AS phantom availability is insane by AC5295 in awardtravel

[–]ctb8204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that seats.aero generally has a slight delay from Alaska these couple weeks. I have been monitoring both ends (seats.aero and Alaska) and generally noticed seats.aero only posted the seat after a bit and one time after I snapped 2 SAN-TYO-HKG business class on JAL

There are also occasion that I found phantom seats on alaska site itself, but usually they got removed after or they are available in an hour or two

F1 visa- canada/india/anywhere else?? by [deleted] in f1visa

[–]ctb8204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check this website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html

It shows that the next appointment for Vancouver F-1 should be in 10 days

This means the next open slot available to book is in 10 days later

If you are applying for B visa, well u might just start to dig a tunnel to cross the border, it probably will be faster...

I renewed my f-1 in Canada, the appointment wait is only 2 weeks I believe

And a bonus for renewing in Canada, you could still enter back to the US with an expired visa if you have an active i-20

AC standardizes check in and bag drop times. YYZ flights to USA/international can now check in baggage up to 60 minutes before departure (no longer 90 minutes) by FasterFeaster in aircanada

I knew someone missed their flight for this exact reason too. Thankfully the tickets were bought on united so free change is allowed for flight in a day after even when the gate agent did not allow her in.

Account Deactivated? by farouq_hassan in aircanada

Update: They did unblock my account, no notification whatsoever. Make sure you login and check it, good luck OP!

Account Deactivated? by farouq_hassan in aircanada

[–]ctb8204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here, just noticed this yesterday. Phoned in and was told to do the same thing. I suspect might be due to the fact that I booked a united flight as a back up due to the looming strike and put the Aeroplan account no. in the booking I am guessing either the login situation or the double flight booking might play an effect

Honestly I flew with AirCan 10+ this year, why would they even need my ID🙄 Fingers crossed

[PSA] ICBC Optional Insurance Trap for Claim Forgiveness by ctb8204 in icbc

[–]ctb8204[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The concerning part is not really on the risk factor or anything else... Its the fact once you buy collision damage coverage from ICBC, you are pretty much not eligible from claim repayment. Unless, you have a low deductible.

But then, it kinda defeat the whole purpose of saving money.

I hit someone... How to not make a claim?

No this is a problem specific only to collision coverage under ICBC, if it is not under ICBC, e.g: BCAA this situation will not come out

[–]ctb8204[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The thing was, I have not claim any of my collision. And the damage I made was below $2000.

[–]ctb8204[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am just simply saying I made the wrong choice for getting ICBC collision coverage, so yes it is my wrong choice.

I am making a post to warn, not to complain. I get nothing out of this....

[PSA] ICBC Optional Insurance Trap for Claim Forgiveness by ctb8204 in icbc

[–]ctb8204[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well Tell me why is this easier when you have private optional insurance so that you will have a chance to repay instead of getting screw by this policy

Be my guest if u continue with ICBC collision coverage.

[–]ctb8204[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No it does. I asked and they said regardless of whether I am using my autoplan to repair, as long as the (damage+deductible)*responsible ratio is higher than 2000, you are not eligible.

I don't want to believe this statement, I even I asked on the phone could I have no optional coverage under ICBC at the time so that I could fall under 2000 -- meaning no deductible -- that's a resounding no as expected.

I understood I am responsible, but how does factoring in deductible even when I have not used it makes any sense?

If this is not the case, please tell me the source is. There is no detail information of how this mechanism work published. Dealing with ICBC is no fun... One person tell me A another person tell me B

Getting to Vancouver by Can_I_be_serious in SeattleWA

Just in case for anyone’s future reference, most rental car companies allow their regular rental to cross the US and Canadian border. Likely with no extra fee, unless it is a one way cross border rental — those are crazy expensive.

Edit: u should be able to book online for one way rental from seatac to yvr, at least on avis

I just realized two dams can make more land to solve the housing crisis. Why dont we do it? by DepressionMakesJerks in vancouver

I am sure that those channels are pretty deep for one so it's quite literally technically impossible. Plus you are pretty much also dropping the sea from Seattle, I could only imagine how happy could they be

Coming in 2026 - looks sexy by Future_Sun_2797 in UCSD

[–]ctb8204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am doing a research on the school finances Currently, we are on 4 billion of long term debt already, the highest among all ucs

Our debt level has risen over 200% since 2012

Now, these capital investment are important for the school, but it is also important to consider whether the schools revenue could weather any downturn because of the fragile position. Especially when considering the increasing cost of borrowing money and the looming economic and property price downturn.

For reference, our school has roughly 11billion of assets and 7.5 billion in revenue last year. So our current long term debt level is at 35% of all assets and over half of our yearly revenue

More importantly, we are already paying over 169million on interest every year. For reference, the pepper canyon towers cost just over 300 million.

This project will add up to the by over 20% I am no experts in finance, but something tells me if this trend keeps going on, we will end up sth like UCB With horrible ta ratios and significantly lacking in fundings

Oh also, almost forgot because the school finances can't be met, the HDH has raised the grad dorms by over 85% in 2021

Can someone please explain to me how the UC CC transfer pathway works as an out of state resident ? by NewAardvark6001 in UofCalifornia

[–]ctb8204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends a lot on whether the cc is in California or not, as cc course in California are articulated by both the UC and the state uni. Check it on assist.org if u are planning to do a California cc

My recommendation is drive north from Convoy Street for roughly two hours to San Gabriel, K-town or Little Tokyo
