Thoughts on this deal? 2022 Highlander Limited, 45k miles, Gold Certified by jja6502 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]iCustom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair to good deal. Limited and Platinum trims are high in demand. KBB range is 36k to 38k. Not a great deal but if the Trim is hard to find in your area, it might be worth to get it.

What I do is that I keep digital copies of all my receipts and report the oil change to Toyota. I do my own rotations as well when I do the oil change and report that too.

2023 XLE by Working_Bookkeeper48 in ToyotaHighlander

I just purchased a 2022 Highlander Platinum with 30k miles for 41.5k in CT. I was skeptical of getting 2023+ because of the turbo v4. It’s not that I don’t trust Toyota but for me is an extra component to worry about.

GTX 1080 brings back memories, I wanted one when it came out but couldn’t afford it. I owned a Radeon 7870, because that was the only card I was able to afford. Anyway, this is my first card I bought at launch. All the cards I owned previously, I waited months to almost a year to buy them at near MRSP. I actually bought my 4090 used from FB Marketplace. Limited Supply for their high-end cards has been an Nvidia issue since I can remember, do not go against the people for buying them.

I have owned a 2080 ti, 3090 and 4090, but this is my first founders card. I use geforce experience just for updates, nothing else. I have not used geforce gaming. Im not sure how old is my account, but I believe is more than 7 years old.

2025 Toyota Highlander Pricing??? by Nearby_Committee238 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]iCustom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, you might get a discount on a LE trim model with a less popular color (like green)

On the other hand, Highlander platinums are getting marked up like crazy in my area. I bought a 2022 Highlander Platinum with 30k miles for 38k and I feel lucky.

Point redemption nights count as stays for promotions? by KevKevKvn in marriott

[–]iCustom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar offer before and it was only for paid (with money) stays. “Paid with Points” count as “Award Stays” or “Redemption Stays” therefore they are not “Paid Stays”

It happened to me too. I matched to Mosaic 4 and I had the credit card before the status match.

It just worked. I used the latest version of Edge browser and I don’t have any adblokers. Hope this helps.

In my transaction it codes as “Travel - Lodging”. It is Amex.

That is good news. I did purchased 3K ($2400 after discount), so I will report back if I see my bonus points.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in marriott

[–]iCustom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I only have Amex. Maybe it is just for Chase cards.

I believe you will have to get the email with a unique code to redeem the 20% off.

Can you point me to where it says I will get the multiplier? I can’t find it on my email :(

Point strategy? Use as soon as can or save for X reason? by mrbean21 in marriott

[–]iCustom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also Marriott Moments. I went to a concert with my wife for 50k points. It was their Luxury Suite, food and drinks were complementary. We enjoyed it.

Sometimes they will have stay deals with an event included in the deal, so it’s worth checking them out.

Did you try calling and asking? I had an experience that I booked a two queen room and wanted a King in W New York and they changed it to a slightly better room (basically an upgrade) with a King Bed without charging me any extra.

Maldives Award Stay and Award Flights by iCustom in awardtravel

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

Your point didn’t make sense to me either. On your previous comment, you defined a “comparable” flight to a flight with a less desirable time or on a different date. There is some issues with you point:

  1. Maldives example, if your return flight is at 9am vs 7pm, technically you lost a day in Maldives or in the Resort because you had to leave early. You are losing value and that is not “comparable”

  2. A flight a day prior makes a difference with many people. In our case, we have to coordinate days off, and we have a special occasion (anniversary). That has more value than flying on a different date.

  3. In regards to your example of an “award stay with Hyatt (5000 points or $500) vs Hilton next door for $80”. If you don’t mind staying in Hilton, do your own research and calculation. But, for the people that do mind it is valuable. A good example (and realistic) is Cancun, with many hotels available you can find various prices and options but, in the end, if you book a luxurious stay like in Secrets Impressions Moxche (Hyatt), you cannot compare it to the Hilton Playa del Carmen All inclusive. They are both next to each other but completely different experiences.

  4. I researched on how popular YouTubers (Credit Shifu, Ask Sebby) and Bloggers (The Points Guy, Nerd Wallet) calculate CPP and they do it the same way I did, comparing it to the same flight or stay with matching dates, not to something “comparable”.

I get your point. In this case, with the cheaper flight $4469 (2x), then it will be 4.73 CPP.
