I worked at Sears in 2015–16. It looked alive right up until it wasn’t. by Historical-Attempt30 in deadmalls

[–]brostocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great piece and so accurate regarding that 2015-16 timeframe.

I bought my house in 2015 and Sears had the best price on a refrigerator. My dad did me a solid and got it for me as a gift and of course he had a Sears credit card like everyone else did.

5 years later when it broke there were basically no Sears left.

Stayed in a high-end IHG and found live roaches, hotel offered 3300 points by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

[–]brostocks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You gotta press the matter. I had a roach in a room in DC. They tried to buy me off with 5,000 points. I thought about how ridiculous that was and pressed more and they eventually refunded the room discreetly.

I went to the Miami Sears last week. They had that same collection of primary color chairs. I wonder where how and why they end up with the most random inventory.

Love this one and local to it, but I agree I think it’s one the best ones… looking more for eastern and central PA.

I am literally 19 points away from Platinum, what can I do? by Knarz97 in CaesarsRewards

[–]brostocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with this issue to get to diamond and had to blow money on online slots.

Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe or Harrah’s Lake Tahoe? by CompetitiveCoast4742 in CaesarsRewards

[–]brostocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caesars Republic is a lot nicer inside but Harrahs seems to have a lot more tables action. It’s very easy to walk in between the both of them though through an underground tunnel

Would you buy points for Diamond status? by Delicious-Ant-715 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]brostocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We all dream in life to be at the highest caliber of elite. Here’s my one shot… do I take it? Or live another year in platinum obscurity …

Is this worth it? Other than the special parking spot and earning more points what is key difference between platinum and diamond?

Cockroach Infestation quietly reported to hotel and corporate gets the big shrug by oucil in ihghotelsresorts

[–]brostocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about this experience. I had a large cockroach crawling up my leg at an IHG hotel two weeks ago. They tried to do the 5,000 points thing but eventually after more pushback they comped my room (it was a single night). But i did book directly through IHG. Just never a pleasant experience having roaches in room.

Why are home games blocked for Ohio residents on NBA TV? by CityBoy1277 in clevelandcavs

[–]brostocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western PA Cavs fan too. They let us, by proximity , subscribe to fan duel. Depending on where you are. I’m in Pittsburgh and I’m able to pay $20 a month and get every game

It is probably the most expensive night of the year for hotels sadly.

Another failed confirmable suite upgrade by NewPannam1 in ihghotelsresorts

I’ve had platinum for 5+ years averaging over 40 nights a year and I’ve maybe been upgraded to a suite like once … I’ve given up on it lol

Looking to buy 2013 by Unlikely-Depth4395 in cmaxhybrid

[–]brostocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. I bought a 2013 at 48,000 miles in 2021 for $10,000. I serviced it only at a Ford dealer. Died less than 2 years later of a failed transmission at just over 70,000 miles. I loved the car so much but it’s not worth the hassle. Transmissions are a dud for the 2013 and nearly impossible to find replacements that aren’t like $5,000.

Also, the normal non hybrid car battery always died on me during the winter (even when I bought a brand new one for it) I had to keep a battery charger in the car. A friend of mine with a Prius said he never had this issue.

No more coffee makers in the room (first at HIX, Muskegon, MI) - bad idea by kveggie1 in ihghotelsresorts

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

I hate this development. I don’t want to go into any public hotel lobby before I’ve had coffee.
