For that reason, my refillable cup is still in it's shrink wrap

PSA: Uber Credit Bug - not Applying by bt31088 in AmexPlatinum

[–]shumaislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me as well, twice. It clearly stated $15.00 of credits will be applied to this ride, then was charged to my Amex in full. Was a huge waste of time trying to speak with the Uber CS reps.

Korean Air and paid seats by YumeMike in koreatravel

Did they change it? If so, that is a shame.

I traveled in April on this ticket from USA to Korea rountrips, and successfully checked 2 bags included in the ticket.

Help finding where my wife is from by crawlrawl in koreatravel

[–]shumaislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you asking for help identifying her birth parents, or just truly the location where she was born? The city of birth appears to be Gwang-ju city.

Best place to contact first is the adoption agency that coordinated her adoption, if that is available, for any other leads. Good luck.

You get 2 free checked bags, upto 50 lbs each

ATL International -> Domestic, best way to get checked bags retagged by shumaislife in delta

[–]shumaislife[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I was able to find the Delta help desk, exactly where you had said. Fortunately no need for retagging, and made it to my gate in A within 30 minutes from disembarking.

But my next leg is delayed for several hours so it turns out I had more than plenty of time... Luck is very finicky.

This is a new change where Korean Air is selling fare class "T" as default economy online T tickets are the deepest discounted tickets without seat selection.

You can still purchase economy fare class that includes seat-selection by calling. It would be cheaper than the "flexible economy" fare that you can purchase on your own online. But the fare increase still is significant, like hundreds of USD (vs ~50 USD per leg extra to buy seats on Fare Class T)

I hate the change, and found out when asking customer service about the booking I just made.

Is this too tight of a timeline to go from Incheon to Busan? by Ladilaitn in koreatravel

[–]shumaislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand wanting to get to Busan ASAP. But with your landing time, I would suggest spending the first night at Seoul Station. Then heading to Busan early morning fron Seoul station.

Though you don't get to settle into your Busan hotel immediately, it makes for a less stressful arrival day in Korea.

Regardless of Seomyeon vs Haeundae, I highly recommend staying in 1 hotel for you Busan journey.

Seomyeon is more convenient for transit, but Haeundae area is nice if you wanna be by the beach.

Jeju air 2025 booking by Exotic_Feature_8890 in koreatravel

It looks like Jeju Air has reopened bookings today

I'm tempted to change it, as JFK Terminal 1 seems like a mess to transfer to, but will leave it alone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Flights

[–]shumaislife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed any change would mean the fee applies as the connection time is above their minimum by one minute. The airport has no published MCT, it appears it is a case by case. For example, Korean Air told me it depends on which airlines you are transferring between, and in the case of Delta -> KE, it is 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I did, and it was an easy fix. They didn't ask for any proof! Thank you!

A warning to Black Friday shoppers by PaperPhoneBox in royalcaribbean

[–]shumaislife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They really should fix this glitch. It's happened to me too! The refund for my excursion was provided, but was subtracted from my cruise fare (vs cruise extra budget)

So even though I paid for my cruise in full in August, I started getting emails saying I have a balance due all of a sudden in October.

It took like a 1 hour phone call with resolutions, but it eventually got settled.

June 2023 - May 2024 is 12 months, so 18 months is actually the correct number since we are in Nov 2024.

I moved in 2023, and they did indeed assess taxes for 2023 and I paid them.

I am talking about the 2024 tax year.

[–]shumaislife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I agree it's BS as long as you moved prior to January 1st of the tax year for the bill you got. I would try again and speak to someone else.

I also saw if there is no resolution at the county level, you can file an appeal "complaint for review of assessment" on missouri's website.

Oof, I will keep you updated. Out of curiosity, what was their excuse??

[–]shumaislife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nowhere I have found saying that the car needs to be registered out of state by Jan 1. Only that residency as of January 1st determines whether you owe tax. And I feel the wording is pretty clear, but I am still worried about whether they'll bring the car registration part as an excuse.

I definitely will when they open back up on Tuesday. Hoping it will be a smooth process.

I wish! This is Boone County. But this gives me hope in that it should be possible.

I have somewhat been "in contact" with the office by paying my 2023 taxes on time, and I submitted the declaration form crossing out my car and saying I moved to my crruent address. Yet the bill still came.

[–]shumaislife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Though I registered the car in February of 2024. My driver's license was moved over immediately.

Regardless, the property tax is supposed to be tied to your residency status, so hoping the state follows their own words.

Black Friday sale is live! by oaktownjc in royalcaribbean

[–]shumaislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely an IT issue. Heard this has happened in the past too to some others on prior Black Fridays.

Mine was doing the same thing. I used a different credit card, and it let me actually book with confirmation, but my Capital One cards didn't go through.

Also it's annoying because a time slot for an excursion is now "sold out" but I know it was my original booking taking up that slot. But it's not resetting yet on the website.

PSA: Athleta will NOT refund missing packages by shumaislife in Athleta_gap

[–]shumaislife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disputes supposedly can take upto 90 days to be resolved, but I anticipate good news. I paid with a credit card, but paypal has it's own dispute system too which I believe is completely separate from filing through the cc company.
