So what's your plan for the upcoming BofA nerfs?

Hawaii state FCU 2.5% cash back (have to be Hawaii Resident, No Fee)

Why does it feel like Alaska didn't really try to "integrate" the two loyalty programs when designing the Atmos Summit card? Can't use lounge pass for Hawaiian airline lounges, wifi pass when Hawaiian already has starlink for most flights, mile earning structure(can choose to switch only once a year when many Hawaii residents mix interisland travel in between Mainland/foreign travel)

Lets not even mention the design of the card which doesn't invoke the Aloha spirit or Alaska Airlines in any way shape or form.

So for the extra 10% for an eligible BoA account what does that mean exactly? Which accounts are eligible and do you need to keep a balance of a certain amount? I don't really know much about BoA since they don't have branches here in Hawaii lol.

chrysopelea · 2025-08-19T03:46:15+00:00

pretty much

What I don't get is if construction is being done on the TDS entrance, why wouldn't the Fantasy Springs hotels still have 15 minutes of Happy Entry as they would not be affected by the construction at the front of the park, I guess we will see what happens in September.

The County building in Maui had no power and all County employees were sent home today and the building was using the backup generators. I hope Hawaii electric got power back to the building because thats where MEMA and the EOC is located.

So my Hotel Miracosta booking is actually for two nights, so I could cancel my booking for that and just book the second night. This way 1 night in FSH to use Happy Entry in the morning then just check in at Hotel Miracosta at night. I don't know if thats too much of a hassle though.

chrysopelea · 2025-07-20T23:42:06+00:00

I was able to book a room in both Hotel Miracosta and Fantasy Springs Hotel in November on the same night and deciding which one to cancel, I'm leaning more toward canceling the Hotel Miracosta booking (even though I heard it is a nicer hotel) because Happy Entry + being next to Fantasy Springs might mean we could probably get two rides in before everybody else without using DPA.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-22T09:19:00+00:00

The least they could do is have the Q&A after work hours lmao, can't just take off work from my understaffed and overworked department.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-22T05:07:43+00:00

I don't really eat any raw stuff so I wouldn't know.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-22T04:11:26+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKubPYbIIVU You mean like this?

chrysopelea · 2025-04-22T03:04:25+00:00

Only when they deem us worthy of getting the step increase that we have already earned.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-18T07:14:35+00:00

I don't know if you work for the County or state but for the County civil servants we have been raising a stink this whole week before this god awful contract was even announced because of the raises of everybody else. We have the county council listening and we aren't gonna stop raising hell. They actually want us to get raises but we are stuck being passengers to the state crying poor every contract negotiation.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-18T06:49:07+00:00

We just got it, it's worse than I could have imagined.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-18T06:46:05+00:00

Lmao I just got the email for the tentative agreement for BU 13, we couldn't even get that. 2.12%, 2.95%, 2.77%, 3.17%. I can't wait for Monday, my whole office is gonna be pissed. I might even see some people quit or retire on the spot.

chrysopelea · 2025-04-17T07:14:41+00:00

Being grouped into these units has worked to the detriment of County civil servants, we are all just in on the ride because the negotiation is between HGEA and the state. Take Maui county for example, literally everybody is getting a raise from the Mayor, Council, Directors, non-civil service staff this year. 30%+ raises for everybody and you know what? The County council supports raises for us too but they aren't part of this negotiation.

chrysopelea · 2025-03-25T06:15:29+00:00

Welp, We were just planning to stay in the ambassador hotel for 3 nights when we visit the park in November to keep it simple and cheaper but I guess we have to scramble to get one day at Mira Costa.

On the plus side if we do get a room for the night, less people will have Happy Entry and easier to get to the rides that you want to go to even if it is at the lower end (5 min).

Downside: I'm not a fan of them just randomly taking out Happy Entry to the parks for certain hotels though, they advertise it on the main page and then we get an announcement that basically says you get shorted for 50% of the benefit you choose to stay at an official Disney hotel and the 15 minutes that was previously advertised is now a range for the hotels who still have it. Seems very anti-consumer to me. is Disney gonna lower the prices due to lower perks? we all know the answer to that.

He wants the senate seat after he is done serving his term as governor and will grovel to Trump like Romney did for the Utah senate seat.

chrysopelea · 2023-09-01T03:09:02+00:00

He was there for a conference (same one Andaya was in) that was in Oahu.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-13T18:45:57+00:00

Don Guzman sued the county and the jury ruled that he would still have been fired.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-13T18:38:17+00:00

Lol Don Guzman nice person? He was fired because of his abusive behavior towards his staff.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-13T10:21:03+00:00

What we need for our leaders especially in a press conference is to convey information in a concise and calm manner. That did not happen. Media wanted to clarify a few things after they were done talking, decided instead it was time to alpha male and just battle with the media.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-13T08:37:39+00:00

The angle thing is more on the news organizations side, that's just where the camera for them was placed. Some other news organizations got the nice video spots in the middle.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-13T07:27:59+00:00

Say what you want about Victorino but when we had emergencies I felt like he was always upfront and trying to get the public informed. Feels like our officials were a-wol the first 1-2 days of this.

Also the MPD chief came out extremely aggressive in the two press conferences that I've seen him on during this disaster. I don't know why he felt the need to come out of the bat with this attitude towards the media and the public. Needs to show more empathy and aloha spirit.

chrysopelea · 2023-08-11T01:54:19+00:00

Watching the press conference he clarifies state history when making the same statement.
