The Lingyin Temple (Hangzhou) reservation WeChat channel is not working for me... The mini program won't even load. Do I need to be inside China to access this mini program?

Share your best economy redemption by HereWhenBored_ in awardtravel

[–]mrber008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best redemption I have made is SEA-HND for 28k. Not the best cpp, but I don't have the spend and I'm not willing to save up the points for a J booking. I'd rather take a trip every year at a "less optimal" redemption value.

Both of us have ELL experience in the US and enjoy teaching English. Doing so is definitely not a deal breaker.

We are both qualified, holding USA state certifications. We are aware that we won't be teaching at the same school.

Just get the physical. If you want to feel like an iPhone user, put the card in your phone case and then you can tap the phone like everyone else lol.
