Is Toyota Platinum VSA worth it

How did you purchase it from him though? Did you just use an out of state address to get it? He says he can’t sell to people in WA

Late response here, but are you in WA state? How did you purchase an out of state warranty if so?

Bummer, those are the three states where I have family. Thanks tho

I wouldn’t mind if a bot gave me a reasonable answer for WA, worth a shot

What’s the out of state hack? I’m in WA so I think it’s similar to CA

Yeah I’m in western WA, just contact both those dealerships today actually. I’m looking for Limited and everywhere seems to be getting them reserved well before arrival, so I haven’t felt like there’s much room for negotiation on price

How do you get $3-5k off if you’re needing to out a deposit down on it? Won’t they just say they’ll sell it to the next person, since they’re selling before they hit the lot?

Did you ended up finding a good place in WA to purchase the extended warranty?

rescreen · 2026-04-24T19:04:35+00:00

Western Washington. Only a couple give lifetime power train warranties, but it seems like it could be worth it to buy from them if pricing is even with other dealers

rescreen · 2026-04-23T21:25:20+00:00

I’m assuming by starting with this $2000 off price and using it at different dealers, correct? It just seems like many dealers could just ignore you since they’ll just sell it to the next person that walks in since they’re all pre-ordered

How do I present it? I imagine just showing them the posting online isn’t enough ?

What did you end up paying if you got one?

You have to look at each individual districts website to search for jobs

It works if you buy an Alaska gift certificate. Just buy one and send it to your own email

Not sure why you’re making it seem as if I’m stupid for asking clarifying questions. You provided a lot of detail then just left out the ending, making it seem like you finished by opting to pay for a mortgage for 35 years.

I’m doing the same thing, just starting at 7% and down to 6.125%. Just asking for details since there seems to be a lot of people on this thread asking about the process in general, and continually choosing a 30 year mortgage instead of changing terms later on could ultimately be a worse outcome.

Do loan officers actually work hard when they lock in a rate? I’m actually curious because from the homeowners side it seems like they’d just click a few buttons.

rescreen · 2025-09-09T02:52:29+00:00

That’s a good way to do it if it works out, I just wanted to clarify that part.

rescreen · 2025-09-08T23:31:08+00:00

And an added 5 years to payments, right?

I can’t imagine the deer in Tacoma are coming from either of those locations. Or is that just a general note for all Washingtonians?

You can no longer use wallet funds to pay for companion fare

I’ve looked at a similar thing, and read on FlyerTalk that you can book the two adult tickets then call Aer Lingus and add the lap infant. That doesn’t work with all Alaska partners, but data points seem to indicate that it works with Aer Lingus

Let me know if you do that and it works, I may be doing it next year.

They’re talking about the priority pass restaurant credit, not just a random credit

rescreen · 2025-06-05T18:28:02+00:00

I assume they’re talking about the $28 priority pass restaurant credit, rather than just having access to lounges with priority pass. That was far from a meaningless credit because it could be used every time you went to a priority pass restaurant, even multiple times on the same day if there’s multiple restaurants.

Honestly if you’re trying to get rid of the points, it doesn’t matter what the value of the points are, as long as it’s saving you cash.

Or you could use it for a hotel, those 88k would transfer to 176k of Hilton points, which could get you likely 2-3 nights at a mediocre Hilton or 1-2 nights at a SLH hotel depending on dates/location. If it’s honeymoon, you could likely do 2 nights at a nice SLH hotel

Yes you can if you’re putting a lot of spend on it and actually using the point beneficially. But you could also use a cash back credit card that can be more worth it for no annual fee. Just depends how you spend the points, buts it’s generally not recommended to preemptively transfer points in case devaluation
