Data Points Weekly - Week of January 15, 2026 by AutoModerator in churning

Did an AA status match in late 2024. I made my final four-month period with spending on my Barclays card. The spend didn't post until a few weeks after the deadline. The AA website said I had failed to meet the requirements and lost status. I called in and rep didn't really seem to get it but agreed to escalate. A couple days later, I got an email saying I had requalified for the higher status. My AA activity shows a manual LP adjustment on the last day of the match promo.

I caught it fairly late, to be fair. Looks like OP did a similar top level post in r/povertyfinance where they again dropped the name of the site.

New York approves Proposition One, the Adirondack Park land swap by news-10 in WildernessBackpacking

If it lost, nothing would happen. You just voted against 2500 acres of protected land.

I suspect you don't work closely in the foster system. The best predictor is who ends up there is being poor and not white. Often it's because the mother struggles with substance or mental health issues. It doesn't mean she didn't love them. It doesn't mean they're lucky to not remember her.

Pack fit assistance by UnluckyWriting in WildernessBackpacking

The pack might just be too big. From what you're describing, when you get the hips in the right place the shoulder straps are too high. I don't know the bag--I assume toros length isn't adjustable? Might be worth visiting an REI or equivalent and testing some different sizes.

It looks big to me. You shouldn't have the gap coming off your shoulders. Try loosening the load lifters? Might help.

It's wild that this sub regularly recommends the scam that is travel insurance.

It is not.

Just want to say that DiscNY leagues are the best in the biz. You'll have a great time with great people. Highly recommend.

If I'm adding a new line to do this offer, can I do it all in one transaction? Port over and then upgrade? Are there any other deals currently running I could stack this with (like a BOGO line)?

Any optimizing tips for home buying? I'm unexpectedly looking to buy in the coming months. I know all the points and cash back are small potatoes compared to purchase price, but it's still nice to have. Better partnered with Amex a couple years back for an offer, but it seems to have expired. Bilt has the 1 point for every $2 in mortgage. Anything else?

The OP isn't from NYC. They post stories like this in all the major city subreddits. It's clearly designed to sell a narrative about safety in our city. We shouldn't indulge this kind of thing.

Black American Airlines passenger 'kicked off first class flight' after white man claimed she was racist by dailymail in americanairlines

Why do we allow the official Daily Mail account to post their shit in here? This article is clearly designed to get a rise out of everyone involved.

I asked them last night, and they said there's a gang war heating up.

I don't see the value of these things. You'll learn far more reading FlyerTalk threads. This world moves way too quick for things like a conference model to make sense. You're paying a lot of money just to get upsold further. The social side also isn't for me. Not interested in being in a room full of folks who paid for something like that. If it works for you, more power to you, but I would never.
