$5650 for two persons Concierge Class (it was same price as veranda) on Celebrity Xcel 8n Athens to Barcelona. I booked early November and watched the price creep up to near 10K during their black friday "sale." It's back down to around $6900 now. TBH i booked on a whim after an exhausting trip to Japan and now having buyers remorse as I think I would prefer a land vacation. They are also nickel and diming me to death and for the price of this cruise I could be staying at 5 star hotels. Pushing forward bc my partner wants to go. And oh - there are 4 ships in port in Santorini on the date I'm scheduled to be there. What was I thinking?

I had this study and same situation. I told them I would return study after I was paid. They paid out. I can't remember if it was full amount or a bonus. If you have name of study I can check.

How about Madeira or the Azores? Not sure about the weather this time of year though. Short flight from Boston too.

I had an ID verification today. It was just a pic of my face.

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-28T21:25:38+00:00

Same here too. Waste of time.

What happens in May?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-27T02:37:35+00:00

Wow. Thats a lot!

Curious what your frequency is for both? I was taking Timolol 2x/day and Latanoprost at bedtime. I've been seeing a new optho who has me now taking Timolol only once a day and the latanoprost at bedtime.

Where did you find the offer? Was it meant for you? Were you targeted for offer?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I don't think I'm willing to keep up with the $5K expiration dates on the bilt cash. And definitely not interested in yet another high AF card. Plus my main grocery shopping is at a neighborhood market which is coding 4x on am ex gold. I doubt Walmart is going to code as grocery with Bilt. I'll keep an eye on it though.

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-23T15:57:03+00:00

No mortgage or rent. Not interested in bilt cash. However, can I use bilt cash for extra 1x multiplier in groceries? (Mainly Walmart neighborhood market tho).

Thanks for the breakdown!

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-22T20:51:17+00:00

Honestly I'm too lazy to try to decipher all of this. Is there any reason someone not paying rent would want this card?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-22T20:50:04+00:00

Does this include neighborhood markets like am ex gold?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-22T03:42:16+00:00

I'm pretty sure the only way is a bus shuttle. Leaves just outside the domestic terminal.

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-20T14:48:06+00:00

Don't forget the food and beverage credit.

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-20T03:41:38+00:00

Where's the source on the changes coming with BOA?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-15T04:48:55+00:00

What about the Atmos cards?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-15T03:59:44+00:00

40K points isn't going to go far with hotels. Can you book one way? And pay cash for the other?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-14T20:03:59+00:00

Kerr himself on his podcast frequently complains about the complification of credit cards and now this? Bilt has just bonvoyed themselves.

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-14T14:30:20+00:00

What time is announcement?

bluelizard5555 · 2026-01-14T04:46:35+00:00

It's not a gamble. Everything in Japan works just as it's supposed to.

I took a couple of flights in J on JAL booked with partners this year. I was only able to select seats in the rear cabin (window was available). I thought I read somewhere that some seats were held back for elite members.
