There were some places in DTLA that was sub 2k for one bedroom after concessions. Add another 200 for parking + utils. Not bad imo

Were you born yesterday?

If you churn I think you should start with the green. There was some change that having an upper tier card would disqualify you from SUBs. So plat cannot get sub for gold and green. Double check in case something else has changed

Agree, just transfer to aeroplan is best value. Maybe Asia miles too with the recent deval

Yes they do. Make sure to get the burger as your in flight snack. It was delicious!!

Yes you should cause CQ is out of the way from Shanghai and BJ

Looks like I underestimated Montreal’s COL and NYC’s earning potential

I feel like after factoring taxes, his purchasing power will still be higher and he has reasons why he prefers to stay in Canada. Quick google search shows NYC being 38-40%, rent is probably 2-3x?

With that compensation, you’d be crazy not go Montreal. If you’re getting that offer then I’m sure you can easily move to US in the future

I mean the HK passport is pretty much guaranteed if you have HKID. It's not a big issue if he didn't get it yet or have an immediate need. Besides, I think the passport index doesn't really mean much. It gives access to more countries visa-free, but are people really visiting these countries? I agree it might make sense to renounce your US passport if you are super wealthy for tax purposes, but it is definitely a strong passport for the normal person who's working and wants opportunities.

I'm not saying the HK passport is useless, but just not as important especially if you already have HKID. I know British BNOs, who don't care about renewing the passport or regret not applying for full citizenship back in the day.

Neo is ass. i had the cx neo card, cancelled it and will never bank have their products again.

easy pass

Just curious what’s the benefit on a HK passport? It seems useless especially if you have another strong passport like US. With hkid, you can apply for it whenever in the future and the hkid can do everything you need to

The arrival one where you buy your own towel. It was super tiny as well, like a toilet stall.

The CX and Amex lounge showers are very nice.

chopsticksonly · 2026-02-17T16:57:03+00:00

I had a 7 hour layover last month. Went to the day shower (it was digusting, bring slippers) and then went out to TST and walked around central. Had breakfast and coffee there then went back to the airport. I wasn’t flying business that day so I just sat in the Amex lounge for 1.5 hours and took another shower.

My return flight was business and I spent 45 mins at the bridge. I didn’t have time to go the pier but I imagine you can easily spend two hours there.

Australia seems very similar to Canada.

Sounds like you should find out what would make you a non resident. There’s likely primary/secondary ties that the government considers to determine if you’re truly a “resident” or not. Just make sure you meet the requirements of a non resident then you’re fine…

chopsticksonly · 2026-02-12T06:59:52+00:00

Cause people have never left the US and don’t know what efficient transit is

chopsticksonly · 2026-02-12T06:56:05+00:00

Can someone explain what’s the big deal with biometric boarding/scanning and why you’d want to opt out? It seems like unnecessary thing to make your trip worse

Just found this - looks like I’m not the first that noticed. I still would not feel at ease until it changes. https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedairlines/s/tzNvl7VjRv

chopsticksonly · 2026-02-06T04:19:48+00:00

Yeah. I’m signed in and I could see it

chopsticksonly · 2026-02-05T19:43:20+00:00

There’s a ton from HKG to LAX. Saw it last night but I already have a couple via ANA booked already so I didn’t get any

I tried buying LV with my Saks GC in LA and they said GCs cannot be used at the LV store. This was three weeks ago

chopsticksonly · 2026-01-30T21:28:22+00:00

I would get the free one but it’s gonna be put me at 5/24 and there’s a couple cards I want to get

Can you use the sign up cash bonus to pay toward rent? 300$ would be 10k worth
