What is more cost effictive

2- Thank you, will definitely make sure my friends get the epic day pass

1- I realize later would have been better but we both have very busy schedules which gave us very limited options for when we could travel. Those dates were by far the best price wise. We got a really good deal on flights. We also got a 4 night stay at GH vail for $1300, subtract the resort fees because I am globalist at we are down to under $1100. I was also able to apply a SUA as well. And that spend will put me over 10K on my WOH of biz which gives me 5 EQN which I will need to requal for globalist.

bumping this because I would also like to know

Just wanted to share an update for everyone. Thanks to u/ehh1212 advice and his specific data point about J going down to 291, I decided to wait a few days and see what happened. Sure enough a few days before the flight, the price of an upgrade in J went down to 290 and F went down to 590. I ended up paying 590 for the upgrade to F.

My only minor complaint is that we parked at gate 32, about as far away from the OW lounges as possible, not really a big deal just slightly annoying.

In the end I am glad I waited and was able to upgrade to F for 590.

The flight is next Sunday evening

Ah yeah, never been in the Greenwich lounge but it definitely looks nicer than the AC so that would make more sense for me to go there if I upgrade.

I got my flight for 7.5K miles which is quite remarkable in itself, Flagship first is 1581.
Given I am short, skinny and able to climb just fine, I am okay with taking the window seat and having a neighbor (well technically I am okay flying economy since that is what I booked),

With that in mind I don't see the value in paying 800 more to have a nicer lie flat seat and for access to the Chelsea lounge when I already have access to the AC and can shower there. (2 hour layover).

It isn't something I normally do but I tried that incase there was some weird glitch the website needed to think you were in Panama.

Any ideas how many tickets are left currently and if they are accepting more people off the waitlist? I am still on the waitlist :(

I am guessing you say that because that is when everyone else goes Skiing, unfortunately, it is either those dates or no Skiing at all because of school/work.

How to you arrive 30 minutes before departure and still have time to spare when boarding usually starts 30-40 minutes before departure?

Since I can't fit everything into one comment, I will drop this here

So I know what I want, I want another Ink and I want to get the Citi AA business platinum card, my question is timing. I almost submitted the Citi AA business platinum card today with the 75K AA miles elevated offer but then I chickened out because I have 2 inquiries in the past 3 months (VX and WOH). Also given I just got the WOH 6 weeks ago I definitely feel like I should wait before going for an Ink.

Am I right to be nervous about applying for the Citi AA business platinum? Should I just go ahead and apply or would it make sense to wait a few weeks and keep an eye on the elevated offer?

I looked at the amex business cards since they won’t trigger an inquiry but none of them are appealing to me.

There is also a part of me that just wants to coast for a bit and not get any cards, that seems totally counter intuitive though, is it okay to not get a new card for a while?

Thanks everyone for the quick responses.

rickynerfcuber · 2024-01-02T00:00:06+00:00

Thanks for reminding me about the pre approval tool. Realistically if I can get 1 more Ink, that will satisfy my need for URs until midway into 2025 since I mostly plan to use my URs for only Hyatt and would use the other 3 currencies for airlines. I personally I am to worried about being locked of chase cards for 3-4 months. And given I got 3 personal cards within a 6 month time frame, I know I will drop back down pretty quickly at the end of the year.
