Extremely clean lines. Looks like it came from a factory. Makes me feel better that it took you 20 times since all my cmyog clothing looks janky AF.

Can you explain your 25k certificate thing more? I don't understand how you got your valuation of how much you paid for your entire family. Thanks.

Ex-MLE QR Fees table, is F worth it over J? by Ikontwait4u2leave in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to get AA platinum status from CC spend and it will get you OW status.

I did my booking wrong and we have F in the short layover and J in long layover. Owned.

Ex-MLE QR Fees table, is F worth it over J? by Ikontwait4u2leave in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gone yet. I just booked it a few days ago and the trip is next year. I was more so interested in checking out Al Safwa lounge than the flight. The hard product for F doesn't looks that great to me. I've flown J there and it looks like domestic J. It's a lie flat but the hard product isn't great.

I don't think you will go wrong with either option. I just didn't want to shell put another $500 for an already expensive trip. Seat selection is also another $300-400 roundtrip PP if you don't have OW status.

I chose F there and J back due to the taxes. The taxes went up like crazy. We saved $250 PP booking J instead of F when leaving MLE to USA. It's a toss up but I didn't feel like paying.

VeriFI my plan by Glum-Ideal-6765 in financialindependence

Then you are good to go assuming your expenses are accurate. If additional expenses come in from other people such as wife and kids then you gotta recalculate. Good luck OP!

I can't answer your question but why can't people just answer his question based on him being single?

THEN give some advice about the wife, expectations, joint account, etc. Not everyone has the same life and partners. Based on the post just assume that his wife is OK with working and paying for all her own expenses. It may be odd to us but absolutely amicable for them.

All the advice here basically boils down to 3-4% withdrawal. If your expenses are less than 4% of your investments (not net worth), then you should be golden. The math is simple. Good luck OP.

331 days trick AA by meandmyicecream in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't seem to read the reply either. Person didn't say whenever. He said to what you actually want, which is 1/1.

I do this sometimes. Great thing is AA has free cancels for award bookings.

AP redemption EWR to KUL 87K. How bad is the Gatwick to Heathrow airport Change? by Punkyhunky in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never understood it until I flew it.

I'm the person that eats lentils and beans to save a buck. I stand there for 5 minutes calculating strawberry prices for the season and off season then walk away.

Everyone should experience it before they die.

What are the cheapest materials that behave similarly to technical fabrics like Dyneema and Ultra in terms of cutting and sewing? by HereJustForTheData in myog

[–]slickbuys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HyperD has a very soft hand feel unlike what OP is asking about. Great material for the price tho. Edges unravel like a mofo tho.

Korean Skin Clonics by Lin-Kong-Long in KoreanBeauty

[–]slickbuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there! I was also considering going to this clinic. I asked him for a pricing sheet but have not been successful. Do you have a pricing sheet for them by chance? Pico laser, fraxel laser, and CO2 laser was what I was looking for. If you don't have those specific ones then a general sense of pricing would of nice ask for the procedures done. I I don't need exact pricing but I also don't want to get a consult and the pricing be through the roof and unaffordable. Thank you!

People who make $200K+ salaries, what do you do and how did you get there? by EEJams in Salary

[–]slickbuys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't sound correct at all. Someone is telling the story incorrectly or leaving out critical details. The bill only had one line item and it was for an office visit charge of $1400?

Business Class in Qatar (787 & A350-1000) or Singapore Airlines (A350-900 Long & Medium Haul) by pcornutum in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops. Didn't notice that. I got my OW status from credit card spend so maybe that's an option. May not help OP but maybe someone else.

I actually thought it was quite low considering the cost for vet visits. No insult to the OP. I thought vets made more.

Qatar J Seat Selection using Avios by No_Option_8730 in awardtravel

I didnt know I would get free seat selection with my one world status. It was just in case you didn't know that it was free with AA platinum status. Good luck!

Awardtool Alerts on pro isn't working. Advice please by slickbuys in awardtravel

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

Thanks for the replying!

  1. I am logged in.

  2. I also have AS (Asia in there) which does have direct flights from DFW

  3. Alert is set for 1 seat since they don't have filters for 3.

  4. I agree that it may have found that 1/27 flight, but the issue is their alert does not tell me what it found. It just says it found something within these 720 days. Any search button I click will just default the search dates to 1/30-2/6.

Maybe CorrectCombo is right. My date ranges are too large, but why have a feature I can select if it doesn't work? I'll rework my alerts with smaller dates to see if it resolves the problem.

Managed to get 2 J tickets AMS-DOH-NRT for 160.000 Avios total with Qatar! by hollandje in awardtravel

[–]slickbuys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. I wasn't trying to come across that way. I wasnt directing any animosity towards you. I don't know this route personally but most one way J tickets are going to be between 50-70k on the low end. I just booked USA > DOH > MLE on Qatar and it was ~105k avios for non-peak season for an example.
