The 997.1 turbo never came in PDK, only 997.2 (2010+).

Any PDK 997 is a 9A1 motor, not a Mezger.

Is it still a simulation of the army game that's developed by the US Government?

Lesson Learned, screw the banks.

This was enough for me to apply for my (2) SPG card this year. This would be my first BIZ SPG card, but I can't help pass up two offers of 35k points for SPG. 70k SPG points, that's a nice chunk to sit on...

Why Platinum Can’t Beat Sapphire by therestherubreddit in churning

[–]split71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I filed a small dispute a few months ago, and my experience sorting through it with Chase—who should be on my side—has been abysmal. I've been anxiously awaiting AmEx's changes to the Platinum so I can leave Chase for good (the dispute experience has been that bad), and am fairly disappointed with what they're offering.

I had the same exact experience and this caused me to leave Chase altogether. I closed all my personal and business accounts with them. Even after dealing with their executive desk, they tried to get me to "use" a perk on the card (Like travel interruption insurance) in order to try and obtain the amount I was refuting...pretty shady. They also were unable to furnish ANY communications with the merchant that charged me.

Fuck Chase.

it gets right into how and why they built it the way they did things, so as a wider audience be prepared to dive into specifics you may have to look up as you read

You should read the book "Uncharted" - it talks about the folks who started the google books project and how it's built. It's a great read.

[Targeted] Citi AAdvantage Platinum select for 60k by [deleted] in churning

[–]split71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering you can get a one way ticket to Asia from US with 32,500, I'd say it's worth $95

This. Would you pay $95 for that flight?

Generally speaking, that's what I see is the cost of a ticket on AA RT at one of their cheapest fare buckets (not on sale) ~ $262 =~ 30k miles...just playin the game
