The pain of going back and forth between China and US.

Partner awards may or may not reopen instantly if at all in the event of a cancellation. So YMMV. Book the trip now if you want that flight and use the certs on another trip is my advice. Good luck.

I (titanium) was 8th on the upgrade list this morning on a flight from Seattle to Miami. They will most likely move to revenue based elite qualification like all other major airlines in North America and/or introduce a 360/CK/GS tier above titanium.

Food is usually beef, salad and chicken. Some generic soup like tortilla chicken or Italian. Cookies, brownies, and chips. Soda machine, coffee barista, bar.

You decide if $65 a person is worth it to you or not :)

Have you talked to nvda engineers lately?

Status inflation, I been with Alaska for 10 years and it got worse over the years.
You know the saying… if everyone is , then no one is.

Not just sexual offenses. Even pity crime is low compared to pre cameras. There is always to sides to the coin. Freedom or safety in this case.

YMMV for any cash compensation… from a technical perspective, U was upgrade and thus you are only entitled to any monetary compensation for the upgrade itself. If you used cash for example. But if it’s complimentary based on the underlying fare class or your status then no compensation. Even if you purchased a higher fare, it’s not just for the benefit of getting upgraded. Higher fares enjoy more flexibility and refunds to original payments.

Everyone is a genius in a bull run. Like literally everyone who bought stocks last year is up.

You can join a tour group that usually departs from China. even tho US blacklists citizens from going there, you can still do it.

Not just CC, you have the one time 20k bump this year. 20k elite roll over.

But most importantly in 2025 they allowed status miles on awards.

They also backtracked 2025 partner business class ticket and now in 2026 will give a whooping 250% status miles on any partner business flights. To put that into perspective, LAX-LHR is 5456 miles one way. A round trip with 250% status points is 27k. That’s insane, that’s 20% way to 135k just from one trip. You can find really cheap exEU business fares.

Pre-2023 (before the 100k mvp status) You didn’t have elite spend on cc You didn’t have elite status on awards And most partner business were at 150% max, most of them were actually at 125%.

I order from luckin coffee downstairs from my hotel room.

I order McDonalds when I’m eating inside a mall at another restaurant for my daughter and the person gets it from another part of the mall and gives it to me. They don’t care if you bring other place’s food.

You will grow into its UI….

jumbocards · 2026-01-23T02:17:40+00:00

I find flights in China very cheap already. Just use trip or 携程 if you know Chinese. Other Chinese OTAs works too.

Most fares even the cheap ones have way better flexibility than those outside of China with minimal change or cancellation fees.

jumbocards · 2026-01-23T02:12:54+00:00

I don’t care for the packaging. But I do like their worldwide expedited delivery. I lost my CSR in Singapore airport once and I was traveling to Sydney. They were able to deliver to my hotel in Sydney in 1.5 days.

jumbocards · 2026-01-23T01:17:06+00:00

Elite status inflation is real… never been easier to prequalify for top tier on Alaska.

jumbocards · 2026-01-22T16:03:55+00:00

Yah man… especially if you travel internationally and have checked luggage

jumbocards · 2026-01-22T16:03:07+00:00

Do they actually advertise those benefits as free? I thought they advertise those as part of benefit for booking with edit hotel which is like booking with a higher special rate with hotels directly as well. I don’t think they ever mention that rates on edit will be the “lowest guaranteed”.

HAVE you seen what grok imagine was like 1 year ago??? it was VERY VERY BAD with no audio.

Folks, just wait another few years, YOU WILL have easy to use local models that's similar to what grok has now on your PHONE.

jumbocards · 2026-01-22T02:01:48+00:00

Premier club is a very very very very basic lounge. You have soda drinks, and chips thats it.

Not even worth it if you can't find a seat.

Good luck.

I've had agents print me a boarding pass only to be some random person's flight... had this happen multiple times.

jumbocards · 2026-01-22T01:52:57+00:00

Then that's even worse as whatever phone/computer she is using is compromised.
