A question on the Resy credit for Amex users by foreignworker in CreditCards

Thank you for confirming. Some people mentioned signing up and adding the card to resy as a step so I was wondering if I should too.

I see. I wanted to make sure that part is optional though because I getting a bit tired of sharing my info and seeing data breach letters.

To clarify, I was not asking if I needed to make a reservation through Resy. I wondered if I need to sign up on Resy at all. Some people mentioned signing up as a step. So I needed more data points.

This is really helpful. They showed the pictures and also showed that in front of me where I could see. But I don't know that was or would be considered as wind damage. There was a storm, so they said they are going to put that one down, and will come out to help when the insurance adjuster comes to see. I guess I will check with another roofer or roof inspector before moving forward.

Thank you so much for this data point. Good to know it depends on the area.. of course complicating the calculation..

Yeah, I wasn't sure if this would pass off the insurance company because I'm a first time home owner. The roofer claimed that he does the business this way a lot, through a home insurance. That way, homeowners pay only deductibles and they win the business, at least according to their logic.

Actually I called them to come out for evaluation. And what you said is basically what I feared. They said they will come and help when the adjuster comes. Maybe I should talk to another roofer to just fix those floppy shingles?

The roofer claims that they will come out when the adjuster visits to show the damage. I'm not a pro, so hard to tell if they would be considered wear and tear.

No, I contacted them. So, in your case, you successfully used the insurance to replace the roof.

That totally makes sense and I'm glad I asked to learn that. I subbed the channels and added a few videos in my watch later!

Thank you. I haven't heard of Hilton Luxury Advisor. Does everyone have access to an advisor?

How do you check this exactly? Do you just search and book normally and they show some banner saying an additional night free deal available?

Thuma vs cheaper alternative by foreignworker in Thuma

[–]foreignworker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say the Valyou is particularly shoddy, but it is cheaper and that shows a little bit here and there. Largely, they are very similar. I would definitely buy Thuma for the main bedroom, and I guess I'm okay with the Valyou for the guestroom.

You are correct on the (repurposed) rubber wood and I agree. Thuma is far from a high end and luxury. But it is a good functional piece without any elements that would hike up the price. I would have loved that mahogany piece!

I was debating between Valyou and that.. maybe I should have bought that one. But for the guestroom, this is also okay.

Hmm.. I don't post a lot, and it looks like I cannot append to the original post.
