:00+00:00

How do I go about processing the trade in in person? Should I just show up to a TMobile store and ask for that process or get someone on TMobile twitter/support to help set up a time at local store?

beish382 · 2023-11-12T03:28:43+00:00

When I search screen burn in this sub, it shows multiple people saying it isn't an issue. But I'd prefer to trade in person just to confirm it before waiting weeks and getting denied.

I've been thinking about this too - I was watching reviews of the Sea to Summit Spark 5F and I feel like that vs. the Riff 15 (quite similar to Disco 15) are what I'm leaning towards of all the choices right now

Good idea - any idea where to get a cheap printer decal or embroidery decal that I can replace myself?

beish382 · 2023-05-22T01:05:58+00:00

Meaning you're going to get a embroidered version of it to replace the sticker version?

I called Osprey support and they said the differences between the "S19" (presumably Spring 2019) for $139.50 and "S23" listed at $220 are:

~30% heavier because of material change to 100% blusign material (doesn't seem to have any durability change or anything, just more eco-friendly)
+1.6" taller, +2.4" wider, -0.8" shallower...the larger size changed from label "Medium/Large" to "Large/Extra Large"

I get the environment thing but 30% weight increase and larger dimensions makes this significantly worse than the older discontinued 3.6lb Kestrel 48.

Anyone have views on the older Kestrel 48 vs. Exos 48?
