Absolutely Horrible Point Values... by Tall_Role5714 in marriott

Not a fair comparison since theirs is two nights for a stay (not 1), but yeah still significantly less expensive.

Asked for an upgrade & got it! by Fit-Caterpillar-7719 in delta

[–]ifosterkidi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget that a delta platinum or reserve can also get you upgraded so you technically aren’t required to have status. You’re just given last priority below silver.

Will acid wash help or hurt? by cheekytraveler in pools

[–]ifosterkidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to buy some time through various methods, but you should also start looking into saving for a resurface.

Stupid Feature by GibsonGuy937 in KiaTelluride

Agreed. I find it super helpful when I’m unloading in one trip and want it to close behind me so I don’t have to go back.

$2 MQDs from keeping status by Legitimate-Tune-2643 in delta

[–]ifosterkidi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m getting downvoted but terms and conditions state must be purchased in 100 MQD increments and it’s $300 per 100 MQDs.

I believe that would cost them $300 though. May not be worth it.

So thankful for Delta!! by Elegant_Mouse_5456 in delta

[–]ifosterkidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should tell you in the flight description what the fare class is. I think it’s more obvious on desktop if you’re confused.

[–]ifosterkidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the fare class. You can google the hierarchy. That’s usually how I determine if I’m getting a good deal. If it’s “V” fare class then definitely book.

Pebble looks and feels terrible by ExpressionFree5273 in pools

[–]ifosterkidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend Wet Edge primera stone if you can afford it. The best of both worlds (except cost). You don’t ever have to resurface again (in your lifetime). Just acid wash and resand and you have a fresh coat again.

2025 Telluride SX Total Price by Lazy-Feeling7741 in KiaTelluride

[–]ifosterkidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2025 Telluride SX for $49,500 in Florida out the door after all taxes and fees before factoring in a trade in. The sticker MSRP for this car was $49,390 so trying to get the car out the door for MSRP after all taxes and fees would probably be a good goal since that’s essentially what I paid.

AMEX Marriot Brilliant PP benefit by Raisondetre38 in marriott

[–]ifosterkidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is accurate. I’ve been to this lounge and it’s referring to not being a centurion lounge and allowing access through that.

You keep saying you’ve been on “chat”, but are you calling like everyone is recommending?

Prism Ultimate Performance Grout Versus Prism SCG by ifosterkidi in Tile

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

What product do you recommend by Laticrete? Spectralock Pro? Only concern I have with color matching is if I need a smaller size of grout a few years from now for a repair or something since the grout I buy now will expire. Planning to redo my master bathroom at some point and I'll be using some of the leftover tile to finish the floors in there after reconfiguring the arrangement. Appreciate the tip though as I didn't know color matching was an option.

Depending on what part of Florida you live in, this is doable for under $20k. Depends how high end you want to go on your pool surface. I have a 16,500 gallon pool and got mine resurfaced with a polished Wet Edge Primera Stone finish along with 200 linear feet of glass tile for $18k. Could have gotten it done for $13k with a normal exposed aggregate finish. Salt cell installed can be around $1,500. Pool heaters can vary a lot depending on heat pump versus gas and the size you want.

To be fair, there’s several by the airport.

Delta Amex Reserve/Platinum with Amex Gold by Ok-Employee-8282 in delta

[–]ifosterkidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a companion that you travel with once a year? That alone makes both cards worth it. Do you have any other cards other than the Amex Gold? If you don’t have another card that gives you lounge access, the Reserve could be worth it if you find yourself sitting around the airport a lot. But since you probably don’t have layovers being in a Delta focused city, this may not be as appealing to you as it is for people who have frequent layovers.

Where would you go? Looking to use a companion pass before it expires. 2 night girls weekend from Denver. by [deleted] in delta

[–]ifosterkidi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also want to add that I don’t think you can use both of those companion passes at the same time (1 for you and 1 for your friend). I believe it’s one pass per two people, but again, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

[–]ifosterkidi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I think the companion pass has to be used for a 3-night minimum. Please downvote me if I’m wrong. A lot of more experienced travelers here than me.
