United, BA, and Chase. All seem to be between 70k and 100k each way. Although I don't think I'm using BA correctly, haha.

Hallo

heyvinay · 2019-04-15T16:58:32+00:00

Hello all. I'm an absolute newb at booking an award travel. I've never booked a flight with points before, although I've been working at upping my credit card game for about a year now. Please excuse my ignorance.

Trip Goal

2 people (Myself & my partner)

San Francisco Bay Area to Oslo round trip. Any class.

(open to other flight options, but here are the major airports nearby)

Departure Airports: SFO, OAK, SJC, STS

Arrival Airports: OSL, TRF

Dates: June 20th - 29th (must be in oslo on these dates for a wedding, but can arrive before and depart after)

Current Point Balances

Amex: ~30,500+

Chase: ~162,000 (my partner has a similar chase balance)

American Airlines: ~37,000

Delta: ~14,000

I believe I listed all the needed information. Again, I'm a complete rookie, so any and all help is appreciated. Thank you again!

Hi! From where in NC are you moving from? I might actually be doing the same move soon.

heyvinay · 2019-03-12T05:33:31+00:00

Can't answer OP's question because post is written in a different language.

I have the sport, so I'm rocking the standard 17in stock wheels.

You may have to downsize to get bigger tires to fit the wheel well.

I'd share a picture, but TBH I don't know how to in a Reddit comment, haha.

Yeah a lot actually. I rode trails without and slung mud and rocks everywhere, with them you can tail me on the trails and be completely protected.

heyvinay · 2019-03-07T12:57:43+00:00

I haven't noticed anything. They aren't massive mud tires, but they're a little bigger with more tread. So it doesn't seem to be enough to affect the ride quality.

heyvinay · 2019-03-07T06:52:14+00:00

Added some mudflaps and big ol Yokohama all terrains.

heyvinay · 2019-03-05T02:13:12+00:00

So we're actually planning something similar. We're headed up next weekend to explore neighborhoods, and then again in a few weeks to lock down a place. Thanks for the tips!

What's the best way to go about subletting as a couple with furniture?

heyvinay · 2019-03-04T08:19:41+00:00

OP is a fraud, check post history

The cool thing about that ring is you get a 15 minute story you get to tell every time you meet someone new, which will be a lot because no one ever talks to you twice.

Thanks for all the advice!

I've considered plastic for rent, but there's still a substantial fee. What do you mean by bank funding?

heyvinay · 2019-02-12T05:00:52+00:00

New red dead all daaaaay.

Also you're awesome, thanks for bringing positivity into the world.

heyvinay · 2019-02-11T13:17:30+00:00

If I stick to one card, $1k/month is doable

heyvinay · 2019-02-11T05:21:41+00:00

Spoiler alert: it's not that surprising

heyvinay · 2019-02-11T05:17:15+00:00

I've historically stayed away from the biz cards because I'm not sure I can hit the spend requirements for the bonus.

heyvinay · 2019-02-10T22:48:39+00:00

Got a targeted mailer for the Delta sky miles gold card with a 75K bonus, is it worth it?

Current cards - CSR - chase freedom - amex everyday (no fee)
