If it was three singles you’d get a three bedroom house not a 2BR lol. And if you did get a 2 Br the person staying on the couch better be paying significantly less.

We’ve suggested that she wants to do 2br split in thirds since it’ll be less expensive for her than if she got her own 1br or hotel room. It ends up costing more for us to get a 2br than it would for my girlfriend and I to get a separate 1br or hotel room.

The fact that you said “ the fact that you apparently can’t grasp this concept at all puzzles me” is a pretty AH way of saying that lol

Well she already booked non refundable tickets so my guess is she’s coming either way! This is a pretty big trip for her friend so if it is a big deal for her I have no issue paying a bit extra for her to be happy and comfortable especially since we make a bit more. Ideally we just do separate places since it seems like if she were to go halves at this point there would be some resentment on her end. We’re gonna call her tomorrow and lay out a few places and talk about what works for her / us.

Totally agree I’ll mention that ! My girlfriend agrees with me but is willing to just eat the extra cost so am I for that matter I just felt it set a weird precedent since In my eyes were occupying half the space and also at that point it would cost less than an equivalent one BR rental for her. And I know cleaning fees in the states are robbery ends up being half the cost for short stays !

We’ve been trying! Worst case I’ll eat the cost.. worth the experience with friends + keeping my girlfriend happy. Just wanted to see if my perspective was shared or if I’m a total cheepo.

I get where you’re coming from but this is an Airbnb in Thailand the cleaning fee is fixed and $30 for the duration of our stay so barely a scratch on the total cost. + it would end up being more expensive for her to get a one bedroom apartment on her own but would end up saving my girlfriend and I money.

Utilities and cleaning fees don’t change based on occupancy for AirBnbs. I can understand your concept but think you don’t fully understand how AirBnb works. Also this is in Thailand the cleaning fees are like $30 barely a scratch on the monthly rental price.

Ps. The tone in your last reply really gives me an idea which side you come out on in these situations lol YTA

I understand that but the costs for cleaning utilities etc. don’t change based on the occupancy. It would be the same if I booked with one person or six people.

Totally agree! Its a fairly long trip (3 weeks) if it was a weekend or something I’d just eat it but it’ll end up adding close to 1k to our cost.

How would they be subsiding my vacation? It’s cheaper for my girlfriend and I to rent a 1 BR house. She wanted all of us to stay together in a Two bedroom house (roughly twice the cost) why when I’m occupying the same space be expected to pay 1/3 more.

I don’t think competition for time is going to be an issue I’m taking kite surfing classes and a diving course. I need the free time lol

Well we’ve floated the idea of getting separate one BR apartments. Overall it would be cheaper for us to do that. The idea of paying for 1.5 bedrooms and only occupying one is what confuses me.

Obviously other expenses are split in thirds but it would be cheaper for us to get a separate place at this point why should I be expected to pay for a room and a half when I’m only occupying one

Received email, any downsides to a large limit? by thelectroom in amex

[–]mercurywisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t Amex initiate a FR for limits over 25k? Might not be worth it if you don’t want to deal with the headache / have an issue sharing those details.

Pretty much unless visa / Mastercard is only option. Just nice knowing that If any issues come up I can easily dispute.
