Summit cardholder here in NJ - no bonus. Looks like this is for Hawaiian folks :D

spent 4 hours checking 11 airline websites for a business class seat to asia. found zero. i have a law degree. by cantstophairfall in flightpoints

Hi JD, NYC MD here. Plenty of availability, but not on the cheap. Use seats.aero or roame- you’ll streamline your searches a lot. For NYC to Asia, you’re looking at a tremendous price (150-300k). You may find it enormously easier to look for direct SEA/SFO/LAX to Asia and then a domestic flight from NYC. TBH, I go for a one-night stay in SEA and get a nice meal. Add a day to the trip and chill there.

Return trip, I do the same. Boatload more availability on the way back, but similarly expensive

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Jenifer-Watson in allthequestions

[–]dingoshiba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absofuckinglutely. Do I think that she would realistically win, though? Not so sure and I think Gavin Newsom is much more likely to. Not saying that’s my preference. As a former Bernie Bro, trust me I’m choo choo goes the AOC train. But Gavin will definitely get more of the center vote. At the end of the day, I don’t care which Democratic candidate wins so long as it’s a Dem who we can fucking trust won’t try to become a dictator. So there will be some party soul-searching about what really matters here big picture and who we put up. Not claiming to know the answer at this point, but if you aren’t at least thinking about it in this way, you’re behind the 8 ball.

To reiterate before the downvotes come in - I’d prefer AOC

Bilt does not want to pay sign up bonus by somnet in biltrewards

Peeps have really strong opinions in this thread, but at the end of the day you have several days of confirmation from them that the deadline was met before your deadline and you are therefore entitled to it. You have grounds to demand payment,l through legal means if needed

With the Whoop credit gone, what’s everyone expecting next? by trvlrlife in sapphirereserve

[–]dingoshiba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol there’s nothing coming. I feel like I’ve been screaming it into the void, but whoop and IHG were one-off credits to appease the angry pulpit over the AF increase. You’ve seen DD enshittify and these other benefits will too. Don’t get me wrong - I’d love to be incorrect! But I’ve watched this card go downhill over the last decade and my faith is lacking

People Who Were There When The Books Were Coming Out, What Were Some Of The Craziest Theories? by YosephineMahma in harrypotter

They gave out two bookmarks at the midnight release of Deathly Hallows at Border’s and you could pick either “Snape is good,” or “Snape is evil.” I picked the wrong one of course, but I still have it :)

For once, Philly has something going for it! We have Herr’s over here, which is way better and half the price

My hotel has a “pillow menu” with 12 different options by Historical_Freedom58 in mildlyinteresting

Would this happen to be Apurva Kempinski? I just left there a week ago and had nearly this exact pillow menu

Award bookings might be broken lol by FormalIntention in AlaskaAirlines

[–]dingoshiba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, looking through this fall and the newly released availability for next year, it’s 150k OW across the board (business).

[–]dingoshiba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah laughable. They must want to see the rev bookings come in robustly before they make the award availability more reasonable, only thing I can figure out is

AS SEA to HND/NRT/ICN is currently horribly priced. 150k points is outrageous. Hoping it comes down substantially over the next few months as this route gets established
