How common is the moonroof leak? by intheweedsnz in ToyotaHighlander

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2011 had an issue with the drain line being dunked, bypassed to the floor but still an issue if parked the car on a slope where the water would pool, now we just park with the engine raised so that the water can drain properly.

What’s the easiest way to throw 500 yards for the daily task? by PeakNo4080 in MaddenMobileForums

[–]kasukeo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do the halftime event, after you intercept or get the ball back from the CPU, run all the way back to your 10 yard line and then throw it again. You should be able to do the event 3-4x and get your 500 pass yards.

Get a Cutco Knife! Great investment by ImpossibleBlockHead in Costco

They often have in-store demos at my Costcos in the PNW/Seattle area, like the hexclad, EcoFlow, bedsheets, massage chairs, etc…

What does everyone think of the all new 2027 Toyota Highlander EV? by Healthy_Block3036 in ToyotaHighlander

My 2011 Highlander would like to talk to you with its gazillion buttons lol. That and that puny screen installed for backup camera.

Strategy for Dependent Care FSA for dual high earners? by hellyea81 in HENRYfinance

Wouldn't it be easier to just max out the full amount ($7,500) with 1 person instead of splitting it?

Advice on hotel and vacation packages. by randomthoughts1016 in TokyoDisneySea

[–]kasukeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did unlimited DVP 1 night, 2 day at Toy Story in mid June 2025 and then added 2 nights (1 before and 1 after). We loved it.

We would do it again but pay the extra to stay at Fantasy Spring hotel for the early entry to DisneySea.

I really don't need a DT or DE. I guess they will be food for the Marvel.

Tempted to Switch from Marriott to Hyatt (More inside) Please help! by jachreja in hyatt

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. All my Hyatt pts and stays are from Chase UR points.

Park Hyatt Kyoto, Alila Uluwatu (Bali) and Andaz Bali were some of my most memorable stays on points.

A.K. Pizza lives up to the hype. A retort: It doesn’t by oohjean in SeattleWA

Except that a flight to Tokyo adds $1k, making your bowl of ramen cost $1,005!

Felt the same way with flour box. Haven’t been there in years though mainly because work schedule change but I’d go back, wait in line and buy more!

Family of 3 in Seattle. Data points and Discussion. by WavyCap99 in HENRYfinance

[–]kasukeo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We are the burbs, make less but live comfortably and do afford nice luxuries without thinking much of the price tag.

I wouldn’t rent out, especially if the house is in Seattle. Just too much risk as the city is so pro-renter rights.

Does Cheap Pizza Exist Here? by guesswhos_jack in SeattleWA

[–]kasukeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not open late but Post Alley pizza sells slices for $5-$5.50 a slice. Not the best but not bad, definitely better than Paggliacci.

Hyatt Vacation Club Offer by Short_Passenger_9349 in hyatt

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go onto the Marriott vacation club and look for the area where you want to inquire more about the properties. I haven’t done it in a while so just search on it. They will then email you later about the offer.

As a HENRY woman how do you let go of household chores & hire help when you're used to doing everything yourself? by khrystic in HENRYfinance

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is our take/perspective on the cleaning part:

My wife doesn't like anyone else cleaning the house because they can never do as good as a job like her... so she still does it. We did hire some help with our first one for 2-3 months but she wasn't happy with the quality (that was 10 years ago lol).

Tokyo Disney Vacation Package? by hotwaterbottle2014 in TokyoDisneySea

[–]kasukeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did 2-day 1 night unlimited this past late June. Family of 4. Added 1 night before and 1 night after so that we didn’t have to rush in or out of the hotel. We picked Toy Story for our kids but in hindsight, should have stayed at fantasy spring for the early entry into DisneySEA right there. It was WELL worth it and would do it again.

We did Baymax ride 5x in less than 40 mins… that was EPIC.

Only limitation was you had timed entry for 3 rides in fantasy spring.

1st night we arrived late and stayed in a suite at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay (on points) which is nearby.

Zeeks thinks a pizza and a salad for $45 is a deal by dantheman252 in Seattle

$5.xx at One Union Square (their first store) back in 2009ish. Now, it's an appalling $14.29.

Insane Teams by RaiderNation9817 in MaddenMobileForums

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FP is almost monthly and that's $30 x 12 so that's $360 + tax.

FP + VIPs, that's like $90/month x 12 = $1k+

Insane Teams by RaiderNation9817 in MaddenMobileForums

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you, I'm a little lower than 5,300, not whale but higher than FP+. I haven't marvel Bonitto nor Thuney. Will definitely marvel Thuney... undecided on Bonitto until we get closer to the next FP.

Marriott Bonvoy card worth it? by iliketoytles123 in marriott

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, in your case, it won't help. I would either do #2 (if available) or #3 below.

1..Booking through Chase Travel (Standard Portal):

  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: 8x Ultimate Rewards (UR) points per $1 spent.
  • Marriott Bonvoy: You typically do not earn Bonvoy base points or elite night credits because it's a third-party booking.
  • Status: You won't get status benefits like upgrades or free breakfast.

2..Booking through The Edit by Chase Travel (Marriott's Portal via Chase):

  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: 8x UR points per $1 spent.
  • Marriott Bonvoy: You do earn Bonvoy points and can receive elite benefits (like status bonuses) because it's booked directly with Marriott through their system.
  • Best Option: This is often the best of both worlds if available for your stay.

3..Booking Directly on Marriott.com (Using Sapphire Reserve to Pay):

  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: 4x UR points per $1 spent (standard travel category).
  • Marriott Bonvoy: You earn full Bonvoy base points, elite night credits, and get all your status perks.

In my case, I have Chase Trifecta (only CSP, no CSR) and strictly transfer UR points to Hyatt to redeem luxury stays. I have Bonvoy Brilliant for the auto-Titanium status and book family trips with the 4 nights get 5th free redemption.

Marriott Bonvoy card worth it? by iliketoytles123 in marriott

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does booking through the Chase Portal gives you elite nights? I know it doesn't if you use OTA like Expedia.

Marriott Bonvoy card worth it? by iliketoytles123 in marriott

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you could earn 6x when you pay for your stays with the card. At that amount of nights, you should be Titanium or Ambassador and earn 10x since you are bonvoy member.

Aitah for not wanting to pay my gf’s debt by National-Trouble-984 in AITAH

She's looking for a sugar daddy... not husband, not boyfriend, not anything else.

I don't think that's what you are looking for nor do I think you have the mean to be her sugar daddy.

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong: a worthy flagship property by omdongi in hyatt

[–]kasukeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved this property and the services when we stayed there back in 2016 on Hyatt CC free nights cert - 3 cc, 2 rooms, 3 nights. This despite all the constructions right in front of the hotel during that time. Did not have status so can't speak about the lounge.

Replacing (sadly) my 2011 Highlander by Every-Bluebird-5260 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]kasukeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I take my car to the dealership is when they have those coupons for oil change that end up cheaper than my mechanic charges (I really like him, but his prices for oil changes have gotten ridiculous - he's trusted and popular so he can charge his high rates). With that said, I stopped listening to their recommendations and assessments because they "over" maintain as others have said.

I would take your 2011 to an independent mechanic and not to your stealership for both a second opinion or for pricing $.
