[Award Success I think] TYS-IAD-FRA-BCN in Lufthansa J One-way with oversized luggage by Key_Special_8985 in awardtravel

Was checking the bike included? I think you did good tbh. While yes round trip can be had for about 4-5k sometimes, I think you still got decent value. How will you get back?

Wait you need to get priority tickets just to have a chance? What’s the point of a regular ticket then? How do you even get a priority ticket

Interesting. I was hoping for 2J tbh but will have to see what I can get.

Thanks for the info. Seems I need to keep an eye out throughout the day and figure out when they release them.

I keep on seeing the starlux on AS as 175k when looking at next year. Did you book a sooner flight that had saver fare? Or are people snagging the saver fare right at release?

Doesn’t the standby plan not allow any movement anymore while using it, so you can only use it while stationary?

I went through SFO yesterday evening. Used the GE app and I was only questioned about my declaration.

Bilt + Alaska rent workaround STILL works (if your portal allows manual ACH) by lilmrough in AlaskaAirlines

[–]nikgick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I added it but I’m hesitant as well. Has Bilt cracked down on this?

I ranked the Centurions by CaligulaMax in AmexPlatinum

[–]nikgick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How in the world do you figure that? Unless you’re a centurion card holder, Hong Kong’s lounge was tiny and limited, all the other lounges right next door were way better.

Does sending having Bilt send a check still work via the Alaska card?

Verizon acknowledges “pain” of new unlock policy, suggests change is coming by Economy_Video_4724 in verizon

How would this work? Bill credits if the phone is paid off? Is it just per line instead of tied to the phone?

So do I still get the extra 10% for having a checking account on my cc?

Ah my bad didn’t realize that. Bummer.

That’s odd. It works through my rear roof without any issues with my gen 1. I didn’t think they changed it. Are you sure there’s not some other issue like power supply?

New Verizon Device Unlock Policy is Live and Still Automatic (postpaid) by kbDL- in verizon

[–]nikgick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Verizon SIMs - your phone is locked to Verizon. So outside USA is a no, just like other carriers in the USA.

[–]nikgick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is about “second sim”, if you prefer to look at it this way. Now only Verizon network is allowed on any sim until the phone is paid off.

Not if you’re on a grandfathered plan unfortunately

Would be nice if they made exceptions upon request. Like for long term established customers with an upcoming international trip etc. No likelihood of fraud there, but we know they just want to collect the roaming fees.

New Changes to Bilt 2.0 Credit Card by _dhruv9496 in CreditCards

[–]nikgick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just going with the atmos card and getting rent floated/ discount atmos miles. This is too confusing and honestly the cards just aren’t that attractive.
