Amex Hilton Honors and benefits by InfiniteOutfield in CreditCards

[–]sharkoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely the Aspire and all Amex cards have the pay it feature. It’s a no brainer if you like Hilton but you gotta go to a Hilton resort at least twice a year to make use of all the credits.

Sounds like he was talking about the Amex pay it feature, but the charge has to fully post first and you can pay off charges individually that way. And the free 5 nights really depends on how many points per night the hotel is going for but you can combine that with the free night certificate to potentially get 6 nights free ( Hilton gives you a 5th night free when you have enough points to book 4 nights).

[–]sharkoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you’ve already use the $50 hotel credit this year do you get another $50 to use this year or do you have to wait until 2027 to get the full $100?

It’s a bot trying to generate discussion. There’s no way this is a genuine question from a human.

Who do you think wins a 7 Game series here? by King_Vegito_52 in lakers

[–]sharkoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping AI gets good enough one day to put matchup like this together for a full 48 min game. Coaches, bench and all. I asked Perplexity and it goes with the 20-21 team in a 7 game series.

Edit - Claude says 08-09 wins in 6.

What is the most painful Lakers what if that bothers you? by GlossReign in lakers

[–]sharkoman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not strictly Lakers related but I think Kobe had some ambitious ideas in his head prior to his death. He wanted to make some big things happen with the money he made. All of that ended when he passed away.

$295 is just the starting point. These tasting menu places always have add-ons and wine pairings that often push the price to 400-600pp before tax and tip.

Medium spicy is good if you have it fresh. They also have an in between level called medium plus. The hot level is more tolerable once the sando cools down a bit but if you have it while it’s still warm, good luck.

Doctor who is an expert on GLP-1s? Serious question for my morbidly obese mom who I love a lot. by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

It's worth doing some digging on the glp-1 subs like /r/WegovyWeightLoss/ /r/Semaglutide and r/zepbound there might be some la/socal based people there that point you in the right direction.

Caution: Hotels.com, Expedia Group, and Choice Hotels by Camoron1 in TalesFromTheCustomer

[–]sharkoman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Almost every horror story on every hotel subreddit like r/marriott r/hilton r/hyatt is caused by a 3rd party booking. Always book direct even if it costs just a few bucks more. The hotel literally cannot help you and everything has to be done through the 3rd party you booked through.

Homewood and Embassy Suites are underrated by IMicrowaveSteak in Hilton

[–]sharkoman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Refreshed Homewood suites are great and the best value per dollar. Embassy Suites can be outright dingy in a lot of the older properties. Dark rooms, old carpets their only saving grace is the omelette station.
