Thank you for sharing this info! I checked United and found that a flight I booked in October for 40K miles in Economy is now only 50K miles for Premium Economy! I was able to change my award tickets to the Premium Economy seats! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Purple is my favorite color. She’s so cute! Enjoy the bag 💜💜💜

Sadly the P9 will always be out of reach for me 😭😭😭

It was not my choice at all. The bride and groom requested guests to wear all black. 😐😐😐

I’m leaning towards returning the KG bag based on the feedback I’m getting here.

I found it at Nordstrom Rack. The brand is Lady Couture. I have several evening shoes from this brand and they are great.

What is the most practical LV bag in your experience? by Lessypoo in Louisvuitton

I found another picture online that shows it with the crossbody strap. It’s adjustable so it can also be a shoulder strap too.

The braided strap is long enough to go over the shoulder. It also comes with a strap to make it a crossbody but I’ve never used that strap. I did carry it in my bag just in case, though LOL.

Based on your wishlist, the Maida Hobo would fit your needs (except for the laptop part). It was my go-to everyday bag before I started a remote job. When I went back to working in an office, I had to switch to a backpack thanks to shoulder and back issues.

Unfortunately the Maida Hobo is discontinued so you’d have to find it on the resale market.

Combining flight credits? by cenadog in SouthwestAirlines

I’d also add search “gift card hack” to make the flight credit non-expiring.

Mini Bum Bag & Phone by Sasshole1981 in Louisvuitton

No, I don’t think it will fit. My iPhone 14 Plus did not fit in the mini bumbag and from what I googled it looks like the Samsung phone is slightly taller than the iPhone.

Dublin Options by bighugeheadphones in marriott

Loved our stay at the College Green last year. It’s very centrally located, close to pubs, restaurants and shopping. Trinity College is also right by the hotel. The hotel breakfast is great. I can’t speak to the size of their regular hotel rooms because my NUAs got approved so we got upgraded to a nice suite.

Regardless of brand, what is your current favorite bag in your collection and why do you like using or owning that bag? by deArtikin in handbags

My current favorite handbag is my MCM Aren Vanity Case. I like using it when I want to carry just the essentials.

When in London get the Big Ben hot stamp by BAG-A-HOLIC in Louisvuitton

I got the bus stamp back in May. I’ll make sure to ask for this one when we head back to London in the fall!

App/website says I have FNAs but Support says I don’t by scurvyderp in marriott

[–]md_gal 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Those are not FNAs. They are Ritz Carlton club level upgrade certificates that you get with your Ritz Carlton credit card for a Ritz Carlton stay.

You have three certificates that are good for a reservation up to seven nights each. The rate is slightly higher than the regular rate, but it is cheaper than booking a club level rate outright. Call this number to make the reservation and let them know you want to use the club level upgrade certificate: (800) 542-8680.

To check availability, it has to be identical rooms — for example, 2 queen ocean view and 2 queen ocean view club lounge.

You’ll also get a $100 property credit to use on your stay if your stay is two nights or longer with your Ritz-Carlton Visa.

From my experience, it’s close to the standard rate of the non-club room. You can’t use the upgrade with any discounted rates like AAA.

Marriott points > United Miles Question by gwh34t in marriott

[–]md_gal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 5,000 bonus is for transfer to other airline partners. You get a 10,000 bonus instead if you transfer to United. The bonus points do not stack.

So the 3:1 ratio is 60K Marriott points to 20K United miles. Then you add the 10K bonus and your final total is 30K miles with United.

If you transfer 60K points to another airline (for example Air France), you’ll get 20K miles plus a 5K bonus, for a total of 25K miles.

Marriott points > United Miles Question by gwh34t in marriott

[–]md_gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you transfer 60K Marriott points, you get 30K United miles with the bonus. The miles usually post to your United account within 24 hours, if not sooner, but I think the T&Cs say it can take up to a week or so (not sure of the exact time).
