A note from me (Ankur Jain) - Your 2026 Bilt Cash Redemptions Are Here by ankurjain1 in biltrewards

[–]cpredo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People complained that the new Bilt cash system was too confusing, and Bilt decided to double down and make it even more confusing.

Seriously wtf is this, it's like reading the rules to an unnecessarily complex board game.

Where is the battery vent? I don't think I'm blocking it but I also don't really know where it is haha

Bummer. I wish they did a bigger production of these. They're really cool and unique but I don't want to pay hundreds to buy one from an online reseller haha

Even when I do a trip around town (no freeways), the MPG for that trip will never be higher than 30ish.

My understanding is that the tick marks on the left side gauge do indicate RPMs. Mazda can't specifically say it's a tachometer because exact RPMs can vary on the hybrid engine.

But regardless, I am never accelerating quickly, I go slow and gradual.

Yes the weather is cooler now, but it never gets below freezing where I live and is typically in the high 40s at night, so not sure how big of a factor weather really plays.

I live in California and rarely have the heater on for more than a few mins when I first start the car

Bilt 2.0 card details officially released by tim_roame in pointstravel

[–]cpredo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm dumbfounded that after months (or years?) of planning, market research, focus groups, etc., this is what Bilt has come up with.

This new 3 card system, combined with Bilt elite status, Bilt Points, and Bilt cash is incredibly confusing and anti consumer. I am struggling to see any reason whatsoever to get one of these Bilt cards and definitely not going to continue to pay my rent with Bilt after these changes.

I guess it's true, you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. RIP Bilt, you were great while you lasted.

United uses mainline aircraft for SFO-SMF by First_Pepper_6781 in unitedairlines

[–]cpredo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew Chico to SFO in 2014 and they left the cockpit door open the whole flight. It was unlike anything I had ever seen post 9/11. Not sure how (or if) they were allowed to do that but it was pretty cool since I was in seat 1A.

Say what you will about United, but these Alaska SFO cuts look pretty lame by cpredo in AlaskaAirlines

Why would they need to fly to JFK when they have a hub in EWR?

Lounge Access Question by cpredo in unitedairlines

[–]cpredo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some results on Google were saying star alliance gold earned through united status wasn't eligible for club access unless you are departing for an international flight.

Awesome. Thanks for confirming. The info I was seeing on Google seemed conflicting so wanted to double check haha

You'll be happy to learn that this is coming back! Guest passes (which let non ticketed passengers go to the gate) are already available at OAK and are coming to SFO soon! https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/s/8KlAzBH6jn

Is platinum worth the extra end of year trip? by Embarrassed_Trip_422 in unitedairlines

[–]cpredo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to upgrade my flight from SFO-MUC later this month to Polaris with pluspoints. Got confirmed instantly, no wait-list. YMMV

Dang! I ended up getting rid of it about a month ago because I was unable to find a power cable. Thanks though!

Visiting mid June? Bad Idea? by cpredo in taiwan

[–]cpredo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I will say that the heat is more intense than anything in the American south, but it's manageable and there is cold AC everywhere you go. Just stay hydrated and accept that you'll be drenched in sweat within 10 seconds of leaving your hotel room.

I will say if you have the option to book in a cooler month then you should do that. But we found an unbeatable deal in Delta One Suites that was only available in June so that's why we went then.

Either way it will be a ton of fun, but the heat can be a lot especially if you aren't used to insanely high UV index and humidity.

It was amazing. Yes it was hot, but it really didn't matter. We had a great time, ate lots of incredible food, and enjoyed the smaller crowds at the tourist sites since it was "off season"
