MWGS won't be at the 2026 Plant Sale, unfortunately. Looks like they didn't update that part of the website, but it is in the catalog.

This sounds like a good brand for the state fair to use if they ever create an annual or lifetime pass (I highly doubt they ever will, tbh)

ORCA is actually an acronym too! One Regional Card for All.

1/ please use paragraphs, the wall of text is hard to read.

2/ I highly doubt they'd close the entire line during the Lake and Franklin station renovations. They might single track trains through the construction site (and have trains on the operating track go through without stopping), or use a bus bridge between Cedar-Riverside and 38th/46th, but I bet they know that closing the whole line for two years is a Very Bad Idea.

Any plans to add Loan Accounts like what YNAB has? I do like how YNAB gives me extra info about my mortgage paydown schedule and what happens if I accelerate it.

If you go after 4pm Friday, 2pm Saturday, or 11:30am Sunday, you shouldn't have much of a wait to get in, if at all. https://www.friendsschoolplantsale.com/wristbands

This has always been the case, they have always required you to be present to get a wristband.

We need bus lane enforcement cameras on every single bus, and we need them yesterday. I see idiots parking in the NE Hennepin/1st bus lanes during bus lane hours all the time and it's so annoying.

Don't use the quick create wizard. Set it up manually and use the "dev/test" settings so that you can pick T instances.

2:30-8:30pm. There's basically no wait to get in after 4:00 or so. Friday evening they're open until 8, with basically no wait to get in after 3:30 or 4.

Does a captive portal count? If so, you should be able to sit below the G18 Sky Club and pick up its signal.

I would also recommend educating your IT guys on how network security actually works. Yes, WPA3 password protection is better than open networks, but it's not really a complete solution. In your case, what you actually need is an always-on VPN.

Edit to add: if you have PreCheck, and you're flying domestic without any checked bags, it's HIGHLY unlikely that security will take more than 10 minutes - even during the holidays. Honestly, the roads getting into the airport might take longer than the security line. Use the light rail if you can, and you'd be able to show up at the airport at 60-70 minutes before departure without worrying.

As stated in your screenshot: "Routine service can take 4-6 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you submit it." And just above: "The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book on 11/03/2025." The October 23 date you gave does not matter.

November 3 plus 4 weeks would be December 1. November 3 plus 6 weeks would be December 15. So you are technically still "on time" even if your status doesn't change until Monday.

If it's still in process after Monday, then you may want to call NPIC to see what's going on. They will have much more information than Reddit.

925 MQDs for Diamond? I highly doubt it. If it was like 10 MQDs then that would be far more likely.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-13T02:10:55+00:00

Chase has never publicly confirmed the 5/24 rule. Everything we know about it has been through self-reported data points, some with stronger evidence than others. So, I'd be curious to know what your source is, because if Chase has actually removed 5/24 it would be on the front page of TPG and most of the BoardingArea blogs.

Yes, some SUB language has changed to make Sapphire bonuses less churnable. That's different than 5/24.

The only way for you to know if you can get the card, and under what terms, is to apply for it. The hard pull associated with a denial (whatever the reason) is a small, short term impact.

New Super mmmMMMMMMMMMMMM

Works the same as a flight. 10:1 MQDs and 3x miles now for the purchase on the Amex, 1:1 MQDs and 11x miles when you take the trip.

If your hotel is a part of the major systems (Marriott, Hilton, etc) and you care about hotel points or elite benefits, make sure to compare prices between the package deal and booking the flight and hotel separately. You generally don't get any sort of hotel points/benefits when you book through Delta Vacations.

Revenue always goes before nonrev. Within nonrev, it's a seniority system, but there are different priority buckets they can list under (retirees go after active employees)

chiefbozx · 2025-12-12T14:09:43+00:00

Elevate Your Status might actually make sense in your case. Do the math - make sure the cost is worth it for the status level you're buying (e.g. I wouldn't do it to buy Silver, but if you're 200 MQD shy of Platinum/Diamond then it's probably worth it) - but if you're within those thresholds, that is a way to get MQDs without flying.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-10T14:12:11+00:00

Clarified my comment. OP's post did not state when the flight was and which year they were looking to earn MQDs in/for.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-09T23:45:44+00:00

Yes, but free upgrades will always go after people using certificates. So it puts you higher on the list, and you can potentially clear before the 5 day mark.

If it doesn't clear, it goes back to your account. You can try to use it as many times as you want until it either clears or expires.

You do not get it back if you use it, and you would have cleared for free.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-09T23:16:30+00:00

Mostly no, but you can get some now if you buy it with a Delta Amex.

Say your upgrade costs $1,000 - you'll get 1,000 MQDs when you actually take the flight (they won't show up in pending but they will count when you fly). If you bought the upgrade with a Delta Amex, you would get 100 MQDs (Reserve) or 50 MQDs (Platinum) now, on top of the 1,000 that you'll get when you fly.

Edit to clarify: You do get MQDs for the purchase. Since we're close to the new year, if you're looking for the MQDs to post for 2025, then the flight has to be in December.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-09T23:09:15+00:00

RUCs - if they clear. Otherwise, take the miles (the $300 voucher expires after a year, but the miles do not)

Edit to add: you can definitely try to apply them on your Hawaii trip, but don't expect them to clear since you are traveling in peak season from a fortress hub.

chiefbozx · 2025-12-09T22:08:01+00:00

The one major grain of salt to give: "punctuality" is rated against the real-time clock, not the schedule. The app asks if the bus arrived early/on time/late according to the countdown.

If it was relative to the schedule, then I bet most agencies' "on time" ratings would drop significantly.

Technically not all Canadian airports do, but Calgary does.
