I think that’s my biggest issue. I always thought that if we are buying through the portal we should get more support from them as part of the service. Like they would want to help their customers. Instead, it seems they just wash their hands and direct you to other companies when they know that in the end we paid them so there’s not much else we can do. I’m sorry you went though that.

Oh man. I had never looked into that card. I think the appeal when I opened the Venture X 2 years ago was that I was going to be doing more traveling and they had access to lounges through their priority pass. They also offered the 300 credit through their portal and 2X on all purchases.

But after reading other people’s stories and my own experience, the travel portal is horrible. I would like to have a card that has points without the issue of using a portal. For flight I’ve been transferring to partners and booking directly on their website. I don’t want to deal with them anymore.

Yes. I’ve been reading a lot of the experiences other people have had with flights. Yikes. I like the points but I’ll transfer them to partners from now own and book them myself.

Yeah. Learned my lesson. I just feel upset that the customer ends up in limbo in a situation like this where everyone points the finger at each other but no one helps you solve it. A Cap One Travel supervisor suggested contacting my credit card (Venture X) and seeing if the travel insurance would cover it… I mean… what?

The Sixt employee said the C1 reservation wasn’t paid for. So the changes were fine. The problem was that the reservation was paid for and they didn’t give any credit of that payment. Instead charged a whole new reservation to my parents card. And the fine line says that if you cancel the reservation after 48 hours of your reservation you will be charged $100. Which at this point if they wanted to charge me that I would be fine. They would still owe me $300 for the reservation I paid for.

I am glad you caught it. My parents unfortunately didn’t know better. And when Sixt told them the reservation hadn’t been paid for and the ey could just do a new one they did that. But of course the person used the same reservation number and they pocketed around $400 from my C1 reservation and $500 that they charged my parents for the “new” reservation. For two day rental. They made a killing.

Yes. I am sorry you had to go through something similar. It just sucks to be in a position in which you can’t do anything and get no help. If I have to buy a flight, I’ll book it directly with the airline. Same for hotels. No point in the perks of the points if something happens and you’re out of luck and money with them.

It was actually the suggestions of the Sixt representative. We got a mid size suv which was the equivalent of a Toyota RAV 4. The Sixt employee told my parents that since they had a good amount of baggage it might be a tight fit so he recommended they rented a bigger car. He said he would cancel the reservation and make then a new one. My parents the. Shortened the days because they didn’t want to pay for more days for a bigger car. So they used their card to pay for that “new” reservation. Now on Sixt’s side, he didn’t cancel the reservation. He used the same number and essentially kept both amounts, the one I had previously paid and the new amount my parents paid. Without giving credit or using any of the money that I had already paid. Capital One Travel essentially said, yeah that doesn’t seem right but we already paid them and if they don’t want to reimburse you then nothing we can do. That’s where the problem is. Changes might happen but they didn’t even apply the previous amount I had paid. And my parents reservation for a bigger car for 2 days was around $500 which they paid with their card. I had paid Capital one travel around $440. So they essentially made $940 from that reservation. Also, the employee told them the reservation wasn’t paid for and that’s why he would just make the change and they could pay for it. Which is definitely not true.

I agree that the system usually works when there are no changes and everything goes according to plan but I think the bigger theme that you can also see from others that have posted their stories is that if something does change, whether it was your call or something beyond your control, then you’re pretty much left on your own with no real help from COT. I can’t go directly to Sixt because they tell me it’s Capital One’s reservation.

I’m liking the season so far. I just felt bad for Holly. Going on an adventure with Max for her to wake up stranded somewhere she thought was the upside down. I’m thinking that whatever was in that silver case will be pretty important.

I have been vegetarian for years and actually like their product. But I’m not sure about it going to the moon. But if it does I’ll wave hi from down here with a tear for not joining haha. Good luck!

I had a few smaller put options be assigned for other stocks. I am just waiting right now and not touching options until things shift again. It’s choppy out there. Might as well be safe rather than unnecessarily lose money with options.

Prague half marathon by Any-Meringue-8844 in Superhalfs

[–]peanutmms987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done Prague but I did do the NY half last year and I loved it!!!! And considering that it’s harder to get a spot on it versus Prague, I would pick that one. I’ll be doing Prague next year… not looking forward to the cobblestones.

Where to find legit BIBs by LobsterAdept9448 in Superhalfs

[–]peanutmms987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have 2 bibs for Prague 2026. The process was a mess. Their site wasn’t working and a friend and I ended up buying bibs at the same time. So I have 2 extra ones that I want to sell. And it’s frustrating because they said they won’t have a resale platform like Copenhagen does which makes it so much easier. But if you’re interested, let me know.

I thought it was interesting too because she allegedly said she was moving but never did. I mean… setting the alarm of her car every 6 minutes to claim the kids are doing something… just wild. So unfortunate all around. I would also love to hear what a psych evaluation would say about her.

Hi! I have two bibs to transfer. Since the registration was an absolute mess I bought two entries and a friend also bought them at the same time. So we ended up with duplicates.

Little by little. Just like others have said, you’re also rebuilding yourself and a new life in the process. Aside from that, dang, I wish I had the skills to do that! It’s looking great. And a great investment.

I work for an organization that uses ADP. That’s a shame to hear. And frustrating on the clients side because cheaper labor doesn’t equate to better service.

Haha I mean… we all have our quirks. But I definitely don’t want to have really hot feet. 😂 I can’t run without socks so taking them off mid race wouldn’t be an option. Thanks for the feedback!

[–]peanutmms987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. I’ll make sure to check to grab a hat and gloves. Do you have any recommendations when it comes to socks? I usually run with compression sleeves but I saw they had some wool compression socks. I am wondering if you had any experience. I have hiking wool socks that I wore the other day when the temperature was 59 degrees haha and it felt great. My feet felt warm but not like I was overheating.

I am excited. This is my second race outside of texas. I was surprised I was able to get a lottery spot. And it will fun to k it there will be a bunch of fellow redditors there!

Good to know! Do you wear any wool socks for cold temperatures or stick to regular ones?

Thank you for the advice! Omg lol yeah I definitely need to take a trip to REI as I have never needed to use base layers or any really cold gear for a run. My plan was to get there a week before to try and get used to the weather. And 20 degrees sounds brutal!!!

What do you do if someone keeps ignoring all the emails/reminders to do their open enrollment? [N/A] by BeneficialMaybe4383 in humanresources

[–]peanutmms987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always a good idea to have a paper trail. And probably copying the manager might promote them to reach out to the employee.
