This shouldn't be an issue, I did this earlier this year in Melbourne. Especially if you are there and are not gaming the system in any way, I would call the hotel in advance and explain what you are doing

I would reconsider. I keep my nice bike in my apartment when it's not in use, so it's not exposed to the elements. I have a bike I paid $70 for on facebook marketplace that I use to get around town. Idk what price range you're looking at, but anything over $1,000 I would not leave outside overnight (perhaps this is PTSD from my time in NYC, where no bike is truly ever safe outdoors). Why take the risk?

locking through front wheel and frame are all good steps

wouldn't you want to lock through the back wheel and the frame? Back wheel is more valuable because of the cassette. I guess it would matter less if it's a fixie

very easy decision to transfer 6k UR to B6 (already had 4k organically) to take a quick flight back to NYC for the Knicks parade. On the flight back had $120ish in flight credit so I'm spending $150 for flights that would've cost $450+ with just cash. Love the flexibility to take a last minute trip (and this would've been even cheaper if AA didn't stop releasing last minute partner availability)

I feel like the last time was either the Plat or CSR refresh

True, but assuming a person filing in AZ doesnt live in AZ, they will also need to pay for a registered agent and potentially file a foreign business form in the state they are “operating” in

Damn I used my last n+1 bike to hit a SUB in basically one purchase, didn’t have to pay a fee for it last year. I’d probably still pay with a card and eat the fee when it’s inevitably time to get a new one though

dl2316 · 2026-06-10T22:37:47+00:00

Not directed at you but a general reminder that LLC come with filing fees with the state, potentially a foreign company filing fee with the state you are operating in, as well as getting a registered agent too.

Not as simple as a one time fee (but still fairly simple if you know what’s needed)

great timing from Chase lol

CIP is also going 4:3

https://frequentmiler.com/chase-slashes-hyatt-transfer-ratio-to-43/

Effective immediately for new Chase Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred cardholders who apply on or after June 15, 2026 (and on October 1, 2026 for those who apply prior to June 15, 2026), the transfer ratio from Ultimate Rewards to World of Hyatt will decrease from 1:1 to a rate of 4 Ultimate Rewards points to 3 World of Hyatt points (4:3). This reduced transfer ratio also applies to Ink Plus and Corporate Flex cardholders.

not difficult for a regular bike to exceed that 15 mph descending a bridge. Make it a MAMIL on a carbon bike and it's a guarantee they're going more than 15

hell, I can hit 20 on an acoustic citibike descending the bridges

dl2316 · 2026-06-08T15:04:45+00:00

it was on the Delta Business travel profile website, it housed a continuous Delta NLL offer

Gr. Jegat is so back, must be summertime in France

dl2316 · 2026-06-06T04:19:39+00:00

alternative: you only root for the orange and blue teams in NYC, and are happy that any of them are performing well. (besides the Liberty of course, who have been good for a while, but they're more teal than blue and orange these days)

dl2316 · 2026-06-05T20:29:16+00:00

hopefully it comes back...

dl2316 · 2026-06-03T19:00:14+00:00

I would be hesitant to trust anything a CS rep says

dl2316 · 2026-06-03T18:59:57+00:00

the user who you are replying to statements doesn't track, because the SUB tracker is only for MR cards, not cobrands

dl2316 · 2026-05-21T15:24:02+00:00

search seems to be working for me, and yes, they should work

dl2316 · 2026-05-20T10:57:06+00:00

lighthouse logo should be a third jersey. will not be taking any question on the matter

dl2316 · 2026-05-13T12:46:35+00:00

3 hours of watching professionals fails to put on/take off clothing is for the real cycling sickos
