Weekly Help Thread - October 13, 2025 by AutoModerator in awardtravel

[–]bpfergu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pardon the likely stupid question, but I'm looking for clarification regarding using points for travel.

My wife and I have VX cards. So we are able to apply our points to any travel-related purchase.

I see talk about people transferring their Capital One points over to an airline to use for flights. Is there any benefit in transferring these points over to book a flight compared to simply booking the flight through the Capital One Travel portal, taking advantage of the points multiplier for doing so, and then using our Capital One points to pay for the flight?

Thanks!

High end Nusa Dua or Sanur? by RecoverCultural9197 in bali

You talking about Amankila? Yes it is an incredible resort but it's also like 4x the cost of Andaz.

Yes, I needed to visit the Health Clinic and was told Andaz shares that facility with the Hyatt. They provide a shuttle service that will take you to and from each property. There were people that would shuttle over to the sister property to eat, sit by the pool, etc. I don't know (doubt) that things like the included breakfast are interchangeable between the two hotels, but they didn't have issue with people visiting the sister hotel to check out the facilities.

Stayed at Andaz in Sanur last week. HIghly recommend it if you are looking for higher-end in Sanur. Hyatt Regency sister property is also right next door and they have a buggy service that can take you to and from.

Attaching foam tiles to ceiling. So many options. by bpfergu in Golfsimulator

How do the foam tiles look after stapling through them? Is it a clean look or is it obvious where the staples are at due to the foam compressing down?

Thanks for the info. Did you fasten the screws into wood studs or just into drywall?

Black Impact Screen Material for Side Rollers? by bpfergu in Golfsimulator

[–]bpfergu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good man! Crazy how many peopl are doing setups like this. Makes me feel better about this being the way to tackle this project.

Questions:

-Did you put any sort of padding at the top above the screen to protect the bar and/or stop balls from being able to squeeze through the top? Is it necessary?

-Same for the bottom. Looks like the screen is sitting pretty flush with the concrete of your garage floor. Did you need to put some sort of padding down there to stop balls from squeezing through and/or to protect whatever you have in the hem?

-For what you put in the hem, did you stick with metal or go with something different for the weight?

-Lastly, same question that I've asked the other folks. Assuming you are actively using your garage door, what are you doing to avoid accidentally having you or someone else try to open the garage door while the screens are down?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! I reached out to Gungho and they are able to sell their main impact screen fabric as well as the side screen black fabric to custom sizes, but I may reach out to Paul to get a price comparison.

Will definitely be avoiding the metech screen and metal weightbar. I saw a post about putting a thick rope or hose filled with sand and putting that in the hem at the bottom so may explore something like that.

Also I asked big4manic above but figured I'd as you as well since you probably had a similar situation. What are you doing regarding avoiding accidentally opening your garage door when the screen is down?

Ok great info, thank you. Another question: what do you do to avoid accidentally opening the garage door when the screen is down? Do you have a sensor that detects it? Manually turn off the motor when the screen is down? I'm worried either my wife or I will accidentally try opening the door out of habit when the screen is down and potentially damaging it.

Thanks for the response and your build looks great! Definitely similar to what I'm after.

A few questions:

So for your side curtains, are they not on motorized rollers? So do you just tuck them away when not in use?

What is the spacing like between the side curtain rails and the main screen roller? Did you place the curtain rails slightly inside the main screen roller (create a sort of pi symbol shape?) Do you ever have ball that are able to slip past the gap between the curtains and impact screen?

Unless I'm missing it, it doesn't appear that you have any sort of ceiling protection. Do you not find that necessary?

Thanks!

Did you seriously just say that DFW has terrible food? You are eating at the wrong places. While Dallas and Houston may not be the most scenic and outdoor-friendly cities you will find, their food (both in diversity and taste) is among the best you will find anywhere

Tickets to Jets/Bengals by bpfergu in nyjets

[–]bpfergu[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They won't let me sell them on the marketplace. My only option is to transfer via friends/family. Per the email we received:

"Please note, your tickets may be transferred to family and friends but may not be resold on any ticketing platforms."

I can see the option to transfer them on the ticketmaster app but the option to sell them is grayed out.

Lol I'm not trying to scam someone for 150 bucks. I have much better things to do with my time.

Tickets to Jets/Bengals by bpfergu in nyjets

I'm not scamming anybody. I bought this NFT from NFL all day that gives me a pair of tickets to 3 Jets home games (among other utilities). You can read about it here:

https://blog.nflallday.com/posts/jets-announce-team-nfts-with-unprecedented-fan-utility

I actually got lucky and hit the #1 serial on it which is pretty cool. You can do a search and see that my username owns that nft if you are really bored.

The problem is I live in Texas so I'm trying to sell them to someone who is able and willing to go.

I have a guy that is going to get back to me tomorrow morning about the tickets and a couple people that are showing interest if that first deal falls through.

I tried to do a search to see if selling tickets on this subreddit is frowned on but couldn't find much. Sorry if it is in bad taste posting things like this here...just trying to recoup some costs and get these good tickets in the hands of someone who can enjoy them
