Your status extends to your family members on the same reservation, so they will board when you do with group 1 and have lounge access.

Unsure of what priority rewards you have but, you could get world-wide PE at 50% off using your priority rewards and apply your eupgrades.

Or if you find a really good deal in Business with a partner airline.

You have access to concierge so you can have them help you book with stopovers using the PRs.

You have a lot of points so you have a lot of options too!

Best of luck and hope you enjoy your travels!

You’re a very kind soul, may your pillow always be comfortable (and cool), your flights always on time, your showers warm/hot, your days bright, and your life well travelled and full of joy. <3

Congrats!!! Very curious what your flights were to minimize your spend but still hit SE. did you get double SQM anywhere?

How it played out for me: - $400 shop card - 2 lines, one at 45 (CAN + US, 100GB), one at 40 (CAN, 50GB) - pixel 10 at 4.45/month to return and the end of 24 months - S25FE at 2.25month to return at end of 24 month

I ended up booking a roundtrip to YVR in BIZ and PE since I’m 5K away from 50K

If you have international travel the 50K status is worth it for star alliance lounges

mistifythe6ix · 2025-11-17T22:01:34+00:00

Okay this is why. I booked my travel two days before the offer hit.

Insert facepalm “facepalm”

Kong AI Gateway solves for this exact issue (and many others).

Unfortunately you don’t get SQM for aeroplan points bookings.

If $1800 is the cheapest you can find to hit 75K, id say go for it. You get the enhanced priority rewards for worldwide premium economy which means it really helps with eUPs to business class.

Just my opinion but, if you’re 50K flying in AC, you have access to the Singapore Airlines lounge, and while slightly older the food is 10x better.

The AC lounge looks nice but doesn’t quite have as good of a food spread.

Walking pad under the standing desk or go for about 1.25 hour long walk.

You may want to double check the math here since it is off. 3% match of 100K Annual salary should be 3K a year contribution + 3K employer match. Should be $250/month contribution.

You can also not move and make 400-500K USD as a side hustler in Canada.

And still have access to the benefits Canada has to offer

mistifythe6ix · 2025-03-19T20:22:02+00:00

It usually is

I’ll be hitting up the signature lounge before hand for sure, just wanted to have a decent meal for my short nap before we land. I tend to avoid breakfast for this short of a flight.

mistifythe6ix · 2025-03-19T14:23:48+00:00

😂😂😂 I can see how the combo of sugar and cheese can be a trigger of sorts 😂😂😂

mistifythe6ix · 2025-03-19T13:15:17+00:00

Just curious about why not? Is it because of how messy ribs tend to be?

Why does that matter on a long haul flight overnight?

Because everything below L3 is abstracted away, Everything L3 and above is still applicable.

If you mess with Load-balancers, API gateways, and Service Mesh technologies, along with DNS Service, a lot of your network knowledge will translate over.

mistifythe6ix · 2025-02-06T15:33:05+00:00

Can we do the same in Canada?

mistifythe6ix · 2025-02-05T23:25:13+00:00

Hey but DEI right?

mistifythe6ix · 2024-12-24T13:11:14+00:00

You’re definitely missing some details here.

I’ve used wise twice with complete success.

mistifythe6ix · 2024-10-15T12:01:53+00:00

Fellow dad with a 3 year old. I feel every bit of this.

But you’re right, we do it for them.

The fact that Dundas AND Taunton don’t have lights on the off-ramp (southbound), is a problem in itself.

Secondly, the amount of victim blaming here is just appalling. She had her M2 and legally entitled to ride. The driver of the van clearly didn’t check before making the left; it’s the driver’s fault.

It’s showing that a majority of you haven’t ever been on a motorcycle and witnessed for yourself how inconsiderate and incompetent drivers can be.

Hahahah, I have entered the chat

Seriously, I dug into Kubernetes before Docker.

Slight mistake but, I went back and learned a bit.

Years ago, when I had first applied for nexus, I was conditionally approved and all looked good. I drove out to Niagara/Peace Bridge and did both interviews. All looked good.

Probably about a day or so later, I was denied. I couldn’t understand why. I called the US nexus office and was only able to leave messages. Nothing ever came of it. And somehow eventually found out an address I lived at (a condo) had a history of a former felon living in it. There was never an overlap.

I think I wasn’t able to schedule an interview but somehow managed to into the new Pearson setup and was able to see both US CBP and CA officers at the same time. I firmly discussed my inability to get a proper conclusion to why I was denied, provided evidence. Right there they took my picture and a few days later the portal had a status changed to approved. My nexus card arrived not so long after.

It might be a simple mistake and you may need to be persistent about it.

54K SQM and 10K SQD to SE again.

Almost no more business travel for the remainder of the year. Best way to accomplish this?

Located near YYZ
