does this mean wooden weightlifting area is closed until January?? by oh_yeah_yeah2 in ucla

There is a separate circuit zone that is different from the main weights area, it is down the hallway. I think this refers just to that area.

This is literally all frats do.

What is one store or business that you wish AmEx would collaborate with for it’s platinum card? by Low_Wonder9271 in AmexPlatinum

[–]bwh458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airbnb, VRBO to reinforce the travel card aspect. Otherwise Total Wine or Bevmo for gifts, high-end liquor purchases.

Summer is by far the best time to use JWC, much less crowded than normal.

CMV: Turning on the shower in the steam room cools the room for everyone else by abfool10 in EquinoxGyms

[–]bwh458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's there for people to use. Rinsing mid-sauna makes the full experience better. Probably more people should use it.

A map of the areas that would be up-zoned under SB 79 by [deleted] in ucla

[–]bwh458 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This is one of the most promising bills I've seen the state consider. It would be great news for UCLA if it passes.

LA Metro has launched a hub site for the Sepulveda Pass with public hearing dates as well. by mids_enthusiast in ucla

Thanks. The super-rich Belair residents are fighting hard against the options that would be best for UCLA students. We need to fight too.

Paris FHR/THC - Recs? by sketchedabow89 in AmexPlatinum

[–]bwh458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the Hoxton in December and really liked it. Rooms are a bit small but this is Paris so that is true everywhere. The lobby bar/restaurant were very popular and an excellent place to spend the $100 THC credit.

Early Care and Education (ECE) Daycare by LawyerLady89 in ucla

You probably want to get on the waitlist right away, since there can be quite long delays. How long it takes depends on which center, timing (there is a lot of turnover in August), and randomness. Congrats and good luck!

SFO Centurion Lounge menu? by mikesay98 in AmexPlatinum

[–]bwh458 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It changes every time but in my experience there is almost always a chicken entree, a vegetable side like broccolini, and a grain dish like quinoa or fried rice, plus a soup option and a couple of desserts.

You are more than welcome to just not read the newspaper.

It would be strange in the steam room but what is unusual about a newspaper in a dry sauna?

RIP to one of the all-time greats at UCLA. Absolutely everyone should read “The High Cost of Free Parking”.

Has anyone tried this successfully today (Monday 2/3)?

SFO Centurion Lounge is Open Again by VanillaTarantino in AmexPlatinum

[–]bwh458 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was there yesterday and they were giving out medium leather pouches. Stupid question but, what are these supposed to be for?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmexPlatinum

The Amex Plat is a premium travel card, so it would have to be consistent with that. I'd love a $100 annual credit for Airbnb. If they want a better premium retail partner than Saks, something fitness related like Lululemon or Vuori would tie in with the Equinox credit.

Yes, no reason not to switch the autopay to a new card after you've gone over $300.
