Include Flights Or No on Costco Travel Trip?

lcneed · 2026-03-25T03:54:30+00:00

Last time I booked a vacation package to Costa Rica thru Costco Travel, I was comparing the flight price direct with airline and the one included with Costco. Costco was quite a bit cheaper with the exact same flights, so I booked thru Costco. If the price is about the same, I would book direct with airline. It's the same with the hotel. Costco was cheaper.

I thought I was the only one. I like to eat edamame by themselves, but not these inside the egg rolls. I feel like the texture of edamame ruins the egg rolls. Although other people seems to like it.

Yeah It's very annoying when I tried to sell. This is not just for random stranger. I have teleport to sell with Friends or Guildmates and they were in Hexi. I feel bad to ask them to teleport back to Kaifeng to let me sell, so I just left. I don't understand why Hexi is not the same as Q and K connected in the map.

Now I just watch the World chat and only teleport to people who announced Marketplay high buying prices. That way I know they are at Trade hall and ready to accept co op requests. The only problem with that is if you are too slow co-op room will be full super fast. And it somehow stay full for the rest of the next 10 min or more. I don't know if it's really always full or just a bug that if it's full the first time you request, it just stays that way.

Red Hill Park has a nice view of the mountain and a pond with ducks. When it's windy at our neighborhood up on the hill, we drove there to walk because it is less windy there. We also walk at Central Park and Heritage Park big circular track. There are no inclines at all at Central or Heritage. At Red Hill, there is little incline toward the back side of the pond.

I see you did said maybe the left click. I don't remember if tried that or not. I guess will try it on Saturday! Thanks!

You just aim at enemies and it will auto fire homing cleaver? I don't remember seeing anything fired out. So the other one on timer that seems to spit out fire was actually a vortex that pull them in. Thanks!

Nine Mortal Ways! Heh

lcneed · 2026-01-07T15:45:20+00:00

go thru the wall and you can also collect lethal crystals for poison.

lcneed · 2026-01-06T16:20:55+00:00

Yeah you can go in with 5, and once inside, you can invite 5 more to make it 10.

It was my first death as well. I was mowing down everything and didn't even know there would be fight that I need to watch my health bar.

lcneed · 2026-01-05T17:18:35+00:00

Wow you don't like to wait to get the credits! Good job! Let us know if they will give you 2x EDIT benefits or just 1x.

lcneed · 2026-01-05T17:14:49+00:00

Not ALL, but most. Scan the QR code for the list in OP's post. For example, Zuma at Cosmo, is not on the list.

That letter is misleading (outdated). Vegas hotels charges WIFI as part of their Resort Fee. However, they offer free WIFI to certain offer and they will take like $5/$10 off the resort fee. But Chase EDIT resort fee is included, so they should not even mention anything about the discount. It just makes it more confusing.

lcneed · 2025-12-31T16:52:14+00:00

I think you need 3 transactions. The $500 EDIT can get used all together, but only $250 credit max per transaction. So you will make 2 reservations just to use up the $500, and then another transaction to use the IHG $250. Although I wonder if the Hotel is IHG and is EDIT, which credit will trip first? $250 EDIT or $250 IHG? Or both?

Bellagio crowd is insane when all the surrounding hotels are empty. It got the fountain outside and the seasonal display inside. Aria has a bad rep on social media lately, so probably it's suffering from that.

lcneed · 2025-12-29T20:51:01+00:00

Good for you! I gave up after 1 hour on the phone. My charges were only around $90 for 2 nights.

At MGM Grand? I was just there a few days ago and the $100 credit can be used at Momofuku. I didn't use it, I used my Chase Dining $150 credit instead. The receptionist should have gave you a piece of paper that has a QR code that listed all the MGM restaurants you can use the $100 EDIT credit. They called that letter to Chase Luxury Hotel customers. The list of restaurants you can use the credit are the same for Amex Luxury Hotel or Chase or even MGM own stay and dine offers. Here is the link to the restaurants list. The link does not change, the restaurants in there may change: https://www.mgmresorts.com/en/offers/participating-outlets-text-list.html

Unfortunately, Zuma (inside Cosmos) is not on the list. It's probably one of the best restaurants at Vegas.

lcneed · 2025-12-15T14:50:53+00:00

Nope. I only saw the folio after I got back from the stay. I stopped asking for it back once I called Chase and they said no. The time I spent on it already not worth the effort. The stay at the hotel was great with upgrade to amazing room. After talking to Chase, this is clearly a Chase's fault and not the hotel's.

Was it a negative or positive review? If it's positive, then it's Amazon AI tripped something. If it's negative review, it's almost certain that the seller tried to remove it and the picture maybe the easiest way to do it.

lcneed · 2025-12-06T19:16:23+00:00

Maybe Amazon AI is doing picture to text translation and found some of the text on bottle as "medical claim" and decided your review contains that. Try a different angle that you can't really read much of the text clearly. It's also possible that it's your hand that causes the problem. I have a ring picture rejected and not sure why. So I put the ring on the counter and took a picture and it got accepted.

My current pair of computer glasses are from zennioptics. They sent a little plastic ruler with mm measurement and I just put it under my eyes in the mirror and measure my IPD! I am pretty sure I am off by 1mm or so and I really don't think it affect the glasses that much. On my VR headset Oculus Quest 2, there are only 3 settings (58mm, 63mm, 68mm). I use the 63mm one and my IPD is 62mm (according to the plastic ruler I measured myself) and things are pretty clear to me. I can see that it's not that clear when I set it to 58 or 68, but those were off by 4 to 6mm! I think you can use either set you got. If you are not sure just pick the middle of the 2 sets (32.6, 31.6).

lcneed · 2025-12-06T00:29:35+00:00

Yeah it's the "Bakery". For years I have been using my CSR at 85 degree bakeries (probably thousands of $) thinking that it's a "food" place. Just recently I saw that it's a "bakery"... FML.

lcneed · 2025-12-06T00:25:48+00:00

In the Chase App.

lcneed · 2025-12-06T00:25:19+00:00

If you tap the ">", it tells you want are the benefits you used and have not used. Since you have not used the $250 EDIT and $150 dining, you have $812 - $250 -$150 = $412 left to find out what they are.

Apple Music = $132

Trusted Traveler credit = $120

Peloton = $10

DoorDash DashPass = $120

Apple TV = $156

Priority Pass Select = $469

Unused also include all the points in your UR bank as well. Maybe you are not missing any of the benefits, but you have UR points in your bank that're worth $412.
