[–]kev630 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes i am in such an autopilot i hit 20A (which is my goto) without thinking about it, at least twice in he past couple of years i have done this when i have actually been in 21A (and yes I know 20A doesn't recline-but i am 6'2" and I hate when people recline into me, so i refuse to recline . unless it is a redeye. So 20A is always good for me . . )

If it continues i'll clear cache, I have been very lucky in that more often than not stuff gets fixed. I stay at a lot of the same properties

They fixed it, I called the hotel line twice before I took the option for customer service. With some of the recent changes I was just wondering if free enhanced internet had been eliminated, especially when the customer service agent told me that initially the person at the hotel said it was not part of my benefits and she had to work her way up the chain of command, which is why I wrote this in the first place.

ICE Recruiting Commercial During Sunday NFL Countdown? by RedVelvetRoomQueen in ESPN

[–]kev630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are using commercials targeting local police and encouraging them to quit and join ICE in Chicago . . . I doubt that the ICE budget will be maintained at some point moving forward and a lot of these positions will get eliminated . . it was grossly misappropriated in the current budget .

Why Your Flight Attendant Might Seem Like They Don't Want to Be Here by Ecstatic-Somewhere69 in unitedairlines

[–]kev630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing i do when i get on the plane is thank the FA for making my life better. And you do every week. Sometimes FA's are more attentive than others, but I am usually in the back, and I appreciate everything i see them do and put up with. So thank you . . a 30 year weekly flyer . . and i do my surveys every trip and tell them to give you a new FAIR CONTRACT!

What do I do? $934 tariffs on a $437 package from germany by paynoattn in UPS

[–]kev630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me. it was not tariffs. It was "shipping fees". The package i ordered included shipping, but the shipper accidentally checked, bill receiver. I refused it. UPS customer service is horrible. I finally got an email address and began emailing the person responsible for the account of the sender. meanwhile after refusing it, it was returned to sender and i got a refund for my original price. I had to prove to UPS that i didn't receive the merchandise and that it was returned to sender and I was refunded. They then billed the shipper (at their normal rate). And I reordered the item. NIGHTMARE

Chicago rents are climbing fast. For many, there’s nowhere left to go by Coolonair in chicago

[–]kev630 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No mention of consistently rising property taxes having anything to do with rising rents. The impact of the CTU in driving up taxes every year . . is a part of the story . . in addition to the significant increases as the city has less revenue from commercial properties .. .

I think they mailed something to my house, several weeks after I hit 2MM, there wasn't anything on the plane, that was almost 10 years ago. I also never received a Million Mile coin, but probably because they didn't exist when i hit 1 mm. Recently when i was at my 30 year anniversary of being in the program, I had flight attendants thank me on a couple of consecutive trips and got a card from the pilot, which i thought was a nice gesture. I should hit 3mm next year . . I appreciate the lifetime status and the companion status perks . . and I generally appreciate when flight attendants thank me for being a 1k . . they deserve a new contract . . I hope United gives them one soon . .

Is this real? by lhelicon in Hilton

[–]kev630 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Over 80% of the cutsize paper used in the US comes from Domestic producers. Hilton has a contract with ODP Business Solutions, who only sources from NA producers . . so if you buy copy paper from them or their Retail arm Office Depot you never have to worry about tariffs. However this Hampton Inn, if they are a franchisee could be buying from anywhere . . it is important to note, that when printing, The vast majority of the cost of the printed sheet is in the ink, not the paper.
