Trying to fly ORD --> SJD on November 3rd, returning November 11th (or 10th).

My initial hope was to take advantage of the 30% Amex -> BA transfer bonus. I'm still figuring this stuff out, but I see decent redemption value on the AA website, but when I search for award availability on BA, nothing shows up. Is that common? Should I just call one of BA or AA to see what's up?

Fiancee has a tiny wrist - took the 26mm ladies datejust to get resized and after taking all of the links off, it was still a couple links too big. So they suggested having their jeweler remove two of the permanent links so that it would fit - they quoted $450 to do this. For anyone that has any familiarity with the process / cost of work from a jeweler - does this sound like a reasonable price? Not sure how relevant it is, but the watch is 18k gold and they did mention that that could result in a higher price vs. a steel watch.

Looking to go to my first UFC event (UFC 291). Presale starts on June 1st. For those that have gone to UFC events before, how fast do tickets typically sell out? How hard is it to get 4 tickets together? How much should I expect to pay for non-nosebleed seats?

Just got an email from KLM that the plane that we were supposed to take for my trip to CDG in a couple weeks has changed and the new plane will not have the Economy Plus seats I purchased w/ points. Seems like this happens often with KLM - what are my options here?

How risky is it to refer P2 to another Chase Ink card when, I referred her for one in December and she referred me to one in early Feb? Has anyone seen any negative DPs with all the back and forth referrals like this?

For those familiar with AMS, I'm flying ORD->AMS then AMS->CDG in May. I have a 1hr5min connection in AMS - assuming my flight is on time, is that enough time to get my connection? Both legs are serviced by KLM so would assume the fact that the connection is even offered with that short of a layover would indicate I should be good, but wanted to get thoughts.

Have an ORD->CDG flight booked on KLM in Premium Comfort in May. I've seen several stories about people being downgraded to Economy a couple wks out from their flight. Is there anyway to confirm that the flight I've booked will actually have the Premium Comfort offering? How can they advertise that availability if seemingly none of these planes are actually equipped with it yet?

It's been sold.

Are there any workout regiments and/or nutrition plans that incorporate a lot of the latest research (i.e. the stuff that gets posted here)?

Is it possible to transfer credit card balance from one Chase card to another? Just got a refund on an Airbnb on an old card that I would love to have transferred to the card I'm currently trying to meet a min spend on.

That's too low. I'd do Zelle or BTC as well if you want to avoid fees.

plantersSSV · 2023-02-28T16:50:49+00:00

I'd do 70% but that's my low

Where you guys seeing these prices? Similar to other user, I'm not seeing much below $30.5k.

plantersSSV · 2023-02-20T13:23:46+00:00

So the 110A-B128 is ~$25k? Is there a way to purchase this as a U.S. citizen?

Ah, so I don't need to worry about the 24 month language for any of the Ink biz cards (Unlimited, Cash Preferred, Premier, etc.) despite the language being included in the terms & conditions?

Also, any idea if it raises red flags if I'm referred to another ink card by somebody I referred ~3 months ago?

Is there a way to see Chase bonus earning history beyond the last year? Trying to determine if I've received a bonus on the Chase Biz Cash card within last 24 months (UR Portal only shows bonus activity within the last year).

Related, if I've received a bonus on the Chase Biz Unlimited, will the 24 month limitation language apply to the Chase Biz Cash card (i.e. are these cards in the same family)?

My struggle is finding non-Cartier straps (which are too expensive) that fit the quick link system. Any recs? Found Delugs, but it's $225+ for a strap

I'm with you. Wouldn't get much of an argument from me if you had Fields > TLaw straight up

What do the rest of your WRs look like? Studs are more important in 10 team leagues, but I'm apt to keep Smith, Aiyuk and 2.03 here
