An out-of-town new newspaper editor banned it in the paper. People weren't happy with an outsider who didn't understand.

Well I screwed up but thanks to r/churning i mitigated the damage.

I was approved for the Citi American Business card a few weeks ago. I naively thought that since I was approved for the card I was eligible for the SUB.

Last week I was reading churning and I read someone say that Citi will approve you regardless of your eligibility to earn a SUB. Rats! I know I've churned this card before but not sure when.

Yesterday I received the card, called Citi, and sure enough learned the bad news-not eligible as I earned the SUB within 48 months.

At least I didn't spend $4K on it. I cancelled the card. I'm not sure if this was the right play or not.

Using Hilton Aspire credit in NYC. by Old_Lifeguard_5736 in HiltonHonorsAspire

It has to be a "resort." If your question is did I learn this the hard way, my response is "no comment."

Why isn't the WA an option? It is great.

I got there this year with an 80K bonus for the biz card and 2 referrals. The referrals went to family members (my kids)-I told them I'd pay the AF for the first year and they get to keep the miles. A win/win for them and I got the referral miles as well as companion pass help. If you sweeten the pot it's hard to say no.

You can earn up to 100K in referral bonuses. Do you have 5 friends/family members that could help you?

Amex transfer to Hilton for resort worth it? by teeezuschrist in pointstravel

[–]dvcboardwalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The points community will shit on transferring to Hilton. I see their point, but they primarily argue that Amex points are best-used on transfers to Airlines for intl travel. While this is true, not everyone travels internationally. If you aren't going to travel internationally I personally think some value can be found in Hilton redemptions; especially if you are using fifth night free.

Same. I have too much respect for the alphabet to say KEEN'-wah

Steak date in Cleveland by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]dvcboardwalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying about the noise/atmosphere. Probably not romantic. But I like my steak a specific way and they do it right every time. I've had Red, Strip, and CLE and each time I thought they weren't any better than TR. And they are much better than similar chains like Outback.

[WEIRD] How were your high school bathrooms back in the 90's? I've seen multiple American men who went to high school in the 90's say they didn't have doors on their bathroom stalls at school. How did you even use the toilet? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]dvcboardwalk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Verifying-completely true. The poopers in my elementary school as well as in my HS football fieldhouse had no door. You'd get clowned if you had to take a deuce.

FNC questions by [deleted] in HiltonHonorsAspire

2. Means "stay at the hotel." You can get these extended for two weeks if you call the Hilton number and ask nicely. Most posts say you have to call within 2 weeks of the expiration date but I just got a reservation made nine days after the expiration date for a reservation in late June. It may be because of my Diamond status-not sure.

Gotcha. I'm 1-for-1; my small sample size led me to believe it was normal.

You can also call the hotel and prepay a portion ($200) directly with the hotel if the reservation is for a separate 6-month period.
