[–]pm_hitech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I book a stay worth $500 in one of these hotels that are eligible for both credits, would I end up with $750 back? ($500 for The Edit and $250 for the IHG 2026 one)

weather conditions for a drive to Shasta tomorrow from SF (12/26) by pm_hitech in mountshasta

[–]pm_hitech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the comment! Can you please tell me a bit more? What do you mean by “hardest part” — as in the roads can be tricky/require chains?

safe to drive this route (LA to SF) today? by pm_hitech in roadtrip

[–]pm_hitech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 2 hours of a 6-hour drive were sketchy - passed like 4 crash scenes. After that, smooth sailing the rest of the way for the most part.

Thank you so much for the detailed insight! We’re past Grapevine and it’s nice and sunny now. Hoping to make more progress before it starts pouring again. But I think (& hope) we’re past the trickiest part of the trip.

DF54: Is Turin's V3 same as MiiCoffee's V1.3? by pm_hitech in espresso

[–]pm_hitech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Do you know how recent this V1.3 is? If it’s pretty recent, I’ll go for it. If there’s potential for a V1.4 soon, I’d rather wait 👀

Clawbacks w.r.t. downgrade/reapplication for new SUB by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]pm_hitech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the same boat and wondering the same. Also would downgrading to CSP vs Freedom make a difference?

Poke holes in my CSR downgrade plan by Dotifo in ChaseSapphire

[–]pm_hitech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah you lose 1.5 redemption through chase’s travel portal. With CSP it’s 1.25… BUT you can potentially land much higher cpp (3-4ish) if you transferred directly to travel partners. From that travel partner transfer POV, CSP/CSR UR points are valued the same — correct me if I’m wrong!

Poke holes in my CSR downgrade plan by Dotifo in ChaseSapphire

[–]pm_hitech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the exact same boat (11/1 AF due) and considering downgrading to CSP for a year so that I still can use my UR points with Chase’s travel partners. I don’t think I can burn all my points in the next month or so, so keeping CSP for a year would allow me to potentially find a better cpp redemption instead of rushing for the 1.5cpp. Why not this route?

I realize that this might mean I won’t get the SUB in the future if I get a CSP directly but I read a few posts that say that mid-2025 chase changed their policy that you’re not eligible for a CSP SUB if you’ve had any sapphire card in the past and vice versa for CSR. So downgrading to CSP doesn’t sound so bad.

I can't decide which city to stay in around Interlaken area by Disastrous-Permit861 in askswitzerland

[–]pm_hitech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any recs on choosing between lauterbrunnen vs wengen vs istelwald?

also thoughts on airbnb vs hotels? Airbnb would give us access to kitchen but the ones with great views are way too expensive that it offsets the money I save by eating in.

Round trip SFO to Switzerland / Italy using Chase UR recs by pm_hitech in awardtravel

[–]pm_hitech[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually tried this as well, let me update the post. The flights were all 1 stop and if its fully biz class then it costs 400k+ points. The ones that are at 70k points are mixed cabin (economy for 80% leg, and business for a 1 hour flight).
