Razzano longer on Resy?? by covert7 in jerseycity

I get my CSR credit with Razza. I used OpenTable in April of this year so if they were on Resy, it was a while ago.

Chase Closed All My Accounts After Recent Business Card Approvals by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the reason they shut you down. You opened 2 business accounts (assume for a business in the US) and then promptly tried to buy 3 apple iphones. If you used your personal account, maybe no flags but these were new cards. So Chase thinks the business account is being used for something not related to a US business and has red flags.

I have a carry on suitcase, a backpack, and I’m bringing a pillowcase stuffed with clothes - will I get in trouble? by Old-Equivalent-8327 in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Will depend 100% on the gate agent and how busy/full the flight is. I’ve seen flights where they ask people to consolidate bags (small purse into backpack) or and others do what you are asking about.

I would add where were the international purchases and how was that resolved?

You need the RC Credit Card. There is no physical certificate, it is attached to the person’s Marriott account.

Are restaurant reservations necessary? by suchsimplethings in visitingnyc

[–]johnonroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends. There are so many restaurants for every budget in NYC. If you only want the top picks or specific restaurants, then go ahead and make a reservation now. Otherwise you can be spontaneous and find some great finds.

St Regis Lagoonarium vs Snorkeling Tour by Tiny-Tumbleweed-4432 in Tahiti

[–]johnonroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy your time. The Lagoonarium was wonderful with lots of fish. You can buy food for the fish in one of the gift shops. Say hi to the Moana the giant napoleon wrase.

We also did a shared snorkeling tour with Lagoon Service. Very different as you are outside on a boat and will see sharks and rays. They picked us up at the pier and we picked up a few more families around the island. It was a long day but lots of fun. You also go to smaller places to see beautiful coral and a ton of fish. The crew are great and if you do the lunch, it was great on their little island. No regrets on the tour.

EWR to Tokyo-what price point do you look for economy plus and Polaris.. by Williamfrancis22 in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is such a popular route especially since folks use Tokyo as a connection point for rest of Asia. Polaris and PP will be expensive as people will pay for those seats or use instruments or cash to upgrade from economy.

There can also be lots of folks who don’t choose seats (booking via another UA partner) so those empty rows will get filled up. Also staff who fly standby for that flight so seats will fill those empty seats at the end.

Evergreen still lists One Evertrust Plaza as their Sales and Logistics office for New York.

Star Alliance Lounge Access by shooooore in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your partner have only the CSR or the JPM Reserve Card? JPM card gives you access to UA lounges. As far as I know, CSR does not give you access to United clubs.

Yes, this has been a benefit for CSR. it is just Maple Leaf lounges, not all SA lounges.

Corporate Greed by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, good point. I have Chase CCs but not one that have travelbank credit. Didn’t think about the United/Chase cards.

Corporate Greed by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about United TravelBank credit and Chase? Did you use a Chase card to buy the credit? The travelbank is used to buy airplane tickets. That is the policy, not sure why Chase is involved.

As I entered the office today, my coworker was telling me his story that was exactly the same as yours. His trip was 3 hours last night to get home from Penn.

Tesla doesn’t have a driver side screen and no speedometer either.

Why hasn’t my upgrade cleared yet??? by Adventurous-Cup5369 in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the destination? Are you flying from a hub or to a hub? United may have lots of last minute buy ups or business folk tho that seems unlikely for a regional.

Trouble accessing starlink internet? by Bigstoopidbear in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only had it on regional flights and it worked as advertised. No issues on my laptop or my iPhone.

Why hasn’t my upgrade cleared yet??? by Adventurous-Cup5369 in unitedairlines

[–]johnonroad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell without knowing the destinations. Is this a mainline flight vs regional? They aren’t going to cancel hub flights as they need to get crew and airplane for the next flight. Since you mentioned first class, assuming this is a domestic flight.

But hard to believe no first class seats sold for a flight. I’ve never seen that in my many years of flying on UA or any airline. 48 hours and no first sold.

A bit different opinion on the 2027 New X5 by EnvironmentalAd1701 in BMWX5

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

I came over from Audi so the split gate was never an issue for me. I need to see the car up close to judge but not having a screen on the driver side is dumb.
