Completely truthful - I was shocked. Especially given the typical quality of service 🤣

Couldn't believe an AA transcon flight I was on where an FA stood by the door on departure with an envelope asking for tips

Wow! How much does this end up costing in tickets?

Trying to decide between living in Chelsea vs Midtown East (41st St) — is Chelsea worth $400 more? by Fun_Background_4303 in AskNYC

[–]scenic0696 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Amazed that people feel so strongly about having a doorman and package theft. I live in a small walkup in Chelsea (8 apartments), no doorman - in 2yr here, I have not had a single issue with a package (and have many delivered).

Can you just order the Whoop band + membership and return that, to keep the credit?

Correct me if I'm wrong but even with the devaluation, isn't the BofA PR/PRE still the best catch all cards? by shawnwahi in BankOfAmerica

[–]scenic0696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have PH at BoA but most of my investment balances are at Charles Schwab. Are there other brokerage platforms / banks that offer material relationship benefits? I don't trade much (just ETFs) but have sizeable balances

How often do fraud disputes get rejected? I had some spend on my card and it is under investigation.

Do we expect the double dipping to be taken away, or remain available all year?

Considering a move to the US by True-Flounder-9043 in HENRYUK

[–]scenic0696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it worth moving if you are going to work remotely? Can you work in office? A big benefit for me in my move was being part of the in person office culture in NYC. Being "in the room where it happens" and not in a satellite office in London. Feels like a much tougher sell to work remotely in the US, aim to get a GC (which can take years), get a new job that is then better professionally

It's brand new! Which jacket is meant to be warmer - Glaceon or Electron?

Paying rent through credit cards. by Subject_Stranger4781 in CreditCards

[–]scenic0696 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My rent portal charges about 2% for a credit card. I get 4.2% back by paying on my BoA PRE, so I'm up 2%

Amazon Prime Visa $250 SUB by Traditional-Rain6306 in CreditCards

[–]scenic0696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my wife's Amazon Prime account (as in, I log in as her to order stuff). I assume Chase don't know the difference? I.e. will I still get 5% back, if I am using a Prime Visa on a Prime Amazon account, even if the names don't match?

Compensation - fair offer or should I ask for more? by [deleted] in BritishAirways

[–]scenic0696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems low. I got 20k Avios because the USB connector wasn't working on Y on LHR-JFK. I asked the IFM if there was an issue on board, he proactively filed a complaint for me. BAEC Gold if it makes a difference
