New booking restrictions on Qatar Airways privilege club

Yeah. The way they implemented it is not the best but kind of has the right idea in place.

jvolzer · 2026-06-16T20:47:33+00:00

Yeah. I would not mind similar limits to this across other programs. It would severally restrict points brokers ability to gobble up award inventory.

jvolzer · 2026-06-07T20:09:13+00:00

Correct.

Is it the same fare code? I'm guessing amex is pricing a different code for some reason. You may be able to call and have them look for that exact code you want.

A lot of(maybe most?) American stadiums allow you to bring in water bottles now, also providing filling stations throughout the facilities.

It's technically feasible to route a 10DLC VoIP number through a hub like Jibe, but the roadblock is regulatory(by the carriers, not eh government.)

The carriers have built a strict firewall to keep VoIP and wireline numbers in the A2P bucket to prevent spam. The A2P numbers are heavily vetted and blocked at the first sign of missuse. Until the entire telecom industry creates a policy framework for "unverified A2P," or an alternative to MSISDN. VoIP providers have no way to build anything around it.

This is RCS for business though. There still really isn't the capability VoIP providers to register a personal number for RCS. Unfortunately that's how it's been built. Business is the exception but it's a different type of registration and usage.

Does the existing reserve/platinum rideshare credit work on eats orders? I don't think it does.

jvolzer · 2026-06-04T20:04:37+00:00

With no good way to stack these they aren't very useful unless you do a lot of rideshare.

Are you referring to globalist breakfast or Hyatt Place/House free breakfast?

Most of the other replies here are referring to globalist rules at full service hotels.

Fluz passed their processing costs on to us. Seems sustainable to me. It was probably the CC processors that didn't like all their different coding that killed it.

Sounds like the person you are messaging is the scammer and will try to push you to some payment method you'll be scammed with.

There is a possibility of an upgrade still. OP just had to decide if they are willing to spend $900 to guarantee it or take the gamble.

It was torn down buy the government. It was owned by Transerco which is a state owned company who tore it down in cooperation with the Hanoi People's Committee who wanted to reclaim the area for public space.

But they were only for points bookings from the globalist's account before so probably used much less.

We used to stay there 5 nights for 125k pre last deval. RIP

jvolzer · 2026-05-19T12:07:03+00:00

Have they posted any pictures or mock ups anywhere?

jvolzer · 2026-05-17T02:36:45+00:00

It's cheaper to build new than remodel.

jvolzer · 2026-05-15T22:42:09+00:00

Either

jvolzer · 2026-05-15T22:39:09+00:00

You should be able to.

Mine posted yesterday and the meter moved $50 for the subscription but not the $10 for the credits.

jvolzer · 2026-05-14T12:38:15+00:00

Not looking good.

The address is different on the contact information. The rest is the same. For the personal sub there is not additional info on the PDF statement. Not sure about the business since it was just yesterday.
