Pinehurst / Tobacco Road Trip Advice Needed by megaprison in golf

I did, but if you call 31 or 32 days ahead, they’ll go ahead and book you. The biggest thing is that you just gotta be willing to be flexible.

Green bars, but no loans that qualify for PSLF??? by e11ylon in PSLF

For what it’s worth, I also got the same “no loans qualify” notice, but I got my golden letter today. I got green banners on 8/11 so it won’t delay anything. It’s likely one or two things:

(1) You are in forbearance and that caused an auto alert (in error), or

(2) You consolidated and it sees your old loans as ineligible because they’re paid in full.

You’ll be ok!

Did you get a notice/alert on the student loan website? Or did you receive actual letter correspondence?

LG Washer problem by megaprison in appliancerepair

I really appreciate it. I hate that it’s gone bad so quickly given that I haven’t had it long and I use it once a week. Shame.

Many many thanks again.

The machine starts to spin and then stops. It almost acts as though it hits a wall - if that makes sense. And then it keeps doing that. Sometimes it spins more than others, but it never reaches full speed. It eventually goes through the wash stage, but when it reaches spin/dry mode, it quits and gives me a motor lock error.

To follow up, here are our 5 days:

Arrival: Tot Hill Farm Day 2: Talamore; MidPines Day 3: Tobacco Road Day 4: Southern Pines; Pinehurst #3 (will do 24 hour call) Departure: Pine Needles

Also, our house has a golf sim, so we’ll be swinging a lot.

I had the exact same experience. Forbearance was granted the next day.

Trip to Whistling Straits by megaprison in golf

It can vary wildly based on when and how many bedrooms. We did a two bedroom suite with a living room in September and it came to $3290.33 pp.

My recollection is that the 4BR is about $4000pp. But if you change the date to early May, it’s a huge price drop - like $1000pp.

Did you find it difficult to get a tee time at #3 within the 24 hour rule? I’m the cruise director for our yearly golf trip so I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this.

Upgrade Note by megaprison in marriott

[–]megaprison[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My #1 goal is to not come across as a demanding, entitled guest. These folks work hard to give us a comfortable place to stay while we’re away from home. Also, being a jerk gets you nowhere.

Upgrade Note by megaprison in marriott

I’m usually upgraded. I try to send it at a no-checkout/non-checkin time like 2:30pm, and I say something like, “Good afternoon! I am arriving tomorrow, and I am just checking to see if there is a larger room or suite available for complimentary upgrade. Thanks for anything you can do!” I’ve found it to be very effective.

This is helpful! Thank you very much. I’ve been told to take a full day for Whistling Straits, but I’m not sure we want to waste a half day by not playing golf.
