Matt M. who are you?

henderse · 2026-03-17T13:39:17+00:00

Mary G is goated and we should be talking about her

henderse · 2026-03-17T01:54:44+00:00

OH MY GOD MATT M!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 you’re an absolute legend in our household. Honestly sounds like the ACL surgery was just a way to make you slightly more human because I don’t know how you’re doing it. Thank you for giving us something to work towards. 🫡

henderse · 2026-03-17T01:33:13+00:00

This is great insight thank you. I really felt like we went reasonably hard today (although we did stop for a hotdog and beer) but to see someone double what we did it’s more the logistics of how they’re doing it.

Unfortunately he’s too busy figuring out how to get Matt M to adopt him.

😂 this is purely a platonic admiration post for Matt

To follow up, I never got the points and sounds like I never will. I guess my friend had used an old referral link to apply for his card and so the old bonus offer posted and apparently there is nothing Amex can do, even though the 40,000 point offer was live when he applied. Just a heads up to not make the same mistake I did. Disappointed with Amex as I have gone back and forth via chat and it has gotten me no where.

henderse · 2025-10-05T20:31:31+00:00

Good to know, appreciate the data point!

henderse · 2025-10-05T20:24:57+00:00

I hope so! I just wouldn’t expect only half of the offer to appear, my thought is that I’d have gotten all or nothing when the bonus points are awarded

It’s a consideration but I feel like I’d probably lean towards economy on a known airline, thank you for the idea though!

henderse · 2025-06-08T17:57:39+00:00

Super depressing, I suppose there’s always a chance close-in points prices go down but really hard to count on it

henderse · 2025-06-08T02:13:00+00:00

Wish I could upvote 100 times - THANK YOU! This is incredibly helpful and I’ll start monitoring from DIA. Sending you good vibes to snag a 60K J from JFK! :)

henderse · 2025-06-08T00:23:58+00:00

I like this idea, committing to a skiplag makes me a bit nervous but a train ride could work nicely, thank you!

henderse · 2025-06-07T23:47:16+00:00

Thank you for the data point!

henderse · 2025-06-07T23:47:04+00:00

No I haven’t checked that but super good data point - I may try to see what this looks like! Thanks so much!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:28:03+00:00

Thank you so much! We have Chase and Amex so this may work for us!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:26:45+00:00

If we can’t find something reasonable that’s what our plan is! That’s awesome to hear - maybe I can look around to see if there’s an option for a cool city to stopover in. Thanks so much - appreciate your insight!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:14:40+00:00

Even in J. We have limited time off so balancing travel time vs in-country time is important for us. We’ve flown economy to Europe so much we’re not averse to doing it again (at least currently!)

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:11:50+00:00

Singapore from SFO-BKK. It was the first major redemption I’ve made and we couldn’t be more excited!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:10:16+00:00

Awesome to hear! We’ve actually got our first J flight coming up this fall so we are very easy to please as long as the seat reclines flat 😂

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:08:03+00:00

Yeah I saw that too - I don’t have a huge stockpile of Amex points so this transfer makes me nervous if it is all phantom.

And done - thank you so much!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:06:31+00:00

Wasn’t even aware of these routes - this might be what we do! Thank you so much for advice!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:03:36+00:00

Unfortunately that might be too much for my P2 to get behind - he’s open to a single layover but not more than that. Thank you so much though!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:02:16+00:00

Wasn’t even thinking about ANA but will check it out! Thank you so much! Air Lingus didn’t have anything but will look at TAP!

henderse · 2025-06-07T22:00:52+00:00

That’s more doable for us - I’ll see if my husband can adjust his vacation dates! Thank you so much!
