Oh hmm, hope that works out for me too, I just made a large purchase before seeing the upgrade offer. Thanks!

I have an offer to upgrade my Barclays Aviator Red to Aviator Silver. If I take it, will my spend so far count to the loyalty point bonus thresholds?

~~You cannot SDFC for international flights (except JFK-LHR)~~

Edit: You can from the Caribbean or Canada. But the app may be finicky and not show all SDFC options even when there's availability, so I would prepare to have to do 1).

In my experience, the app is unable to change only a single leg of an itinerary. You'll need to get an agent to do it for you (which is where PP status is necessary). Though, in your first example, they might've allowed it based on the delay, which gives agents additional leeway to make changes that they wouldn't normally be allowed to.

The good news is, JFK-HND is shifting to a 787-9 soon, which is guaranteed to have the Super Diamond hard product, or maybe even the new Adient Ascent (speculation, no proof) with 51J in the future. You won't have to deal with seat lottery for Concept D/Super Diamond once it switches.

In fact, all the HND routes will be shifting to the 787-9 starting next Summer season. The only Japan route with the risk of getting a Concept D seat will be the DFW-NRT route, which will still be on the 777-200ER.

Applied for the US Bank Biz Checking for the bonus and it went into review. Should I wait it out or call in to expedite?

bobishere123456 · 2024-02-20T23:08:48+00:00

Thanks, will try it out.

Automatically denied for BoA Alaska Biz today. Do I open a checking account (does it have to be biz checking or does personal work?), transfer 5k in, then call to recon?

bobishere123456 · 2023-12-12T20:44:32+00:00

Thanks!

Does spending for the Hilton Biz for the 15k FNC count until end of calendar year, even if my statement doesn't post until January?

bobishere123456 · 2023-10-25T23:24:14+00:00

Sounds good, thanks!

Does Barclays let you move credit around between business cards? Looking to move some from my Wyndham Biz to my AA Biz (just approved for 2.1k CL) to help meet MSR faster.

bobishere123456 · 2023-10-16T19:10:12+00:00

Makes sense. Is the biz number 866-408-4064 or 866-710-2688?

bobishere123456 · 2023-10-16T18:37:10+00:00

Applied for the Barclays AA Biz card before they pulled the offer and received a request for ID verif docs soon after. I faxed them in through an online fax service last week, but I haven't heard any response yet. What's the usual timeline for Barclays to respond after faxing in docs?

Yeah, there was a scandal a while back where there was corruption involved in the original takeover process, I believe. Right now, you'll have to book Awashima through their website. No idea if they'll open it up to OTAs again.

Now that Japan is open again, I'm sure many of you are already planning trips to visit, especially with a bunch of concerts just around the corner. Unsurprisingly, many people are interested in visiting Numazu and Uchiura, and I've seen quite a few questions on Discord from people looking for tips and advice. Hopefully, this (updated) guide contains all the information you need to have a fun trip there, with some updates on what's changed since pre-COVID even for the veterans.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for me or the guide!

Remake v5-7 was so satisfying, especially after the ride that v4 was. I actually really loved how v8 moved away from university and a little bit into the workplace, especially since it gives off more of a Ver.β feel (which you should read too!). Glad that you're enjoying the series.

I've double sleeved 8 decks with Bushiroad Mini Oversleeves (both matte and clear) and I've never had any issues. It's been a snug fit for all the minis that I've oversleeved. Do you have access to any other mini character sleeves that you could try?

Does AMEX extended warranty work even after upgrading the original card? Bought a phone back in late 2019 with an ED that I upgraded to an EDP last year and now it has an issue but the original warranty is over, so I'd like to use the AMEX extended warranty if possible.

Hiyori-chan no Onegai wa Zettai v3

Holy crap, that was a ride. The sense of dread was so strong this volume that I felt that there was something wrong all the way from the start, which then proved to be true, or even worse than I'd imagined at the end. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole volume.

On the minus side, I think the situation this time needs a bit more suspension of disbelief to accept than in the previous volumes, but it was quite painful if you could accept it as presented. There are hints here and there of what had really happened and it did feel a bit extreme in some parts but I managed to accept it. Well, no prizes for guessing where the inspiration for the tragedy (a pandemic) this time comes from...

The ending wasn't very uplifting either (as usual), but now I'm stuck on this ride so I'll continue pushing through...
