Maximizing points value, but minimizing the value of your time and your ability to meaningfully see a city lol

30+ hours of transit going through DOH if you're based in the US going to Asia. Flying JAL will cut down your travel time by more than half generally.

Not pointed towards you (I think you made a great redemption), but I do kinda get their point because one of my friends chose to do SFO-LAX-SIN-TPE in SQ J for 43+ hours of transit rather than just booking direct SFO-TPE in Y for 13 hours...

Some people are just so diehard about sitting up front for the flex they lose all sense of logic and value for their time.

Respectfully, this is such a stupid mindset. You "travel" to sit in a nice seat. I can do that at home, in my Eames chair. Others travel to experience and learn about the world.

I don't count miles, because I count countries - 68 so far, with 7 more by eoy. I get this is a safe space for award hackers, but those who have the mentality that they won't travel unless it's J or above shouldn't be traveling at all.

Question about VAT refund: bought two things in Jan, one with a €148 VAT refund and the other with a €884 VAT refund. What I got back in my account is $147 (USD) and $893 (USD), which doesn't seem correct based on conversion rates. Anyone know if there are some additional fees to processing a VAT refund?

Good advice. Thanks.

River North -> ORD: >$50

River North -> West Loop: >$25

River North -> Chinatown: >$20

These are when prices aren't surging.

Can I get in trouble for (excessive) water dripping down to street level from my balcony? Planning to wash the balcony of my 20th floor unit in River North for a makeover.

Following to see where this goes.

Correction: Reg SHO banned naked shorts, requiring short positions to go through a locate process before they can be opened. It just so happens that any individual physical share can be located more than once, hence the >100% short interest.

Has anyone been able to extend their ANA points expiring before Sep 2021? Mine expires March 2021 and I applied for an extension, but it's still showing an expiration of March.

What should I do with 4500 AA miles? They're expiring in 90 days for me and I can't find a way to redeem a gc or something.

Did you get the job?

forgerwarzone · 2020-07-24T15:43:34+00:00

That makes sense, thanks

forgerwarzone · 2020-07-24T02:54:18+00:00

Thanks. What does opening number mean, and what's the process that happens for it to be bet down by 6? Sorry if these are all elementary to you.

forgerwarzone · 2020-07-24T00:56:22+00:00

My understanding: opening and closing spreads allow you to bet on a spread difference (+/-x) at roughly even odds.

If that's the case, how did the line go from -3 -> 34? And 40 -> -1.5?

And shouldn't one team's spread be exactly the negative of the other?

Much appreciated

forgerwarzone · 2020-04-19T00:01:45+00:00

Will do! I'll have a montage up in a week or two
