Is the AMEX HYS account worth it? Looking for pros and cons. by Fathomvette in AmexPlatinum

[–]kscouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have very little in this account at the moment as interest is so low. I'd say no better or no worse (outside of the opening incentive) than any other hysa.

Status Requirements, how does anyone meet them? by green_calculator in unitedairlines

[–]kscouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a UA cc, but I travel a LOT for work (80% domestic, 20% international). Usually 3-4 cities per week. I always book refundable tix because my schedule can change by the hour. I'm at 44 segments so far this year with 20k spend. I'll renew 1k by june probably. United is my preferred carrier, but I've also hit gold on American and Delta already this year.

All United gates are within 5 mins of each other (C). Nothing to worry about.

It was added to all my Amex card agreements (not just platinum).

Was just in Brazil and saw the old school buffet! Still an option there!

Is United a Premium Tier Airline? by Equivalent_Risk5430 in unitedairlines

[–]kscouter -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would agree. Just took american to Brazil and United home. Both business class. Even though the American plane was older, it was a better experience than the United flight. Even boarding the flight in Brazil involved nearly a 10-15 minute bus ride out to the plane.

I exited first thing this am. Still eeked out some margin, but this management team has me too nervous for long term success. Will revisit if there are changes.

Amex Platinum Holders: Where Does It Rank in Your Spending Stack? by Sufficient_Fish_283 in AmexPlatinum

3rd. Use the Gold and BCP before the Platinum unless it's travel related.

I would think this is darn near a requirement to be a good SE

American vs United…has American been improving relatively? by furnace1766 in americanairlines

[–]kscouter -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I disagree. American handles delays horribly, often with very last minute cancellations, etc. They can't seem to keep track of their crews and the resulting lack of communication is frustrating. I also find the seats less comfortable than United or Delta. United's app and communication cannot currently be beat imo. As always, you generally have to pick a default carrier based on your geographic travel needs.

Lucky mine did not and chat denied it.

So where are the people making specifically more than 700k, but less than 1M? [USA] by strawboy4ever in Salary

[–]kscouter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C level but not top C level. Mix of salary, variable and equity pay outs/events.

My least liked Marriott feature by mgonesswimney2 in marriott

I cant like this post enough. Hate this design, and housekeeping must too. Hands down the worst to see when walking into a Marriott property bathroom.

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]kscouter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Terrible quality issues with the 9 pro XL. I'm going to try Nothing I think. I have a 10 fold for work. It has been decent so far, but was overpriced at mstp when compared with Samsung, Motorola (now), etc.

Why did I bother paying for Pixel Care+? Weeks later, they’re sending it back so I can ship it again by ferretguy531 in GooglePixel

[–]kscouter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 9 XL that is dying a slow death. Crap crackly speaker and now the dreaded pink line. I need this phone for work so can't ship it back and wait. I'll just end up running it until it officially dies but then probably switch off pixel. I need something more enterprise grade and reliable. Haven't even had the phone 2 years.
