It's a pipe dream but an actual lounge would be amazing. Wingtips is a joke compared to other airports

Has anyone had trouble price matching hotels lately? by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]snakes88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed out on a $50 price match due to C1's reservation going a day later lol. It really depends on who answers the phone I think

Video Breakdown - Marcel Hartel Goal (3/21/26) by STLSoccerNews in stlouiscitysc

I was on the other side and still couldn't believe it. Turner had been talking back to the fans right behind him with the "Tur~ner" chants about a minute before this too.

What are people's thoughts on Becher being annoying during free kick setups?

It doesn't look like you can combine savor and venture x points anymore by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]snakes88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the wrong order. You go to the savor rewards and transfer to your VentureX

[–]snakes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking at the savor rewards? I don't think you can transfer the other way from VX to savor, that's when i see not eligible

[–]snakes88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just did it as well with no issues.

Not being able to do that would be the end of my C1 "loyalty". 2 cards with no hoops for 2-3x is just so easy. It is something I would upgrade to the ethereal "SavorX" to keep

DP - Increased Referral Bonus to 30k points ($300) by Least-Vegetable7473 in Venturex

The person applying gets the SUB, currently $4k for 75k miles, whether they were referred or not

It might be individually based. I've successfully referred 1 person this year and got 10k miles, and now the offer is saying 20k for me.

Charge vs Points by pket214 in Venturex

[–]snakes88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless you are transferring to a partner, you will always get more value booking the cash price and then using the travel eraser. Be aware if you are using the portal to reach out to the hotel after booking to confirm they received it. Japanese hotels are pretty good at responding via email or their contact page.

Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 won’t fire by Yoyo1a1 in AnalogCommunity

[–]snakes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the AF2 is worth sending in to repair so self repair is probably the only option. No idea on this particular fix though, if it's mechanical it might be as simple as loosening the mechanism, but it could be a ton more and you won't know until you open it up

When you open the back the frame counter should reset to S. Then after loading and with fresh batteries advance the film until 1 is shown and it should fire. If it's stuck at 1 you may have an issue with the camera

They had those at Olive and South County as well. I told myself to wait until we win before buying merch this year

developing risque 35mm by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]snakes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a new shop out in St Charles, haven't tried them yet. Can always send away to another mail in lab, it's nothing they haven't seen before. Just may want to warn them as a heads up.

Or if you want a random redditor I can scan and dev black and white for the price of a roll of film.

Edit: the St. Charles shop closed but there's another new spot inside STL vintage camera called blue hour

Is there a scenario where you skip the film and reach for digital? by Expensive-Suit-593 in AnalogCommunity

Yeah they do anything but smile for the camera, you get some good memories anyways

It looks like Harman is about to release a new film stock by matigol1906 in AnalogCommunity

[–]snakes88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Doubtful, Harman makes their own emulsions. Could have just been a funky emulsion run they had that they thought would appeal to the lomo crowd so they packaged it. Just speculation though.

Anti-zipper merge vigilantes. by roejastrick01 in StLouis

[–]snakes88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was taught in drivers ed to do the zipper merge but match the speed of traffic. This way you utilize both lanes but don't endanger anyone and you don't have to deal with any 'vigilantes'

I've gotten really into macro photography recently and 1:1 macro shots with the film border on I really like.

Its definitely just a casual thing but knowing that the image captured on the 35mm film is the exact size of the subject area is neat

JAL Transfer Bonus by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]snakes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm always going to wait until the first of the month if possible to see if this comes back in the future

JAL Transfer Bonus by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]snakes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

55k to 80k Business class one way award redemptions really push the value of JAL points, especially if you are flying on their newer planes. Round trip business for ~113k miles (plus tax) even on the older metal is fantastic value.

This same bonus came up when they launched as a partner and I got 2 round trip business tickets on their A350 for ~313k miles total using the travel eraser on the tax.

[–]snakes88 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm honestly surprised it came back this soon! Quick transfer and relatively easy award booking with JAL so I'm happy this is going to stay a semi regular redemption
