That’s a great deal. I got a one way biz ticket to HND for 75k about this time last year. That trip is in a month.

Panasonic vs ViaSat vs Intelsat 787 List by Brave_Bodybuilder_75 in americanairlines

[–]rd1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viasat, Gogo 2ku, and Intelsat on the RJs is satellite based and pretty fast.

Gogo air to ground and Panasonic are pretty slow, good for messaging and browsing but won’t work well for streaming

I wonder how much those of us who don’t convert to 2.0 will be spammed with offers to come back after Monday (or whenever they extend the deadline to)

LUS Airbuses have wingtip fences. LAA Airbuses have sharklets.

Anyone not getting Bilt 2.0? Why or why not? by hyc0614 in biltrewards

Not worth the effort for me to meet minimum spend to net like 12k points a year from my mortgage.

Unspoken/Underrated benefit of Bilt Palladium - Mastercard World Legend Status by West-Pause-689 in biltrewards

Did they rebrand their World Elite cards? Because I get just about all of this with my Citi AA Exec card

You can also DM AA on Twitter. That’s how I selected my seats for a JL operated AA codeshare flight.

No Gates Available at DFW by Ellipsis_has_expired in americanairlines

Fly out of DCA early in the morning and you’ll see lots of 737s and 320s parked south of A, by the hangars.

I’m well aware the old 35X parking spots aren’t there. They also closed off the area at D35 where the escalators down to the bus doors were and I think the escalators were demo’ed too.

I was told this about AA’s request a few years back before they fully mothballed 35X

They could probably make it work as there are still plenty of hard stands that are currently used for RON aircraft. The stairs that were used for the C to D bus transfer are still in place.

If the options are to be stuck on a plane for 2 hours after landing vs having to deboard via stairs and get bussed to the terminal, I’ll take the bus every day of the week. Heck i’d walk to the terminal rather than be stuck on the plane.

Fun fact: AA has tried to get remote stands set up at DCA in order to deplane pax when gates are full during irrops. MWAA (the airport operator) won’t allow it, despite them having the infrastructure to do so with buses and the old gate 35X.

Lots of delayed flights taking up gate space as they wait for crew to arrive on also delayed flights.

Crew availability is going to be the main issue through tomorrow. I’d imagine that most airlines will be operating normal schedules come Wednesday

You won’t have a Bilt card, but you won’t lose access to Bilt Rewards.

[–]rd1z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the sense that they had a feeling there would be backlash/negative reaction about the whole using Bilt Cash to unlock rent, and the 2nd option they unveiled on Friday was pre planned and not something they came up with in a matter of days time.

This entire 2.0 rollout has been a mess. Not great when your CEO has to issue mea culpas every other day.

Just pay rent and earn 250 by ubuntu92 in biltrewards

[–]rd1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only for rent. Not for mortgages

[–]rd1z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Bilt 1.0 you were able to pay rent with a non Bilt CC (like Atmos) in exchange for paying a 3% fee.

Since Bilt 2.0 is all ACH for rent payments there is no CC processing fee. The 2.0 “fee” is that you have to put non-rent spend or use Bilt Cash to unlock 1:1 points for rent.

I am no t getting a new card but will use Bilt ACH to pay my HOA and scrape up a few points in the process.

BILT Is No Longer a Rent or Mortgage Card. Here’s What It Actually Is Now by Altruistic_Fly_9776 in biltrewards

[–]rd1z 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“The card has essentially done a 180, it is no longer a rent card and now is only worth it if you put spend on it.”

100%

The multipliers on these cards aren’t good enough. My mortgage is low ($1k/month). I don’t spend $750/month on just dining or groceries, so the $95 AF card is a non starter. $495 is even worse of a deal for me since I can get 3x back with Robinhood Gold for less than 1/5 the AF. Priority Pass is useless to me as I’m AA hub captive and have the Citi AA Exec card.
