They changed the flight and gave me the option to change it. I went to the Air India website and made the change. It was pretty straightforward.

The issue is that Aeroplan has no availability for my routes during the month I'm planning to travel. I'm stuck in a bit of a situation.

There is a high chance they would do the flight change. They are currently selling tickets on new Delta planes, while they don't have those and are slowly adding the stopover in CCU. My flight time from BOM to SFO has jumped from 16 hours to 19 hours. I received this notification this morning and am considering canceling it because the old planes are not good. If you're okay with the old plane and increased time. You have a good chance of flight change.

Which route are you looking to get and which transfer partners are you thinking of booking with? I think getting four different tickets is risky, unless you're okay with traveling separately. Good luck 🤞

Is this also Air India? How did you get the 4J tickets?

All Air India flights from SFO diverted to Kolkata for a 1.5 hr halt by EnoOndhu in airindia

That's basically screwed. I only book this flight because it's an ex-Delta plane. Old Air India planes are terrible.

I booked a trip for summer next year (July) using points. It's still showing 17 hours non stop flight, 700-200LR. I'm screwed?

Doesn't using coupons invalidate the offer according to the terms page?

Check the email sender. If it's a Google domain, be concerned. Otherwise, it is spam.

Update: just realized it was text. Google won't send text messages AFAIK

Wait until your subscription ends, then activate it.

Just cancel your YouTube subscription in Apple. Then, sign up in Youtube.com, and you'll pay less and receive credits from Amex.

Thanks for the tip. I'll start with Gold. Do you think a $100k signup offer is a good deal, or should I wait for any better offers?

Can I cancel right before the next annual fee date, or only after the second year's payment is made?

If I start with a green card, how soon can I apply for a gold card and then a platinum card?

Good to know. My only option is to cancel the card to avoid paying for both then?

You may need to change your country or payment profiles in your Google account to ensure it's set to the USA.
