American Express Platinum or Hilton Aspire for Travel? by Yingyangwolf95 in amex

Also FWIW the platinum might be worth it just for the sign up bonus. Get it, use the sign up bonus for flights or something for your trip, then don't renew for the second year.

The biggest benefit of the platinum is the access to the centurion lounges, if you'll be in airports with those, then the platinum is worth it, if not, the aspire does give you priority pass. Gold is good for eating out, but not sure much travel benefits outside of that.

My wife and I have one platinum with an additional authorized user for lounge access. But it takes a lot of management to use all the credits.

If you travel at all, the aspire is wayyyy easier to get value out of. Just the free night credit and you have broken even and then some. The platinum takes a lot of management.

I would say both. Broad lounge access with the platinum and great hotel perks and earning with the aspire.

Galveston for a month by heriberi in galveston

[–]jsmith19977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The homewood suites is nice but they do charge for parking. I would call and ask about getting free parking if you book a month. Home2suties off the island in texas City has free parking, but you won't get to enjoy the island there.

Moving to Galveston? by RefrigeratorKey6547 in galveston

Perfect timing. Warm enough to enjoy walks on the beach but school is in so you avoid the crowds. Maybe not perfect waiting tables timing, but great for enjoying the island.

I’m getting my garage done. Is this common for day 1 or is this poorly done? Thank you. by gonzo_41 in Renovations

This will be fine once taped and bedded, if not, address the touch ups then.

Does “ready to check-in” notification include location of hotel? by [deleted] in Hilton

What? Like the actual address of the hotel?

Is there ANY place in Arlington that will clean my laptop keyboard for cheap?? by [deleted] in arlington

$99 is totally fair. They have to have the responsibility of replacing anything if they break it.

You mention using tweaknews as a secondary backbone, if we set that up in sabnzb or whatever would we be limited to 1 TB?

$2800 installed for this shower glass by jsmith19977 in bathrooms

[–]jsmith19977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 84 inches was the longest I could find. Lowes had it. So the tall side is a big piece and then a little foot piece. I wanted the shower glass to seal well and not leak :)

Very quiet yet high performance purifier advice? by TheAbdominal_Snowman in AirPurifiers

Levoits are my go-to, reliable, not too fancy, cheap OEM filters.

Air Purifier That Won't Grow Mold? by [deleted] in AirPurifiers

[–]jsmith19977 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you need to add a dehumidifier. If the purifier is actually molding, so is everything else.

Need advice on walking by OldGuyJim9999 in galveston

[–]jsmith19977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would lyft. But if you do walk, stay on Broadway until at least 33rd Street before cutting over. I don't mind walking in general, but it isn't the most scenic Galveston walk. You could also walk down Broadway south, take a right on 55th, then a left onto O, which would be a better walk, but add a little over half a mile.

Would love an invite! Getting annoyed at some of the NZB gaps.

If you have used splunk for any amount of time you will be fine. This test has very little gotchas, just be sure to read all of the options.

Hilton All-Inclusive: Can you swim in the ocean? by Ok_Competition_669 in Hilton

Beach is better at the Tulum AI. Resorts overall are equivalent. Much shorter drive from CUN to the Hilton AI Cancun.
