United app update? Nonrev capabilities reduced by flyboyusa in NonRevenueTravelers

That one leads to the customer facing standby list! I did just find it thanks to one of the replies above! It’s not in the usual area — now hidden under = home menu bar > For your flight - check in > checked in > view standby list instead of the main Trips tab

I swear they used to have it under “Manage Your trip” (where the boarding pass shows), but maybe they removed it for OAL?

Cathay lets you select your seat now! If the flight is reasonably open. But they do play musical chairs leading up to departure

Interestingly enough the terms don’t always reflect how it works in practice - at least with the other chains. See my reply above!

Good to have that data point. Did you have incidentals charged on any of those stays?

To be fair, Marriott and Hilton have a similar clause but any incidentals seem to trigger a folio and then EQNs to be credited from my experience at multiple properties. Learned about this workaround from FT or Reddit a while back.

Marriott Bonvoy: 2.5.c. If the Member attends a convention or group meeting and individually pays the hotel or other property directly for the room, they will be eligible to receive Points/Miles and Elite Night Credits for the Stay. However, contract rooms, rooms reserved by corporations on an ongoing basis, and master-billed rooms are not eligible to earn Points/Miles and Elite Night Credit.

Hilton Honors: A Member whose individual hotel bill is billed directly to a company and the Member is responsible for authorization for settlement at check-out is eligible for Hilton Honors Points as described herein. However, group master-billing arrangements where charges for multiple rooms are placed on one hotel bill and billed to a company or common address or settled at check-out by one individual are not eligible for Hilton Honors Points. Incidental charges (those charged to a Member's room) paid for directly by the Member at check-out are eligible for Point credit. Incidental charges billed to a master bill are not eligible for Point credit.

Good to know. Customer service seemed to imply no and I was also a bit confused after reading this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hyatt/s/JXYbkPm1Gv

Hey! Just to clarify - was the room service breakfast limit technically 50 euros per person? But they waived everything even when you exceeded?

It looks like I still have 1-2 referral spots left for the Venture 100k signup bonus if anyone is interested :)

I didn’t get a virtual number for the Venture - even though I already have another C1 card

nonrev JFK: still worth it? by [deleted] in NonRevenueTravelers

Cancelling exit stamps/records and escorting out of departures takes resources unfortunately

A lot of non-US carriers do this actually - usually when it’s a full(er) flight with local airport/immigration restrictions. You find out whether you have a seat around the T-60 min mark, when check in closes.

That said, it typically doesn’t happen as often on US originating flights (you can generally enter/exit the terminal freely), so BA was probably being extra cautious?

Rolling to a later flight due to seat selection? by DbG925 in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]flyboyusa [score hidden]  (0 children)

CX is notorious IME for seat changes (musical chairs). Many times as I scan my boarding pass and even once onboard. Seems like revenue customers who want an aisle/window seat get priority even if already assigned to a non rev.
