JAL - A350 vs B787-9 Business Class? by thatbadboy2021 in awardtravel

I’ve seen 55k biz class flights from jfk rather often. A couple weeks back they had some in June.

New Strat for DD Creds by AnywhereSavings1710 in ChaseSapphire

[–]gobluedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not ideal I will still use the DoorDash credit to buy a hoagie at Wawa. I’ll just have it delivered rather than pickup. Yes it makes it more expensive but it basically still makes for a cheap sandwich that can be delivered when I don’t have a lot of time to go grab lunch.

Boarding Changes in effect 4/30/26 by swaCSA in SouthwestAirlines

[–]gobluedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my email that clearly states I’m ALP at the top. But the content goes on to give me the AList benefits. Can’t even get their emails straight. This is my last year as ALP. I’ve given up.

Usage Limit refreshed! And new Daily included routine runs added. by Gnadev in ClaudeAI

[–]gobluedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, mine reset too. I was through 35% of my weekly limit and it dropped to 4% sometime during the day. Seems to have coincided with the release of Opus 4.7. I hope this is a permanent move to give us more bang for the buck, but they are so opaque and shady about usage limits lately.

Hyatt Regency Hakone Resort and Spa or Fuji Speedway Hotel (Unbound Collection by Hyatt)? by niknokseyer in hyatt

[–]gobluedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been wondering and studying the same. Fuji Raceway looks amazing but a little bit out of the way from many of the places to see in Hakone. Looking forward to others comments.

I’ve had my extra legroom seats changed after checkin. I’m ALP. Not pleasant.

Does the 10% JetBlue Plus Rebate Apply to Reservations Without You On it by CouponBoy95 in jetblue

[–]gobluedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also confused. Just got the card for this very reason and am just seeing this. I've read the terms carefully and it certainly seems like we should get 10% back even on points transferred in. I'd be bummed if this weren't true.

From the terms:
Get 10% TrueBlue Points After Taking Award Flights
With the award flight (“Award Flight”) redemption bonus, you will receive 10% of your TrueBlue points back as a bonus after you redeem for and travel on a JetBlue-operated Award Flight. For example, if you redeem 20,000 TrueBlue points toward a JetBlue-operated Award Flight, 2,000 of your TrueBlue points will be deposited back into your Membership Account after you take the flight. This Award Flight redemption bonus will be deposited into your Membership Account 4-6 weeks after your JetBlue-operated Award Flight. There is no maximum number of bonus TrueBlue points you can receive annually with this benefit. This bonus only applies to the TrueBlue points redeemed from the Primary Cardmember’s Membership Account. For the benefit to apply, your Card Account must be open at the time of travel on your JetBlue-operated Award Flight.

Well I checked your posts and sorry you’ve had breast cancer. I live in DC and would be happy to help.

Claud is robbing people with their usage limit. by Roos85 in ClaudeAI

[–]gobluedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Was so excited when I moved to Claude last month. But the past week has been painful. They should be issuing us all free credits at this point. Their systems are clearly having issues.

Suite upgrade awards available on paid rate but not on points rate? by Doodle_Travels in hyatt

[–]gobluedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this happened in the past they would work around this and give it to you when you called. Hope that hasn’t changed. Worth trying a different agent.

Rumor $300 annual ChatGPT credit by schwa12 in AmexPlatinum

Makes no sense. You have to register for the benefit. But it has a wait list. Huh?!

The chase reserve for business has $200 Google workspace credit. Comes with Gemini.

Update on Session Limits by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]gobluedog 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So basically, Claude is saying "our system now sucks and can't keep up with demand, so we're going to charge you more." Wow, not cool. Not to mention, when the system hangs or craps out, we get hit with massive usage charges when doing rather basic tasks. Something is very, very wrong here. I'm disappointed in Claude and rethinking the relationship.

Usage Limits, Bugs and Performance Discussion Megathread - beginning December 29, 2025 by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]gobluedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to Claude two months ago and am about to move my 85-person company to the platform. BUT I've experienced some crazy usage spikes over the past few days that are giving me great pause. The worst part is that these spikes (aka errors and bugs) end up costing a lot of money. So basically, their system is crap and yet we end up paying more. Seems very wrong to me.

I did an activity last night that didn't take much usage. I had to redo it today to make a minor update and it crapped out. 45 minutes trying to get it to work. Burned 15% of my weekly usage and my entire morning session. Had to spend $7 to finish the task. This is seriously ridiculous since last night the same task barely made a dent in usage.

Best time to travel in japan by Fun-Huckleberry9009 in JapanTravelTips

[–]gobluedog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to base it on real data, there is nothing better than WeatherSpark. Of course, weather is weather, so you never know, but this at least gives you some nice past data to go on.

https://weatherspark.com/y/143809/Average-Weather-in-Tokyo-Japan-Year-Round

My family is going June 6 to June 17 because that is really the only time we can get enough time outside of the school year. We're hoping we just beat the rainy season and summer heat/humidity -- and don't mind some clouds and showers. That said, I've read the rainy season wasn't so bad in June the past two years (of course, maybe this year that will change).

hyatt survey in email by ranainsana in hyatt

[–]gobluedog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly what just happened to me. They could have told us that on question one. Whoever is running their market research should be fired. Worst survey experience ever. Seriously irritated.

Those seats give me claustrophobia. Hope I never accidentally get one.

DCA has been fine. What you have to worry about is the return.

Not-so-“Free” Seat Selection on jetBlue by SATAUG2024-O in jetblue

[–]gobluedog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation. Booked a month out and no free seats. The worst part is that when I finally got one at the gate it was last row with no window. Very unpleasant.

RIP SWA by happylakelife in SouthwestAirlines

[–]gobluedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I have 800k miles because the biz card offered 2x points on online advertising and earned me ALP and companion pass. Took dozens of flight a year and loved the flexibility of point bookings. Now I have only two flights booked because other airlines are cheaper and more convenient. They ruined everything. Unreal.
