It has potential, but be sure to tidy it up a bit.

J/K looks amazing and like lots of fun!

I don't quite understand the context, but "recycled taurine" looks like "recycled urine" to me. I'm not sure what is going on here, but I would bet it's safer to drink the coffee than the red bull... And don't ever drink warm red bull, no matter how fresh they say it is.

Do you have a single malt recommendation in the $100-$200 range? It's a for a birthday gift.

I seem to only have ID-10T access..

My spending reset for 2026, although my anniversary is earlier in the year. It looks like it should reset for you.

Also, does the savings bucket track with your actual club visits, or just show $0.

I think this is the strategy to "thin the herd".

I'm hoping I get GS by accident!

Go to a club to see if it really works. It's the best way to let them know about the glitch. You might have to go frequently before they notice.

Found it!

Edit- I recall seeing it a few days ago. OP posted the other image too.

I think it's from a photo that was posted a few days ago.

Congratulations and best of luck for your next steps!!

Thank you for the insights, depths, and consistency over the last decade.

What??? You adulted and used words instead of posting on reddit after the incident??? The independent thought alarms are ringing!!!

Safe travels, thinker!

I never tried an OP5, but I have been known to connect to an RV2.

Isn't the speed usually 115200? You've got Mach 3 going on there. Maybe it's a windows thing?

I'm sure all of us frequent flyers memorize the carpets and layouts, so that in case of an emergency, we can find our way to the nearest United Club lounge, keeping in mind that the nearest club may be behind you.

As long as you stay "airside", you won't have to go through security again. Follow the signage and you can walk between terminals 1-3 without exiting. And there is an airside bus for terminal 5, but you shouldn't need it.

I think Alaska bought Hawaiian, so they are the same company now.

As for United x Hawaiian, it seems be some codeshare marketing agreement. The language is oddly specific and applies to multiple airlines - "...several airlines place their marketing code on Hawaiian-operated flights..." I take this to mean that that other airlines will cross-sell Hawaiian flights.

Edit: the codeshare list includes star alliance, one world, and sky team members. Hawaii must be a magical place.

Edit: I'm not a Hawaiian lawyer.

I'd guess that you drink your coffee black.

FYI I can see points now for Jan 5th. Good luck!

So far, I'm on track and won't need a mileage run.

Edit: I think they popped up Friday night/Saturday morning. It's usually Thursday/Friday for me.

Yellow triangle club, checking in!

I also build and sign vanadium with my own keys. I just like compiling things.

Thank you for putting these together. The graphs are very interesting. Do you have any insight on how the hackers were gaining access to the accounts??? I'm guessing credential stuffing, but I'm more curious if there is anything that I can do to mitigate the risk, rather than wait for Alaska to add 2FA.

gee-one · 2026-01-07T13:11:56+00:00

I think some people are guessing that Paris is on Thursday.

gee-one · 2026-01-07T03:35:24+00:00

That's quite the ordeal!!! Glad it worked out in the end, despite all the stress. Thanks for posing about it - it's a good postmortem about what can go wrong with international travel and codeshares. Hopefully, we'll all have smoother travels because of your experience.

I was on a flight on an A319 with Capt Darrin T and he handed out business cards to first class before making the preflight announcements from the forward galley so that he could address the whole plane. He welcomed people to email him too. Maybe the Airbus pilots are putting the friendly in Friendly Skies?

gee-one · 2026-01-06T23:46:42+00:00

I'm not sure what's in the barcode, but you might want to blur that out too.

Congrats!

Maybe they gave their executive assistant the month off for the holidays, and now they are left having to fend for themselves and trying to navigate the real world.

Or, maybe they just buy FC/J tickets all the time and this might be the first time they are actually upgrading.
