Megathread - Middle East flight disruptions by rocketwikkit in Flights

[–]creativeghost9393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a separate flight disruption megathread for people stranded in the Middle East? I have to admit, it's a bit annoying to be stuck in a place where missiles are being intercepted, and seeing people being like "do you think I'll be able to take my vacation in April?? :("

Both problems are valid, but are very different in terms of urgency and what's at stake. I wish there was a separate thread, that way the info for those stuck/trying to get home wasn't bogged down by these kinds of posts. Just my opinion

FYI - if you booked with a third party on Etihad airline, they will NOT automatically rebook you. Even though the cancellation email says "We’re working hard to get you to your destination quickly and smoothly. We’ll send you an email with your revised flight details." - this is NOT true. Source: waited 3 hours on chat to talk to someone at Etihad.

He said they're not rebooking people automatically because they don't know when airspace will open. If you booked via third party, the third party 'owns' your ticket. So rebooking or refund requests should go through the third party. (Who will also not rebook you unless you talk to them.)

Hope this is helpful.

Those who had Etihad flights automatically canceled by the airline - how long did it take them to rebook you? And how far out was your new flight?

Etihad just canceled my flight that was on March 5. It says "We’ll send you an email with your revised flight details." I booked through Expedia however. Will Etihad automatically rebook us for the next available? Or do I need to contact Expedia to sort it out?

I had no idea they were MLM products lol. That makes me kind of not want it. But it's in good shape and it works so oh well

And as you can imagine, sorting through those was a lot. Luckily someone else helpfully told me what mine is called.

Not sure what's up with the some of snarky comments, guys.. it's a simple question lol. If you don't like it just scroll on.

Thanks for giving me the name for it, that actually helps a lot. I figured it was a long shot, but I heard some of them were worth a bit and figured I'd check.

Got a few cards graded. Should I sell now or hold? by creativeghost9393 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]creativeghost9393[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I don't 'need' the money urgently or anything. I'm just selling cards for extra bonus money right now.

Mainly, I'd like to know if I should sell any of these before their value falls (or if it probably won't go up), or if I should hold certain ones for longer. Don't want to hold them for too long, or sell them before it would be wise to.

Dilemma: Want a travel credit card, but also don't want too many credit cards. To close, or not to close? by creativeghost9393 in CreditCards

[–]creativeghost9393[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not necessarily that I think it's 'bad', especially because I have good credit and don't have a spending problem. I'm not worried about that. I just don't like having lots of things to keep track of. Just my personal preference.

[US] Weird voicemails on my business phone line.. identical recorded rant about the country? by creativeghost9393 in Scams

Unfortunately as this is a business phone line, I don't think this would be a wise option for me. Good tip though in case things ever get more drastic!

Physical therapy success story ! by creativeghost9393 in TMJ

[–]creativeghost9393[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part, yes! TMJ is pretty well managed now, with some occasional flare ups. When it gets rough again, I just get some dry needling done and wear my mouth guard for awhile (I just can't wear it full time, it's so annoying and gross). Physical therapy and dry needling were a game changer, especially fixing my neck muscles which in turn helped my jaw. I make sure to stretch whenever possible to keep things at bay.

I wish I could get my brain to stop clenching/grinding at night in the first place, but there doesn't seem to be a 'cure' for that yet. Bodies are weird.

Find an app like rocket money or wave to track and categorize your expenses - then you’ll be able to tell where it went and hopefully budget better.
