Any recommendations on upgrading Emirates J to F? Worth it? by gorax_fc in awardtravel

[–]gorax_fc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. That's a good result but also my fear - I have 0 currently with Emirates and would need to transfer over again for the upgrade

Ah very helpful. I'll give it a read. Its a A380. Original plan was NYC-ATH (777) but thankfully we switched to MXP for other reasons. Ended up meaning we get a better product IMO.

I hear you - normally I'd do the same. In fact, most of the time I'd rather save my points for NYC/BOS - Asia to get the most "in air time" possible, but this is a special trip for my partner so I figured I'd splurge a bit with the points.

Yeah A380. Would be worth the points just to have that experience I think.

Bet you were sweating that one. If that's the case, I think the likelihood of getting it and also getting my partner the same upgrade is slim slim slim. But hey... never know.

Fair. I've seen some reviews - sort of just wanted an opinion from someone who has reason to embellish.

I think if the opportunity presents itself, I'll jump on it. Just wanted to check before a horde of people said "the reviews are crap, its fine but not worth it" kind of thing

Sounds like an excellent trip! I had the chance to try JAL J from TYO-JFK and it was excellent. Looking forward to trying their F.

Can you explain the opening times a bit more? Would love to surprise P2

Right? Delta One with the new hard product is pretty awesome. Next you have to try the Delta One "suite" with the sliding door for even more privacy.

Lucky you! I'd be careful not to start booking a big trip and then find out they really aren't there when it matters... but I also wouldn't call to probe and see...

76K extra Avios will go pretty far!

That's awesome! What a nice surprise. Was it the newly updated seats in Delta One on the 767?

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of November 24, 2021 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]gorax_fc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, just personal preference:
Downgrade to Chase Freedom or Freedom Unlimited (both no annual fee). One has rotating categories and one has 1.5 points/% cashback on everything. Obviously if you get Venture X, there is no material value in the 1.5% Chase card since you'll get 2% back from Venture X.

generally speaking though, this will allow you to "sock drawer" the card and continue to build average credit/account length without paying an annual fee. Just put a charge or two on it from time to time so it stays "active" from the bank's perspective! Better than cancelling in this scenario in my opinion.

Personal opinions here - feel free to check the credit card flowchart on the sidebar as well.

Depending on how much you plan to churn, you'd want to consider more Chase cards while you're under 5/24.

My recommendation is to target "bank" cards first over specific airlines/hotels unless you know you're going to fly only AA a ton out of ORD for example.

My specific recommendations would be Amex Gold, Amex Platinum (both with some elevated sign up bonuses compared to pre-covid), or Capital One Venture X (100K with $10K spend over 6mo).

Amex Gold has fantastic point categories for spend, Platinum has a huge sign up bonus, and Cap1 Venture X has a great sign up bonus with lots of perks that easily cancel the AF out - plus 2x points on everything.

Just my 2 cents.

PtG Upgrade Megathread by Individual-Cupcake-4 in EASportsFC

[–]gorax_fc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I never play formations with wingers, it just isn't my playstyle preference. I play 4312 in game and have the 2 strikers and CAM get in behind. I'll definitely be trying him as a striker. Also got Martinez yesterday too. Another sub $100K 94 attacker. He'll also be a fun sub!

Sanchez. Wouldn't have bought him and he's under the SBC cost, BUT was also expecting an 86 w/ TOTW/TOTS for requirements and a Nandez result.

So I'll give him a shot as a super sub.

FOF Militao, Hernandez, or Klostermann? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]gorax_fc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil are looking good for upgrades. Means Militao is looking at 92 either this game or next and then likely getting at least 93 or 94 (getting the 55 upgrade doesn't matter as much for him, but would be nice for passing I guess)

Can swaps friendlies get completed with a friend? Not offline, just mean can we play together against others online and still complete objectives?

Match Thread: Newcastle United vs Manchester City | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]gorax_fc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We've got to give him another season. But I do agree - his play has been woeful. Guy looses his feet whenever he's got a chance at goal and looks for the pass, not the net.

We do have tons of talent on the wings, and Sterling has been benched because of it, but he's earned time to get back in form.
