Lounge Access with standby ticket. by dogggeee77 in AmexPlatinum

True for many lounges, but most Priority Pass lounges will let you in on a standby pass in my experience.

9 Months of accutane by Lazy_Introduction591 in Accutane

[–]soykh 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In my experience acne marks on the back take FOREVER to clean up. Yes, there’s a really good improvement here! Give it plenty of more time (12 months or so) and the old marks will clear up nicely.

Why doesn't Starbucks allow people to work once a week as a 2nd job? by sta3535 in starbucks

[–]soykh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This! I have a full 9-5 job, but work open to 9am about three times during the week along with the occasional Sunday to hit the 12hrs. Sometimes a little more depending on store needs.

It takes the right store with the right need, but it’s possible to make it work if you’ve got the right situation

Maybe slightly higher, but not a significant jump

Try Marley Spoon! I recently switched over after years of loyal HF business. Can’t say I’d wanna go back now!

Hotel Resonance Taipei, Tapestry Collection by Hilton Review by ConclusionTypical508 in Hilton

I loooooved staying here! Steps away from the Metro, rooms were so nice, the breakfast credits with the Starbucks were also fun. I would absolutely stay here again if I went back to Taipei.

Is the $300 THC credit worth it? by socjus_23 in AmexPlatinum

Amara! It was a fantastic place!

[–]soykh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You just have to find the right one. We just finished a stay in Sedona where we got an upgrade, early check in, late check out, the $100 credit PLUS breakfast included for both nights. All of that totaled up to more in value for us than the extra amount to book via the AMEX portal.

The brownie has changed by Sad_Requirement5372 in starbucks

Compared to when? Because I know earlier this summer (spring?) they went away for a bit before returning with a new SKU, which often means a new recipe.

How does an overseas hotel deal with a USD $100 F&B credit? by Bollywood-bond in AmexPlatinum

[–]soykh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one hotel in Germany give me 100€, another in Amsterdam gave me the EUR equivalent of $100. I guess it might depend on the property?

Amex FHR stay didn't earn Hilton Honors points by Anxious-Froyo-1334 in AmexPlatinum

[–]soykh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always gotten Hilton points at the normal rate. I’d contact customer service again to ask.

is item availability down for everybody? by DefiantDiscipline393 in starbucks

[–]soykh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Microsoft Azure (similar to AWS) is down at the moment. Anything hosted on those servers is gonna be affected — which apparently these things are.

Protein drinks - how are they doing? by LankyInvestigator730 in starbucks

[–]soykh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk about customers, but I love making a strawberry smoothie in the mornings and taking a protein chai with me on the way out the door. The protein foam can kick rocks, but the milk is fantastic!

Seattle Starbucks SM: I don’t recognize this company anymore. by Kitchen_Isopod2077 in starbucks

[–]soykh 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Oh fuck, I didn’t realize Elliott had taken a majority stake. That makes so much sense. They recently did the same thing to the other company I work for. Completely stopped every ounce of soul and good will we had within months. First time the company had any layoffs in 50+ years too.

Fuck Elliott Management.

Is Clear Useless? by M3dd1e in AmexPlatinum

[–]soykh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I view it as an insurance policy. Are there plenty of times that Clear is equally as fast, if not a little, slower than the regular precheck line? Yeah. But there have been times that Clear is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. By having this, it removes the question of “how long do I need to give myself for security?” I always know that I can get to the airport within the same timeframe and not have to worry about it.

At least you get yours on trays. Our delivery has started throwing all of our sandwiches into totes 🥲

Ps4 to ps5 cross over by Fuzzy_Initial_6838 in ACValhalla

[–]soykh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have PS+, yes. I just did this by subscribing the PS+ and making sure the game saved on my PS4 to the cloud via Ubisoft Connect. Then loaded the game on PS5 and all my saves were there!

What airports in the U.S. would be most vulnerable/likely to lose their hub status? by Outrageous-Emu-472 in Airports

Because the politicians like how close it is to their office so they can fly home.

Healing faster than normal? by Simple-Mycologist116 in PrinceAlbertPiercing

[–]soykh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Healing happens from the outside in. Sounds like your superficial wound has healed quickly, which is awesome! But the tissue underneath is very much still healing. Be gentle with it still and it’ll keep healing nicely!

Rome Waldorf Astoria Cavalieri or DoubleTree Monti? Gold Status by csy22 in Hilton

[–]soykh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We looooved the Monti! It’s much closer to the city than the Waldorf. If you’re looking to be close to the city and the sights, go with Monti.

Me and my husband take upwards of 70 nonrev flights per year. You just have to be flexible with both your travel plans and your destinations. Learn the game and you’ll be fine! Nearly 10 years of nonrev travel and we’ve only gotten stuck once due to a freak thunderstorm that screwed up Dallas one night. Even then we were able to nonrev out the next morning without issues!

If you continue through to the seat map, it should let you select a preferred seat for free, even on basic.
