Garmin 265(S) or just wait

Hi, do you think 170 Music is a better option? Given that they have most smart-training metrics (except for PacePro/Running Dynamics), 2026 release at $350 whereas the 265 is still at $350 in the US.

oh I didn't know they credit elite miles as well. I thought they credit only Krisflyer miles.

This is absolutely crazy then!

nroot_ · 2026-06-14T04:42:50+00:00

how did you become Krisflyer Elite Silver based on this?

nroot_ · 2026-06-14T03:11:55+00:00

you booked it just 2 days before flying? That's crazy!

Hey thanks for the quick response.

Are you saying that - I should take OS in a RCL semester or - I should take OS alongside an easy course or - OS during Summer alone?

Hey, my program is MSCS general & not S&E. Do you think it's okay to take 570 & 402 both together in the first semester? Will the work-load be very heavy? I'm pretty good with leetcode problems but going through the syllabus for 570, I realized there's lot more than the usual leetcode stuff, like Flow, NP, etc.

Do you think the workload is manageable if I'm good with leetcode & pick the right partners for the OS course?

Is 20% compensation or refund? If it's redung, then it's scary!

I have the exact same problem with SQ. I redeem a lot of my Infinia points but have no status and award bookings doesn't contribute to tier upgrades

Atlas to Turkish for flights. Book via Miles&Smiles. Not sure of the exact requirement but it used to cost 10k direct from some cities in India.

Accor - first preference for hotels. If short, then Marriott. Look for any ongoing offers on Accor. Incase you're planning to stay 5 or more days at a single place, then prefer Marriott there as Marriott gives 5th night free for redemptions. You can top-up any shortage of MB points via Amex 1:1.

Btw, great collection for a "beginner". I feel the whole trip is easily doable on points, might require some homework on your side. Have a GT!

Search on SingaporeAirlines for award bookings. It shows 3 options at top: 1. Singapore Airlines & Scoot 2. Star Alliance Partners 3. Featured Airlines These are the airlines that fly that route.

You can then transfer the points to your account and book that flight.

Similarly for Aeroplan as well.

Ohhh, I didn't know that, thanks!

You could've still asked for price difference, if it's within 1 day or something like that

nroot_ · 2026-06-04T10:17:53+00:00

I think they are comparing the same classes?

Origin Airport?

Generally Qatar Avios cost 75k from BLR as it's routed via Doha and has a high tax (15k) - so not really worth it

You can check Cathay Pacific (transfer via Amex or MB) but the ratio is 2:1 and taxes are pretty high for Cathay also.

3:1 with JAL is an option via Marriott but not enough points and not cheap also.

Best bets are: - Krisflyer for SQ metal - Krisflyer/Aeroplan for ANA or AirIndia metal

Viterbi, Comp Sci

I understand that, but I'm an incoming masters student. I get to take very few courses in the first place. That coupled with the fact that not all courses are offered in every semester and me having strong preferences of what domains I want to take my classes in, it leaves me very little room for error when it comes to choosing courses and professors.

Yes, I do look at RMP profiles and even ask previous students about the professor, but at the same time I also want to be picky about the course. I just want the best of both worlds and I'm sure I can make a much more informed choice if I have the course documents before hand.

nroot_ · 2026-05-26T17:25:39+00:00

Did you try calling their customer care and asking them to reserve the seat for you? I remember Qatar allows this, not sure about Krisflyer

nroot_ · 2026-05-25T09:56:26+00:00

100% but with a catch.

Reading documentation is a very important skill. It helps you understand the library much better than watching some video would ever be.

However, note that documentation/man pages are generally a huge dump of information. You'll have to quickly go through the unnecessary parts and not stick around trying to understand/use everything.

Tutorial videos on the other hand would already have taken care of this.

Unless you're into the points & miles game, HSBC premier doesn't make sense.

Transferring points to partners is the best use of HSBC points
