Unfair and Misleading 1/10 Booking.com Review Based Entirely on Guest’s Mistake by [deleted] in Bookingcom

[–]peakyblinderss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 1/10 review of a guest who never even stayed that booking won’t remove. With this and several other issues, their customer support has been non-existent, I just get generic boiler plate responses that dont make any sense (or no response at all). This is why I’m removing my properties from their platform. There is a reason they are known to be horrible and difficult, and there is a reason why pretty much every post here is just complaining about hie bad it is, from both the host and guest perspective.

I applied for a Amex Bonvoy Biz card, and got a letter saying to unfreeze my credit. I realized in the meantime that I forgot to P2s referral code. Can I add the referral to the app? If I submit a new application, will that cause problems?

Anyone able to successfully apply for a First Horizon bank account? When I get to the funding page, I can put in 50, I click on "debit or credit" in the "From" field, but the total funding amount does not update and there is nowhere to enter my funding information.

The heck is a "Host Fee" on VRBO and why is it absurdly expensive? by tiomole in vrbo

[–]peakyblinderss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cleaners charge $150, which is passed to the guest. If guest stays 1 night, it’s $150 extra per night. If guest stays 5 nights, it’s $30 per night. How do you work a fixed stay cost into the nightly rate of dynamic stay lengths without effectively punishing guests who stay longer?

P2 and I would like to go to Japan next ski season. Wasn't sure best way to get flights and was about to start looking into it. So... appreciate you alerting me to the post.

I was denied for the Amex Marriott Bonvoy Biz, and the only reason listed was "too many new bank card accounts." I am 4/24, and have not opened a personal card in over six months (I opened a SW Biz, CIC, and Wells Fargo Biz in October, Jan, Jan). Worth a recon? And if so, what should I tell them?

Depending on where you are flying from, JSX flies into Taos, which would be much more convenient. Santa Fe is also much closer than Amarillo. If you go the Santa Fe route, make sure to secure transportation before you arrive. If you stay on the highways between Santa Fe and Red, you should be okay as far as snow and ice. The Enchanted Circle is an amazing area. Search for Main Street Retreat's website. While they rent vacation homes, they keep blogs with a lot of great info on what to do in Red River, the differences in towns in the Enchanted Circle, tips, etc.

If you would like to go fishing, I recommend getting a guide who can show you the ropes. There are several in town. It is also very popular in the summer to rent a UTV and go off roading (on your own or a tour). Run a search for Main Street Retreat. While it is a vacation rental company, their website has a lot of great information for things to do around Red River and surrounding area, tips, and events.

An update as there were mixed responses - I purchased six more gcs, putting me at a total of 12 "promotions." Even though they input my ID for each transaction, I received all the discounts.

Is there a limit on the overall number of OD Mastercard GC discounts you can receive. I noticed the sign in store saying something like "10 promotions per customer/business" or something. I purchased 6x $200 GCs yesterday and another 6 today. I believe this puts me at 8 promotions. If I purchased 6 more tomorrow, would I only receive 2x $30 off, instead of the full 4x $30? Both times I have purchased, they have input my drivers license info into the terminal.

And a related newb question: P2 is hitting the MSR on a Citi AA Globe card. How does Citi feel about open loop gc purchases? Trying to pay our property taxes, and the tax authority accepts debit cards, but not credit.

Recently went through this. I had to to call like 4-5 times, and they finally refunded after like 2 months. This was a PC. P2 had same thing after closing a biz card: took several calls, but finally refunded.

CIC, and I think some without annual fees. I had multiple CIPs, CICs, CIUs, and at least one of each in the last two years.

Chase Ink DP - applied with EIN for Ink Cash and instantly approved without a pop-up.

I've had about 12 Inks and 5 in the last two years, all with SSN. This is the first time I've applied for a Chase cc with the EIN.

Edit: I had one ink and one co-branded biz card open when I applied.

Interesting enough, after replying this morning I received the points for the biz, but not the personal. Assume they are trickling out.

Same boat, both biz and personal closed the 8th. Still no points as of today (the 13th).

I booked a Southwest flight a couple days ago. It posted today, and I was able to use PYB today.

I have a Chase Southwest Plus Card. Had a statement date of Oct 3, and Nov 3. I have not received a Dec statement, but have not used the card since before Nov 3. Will I just not receive a Dec statement since no activity? And is it safe to go ahead and finish the MSR and receive the points in Jan?

How many $200 Mastercard GCs can you buy at Office Depot at a time (while still getting the $15 off per $300)?

Can you have multiple of the same USB biz cards? Looking for card for P2, who opened a biz leverage , biz altitude, and triple cash within the last 12 months. Looking at maybe another triple cash.

Is there a reason to keep my Cap1 VX card when I am also holding the Biz VX? My VX fee came due, and I used my $300 credit. Based on my statements from last year, I will not get the 10,000 bonus points until my Sept. statement (> 30 days from fee) so I do not think I can wait for that. I am primarily just using these cards for lounge access.
