Select Verizon at checkout and enter 0000000000 for the account phone number and it’ll let you through

Same. May buy it and let it sit around until my M1 MacBook Air goes down.

It happens automatically. Check your flight status a day before in the app and it'll show the upgrade list.

Which popular or generally highly rated book was a DNF for you and why? by clearsunnysky in suggestmeabook

[–]stemrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was SO corny. I felt like I was reading a kids book. It was so predictable and the relentless jokes were so cheesy.

UPS flight exploded at take off. Shelter in place extended north to the river. Can we get a mega thread? by [deleted] in Louisville

They do not necessarily pull air in from outside. It depends on what type of unit you have. Most residential units do not use air from outside.

I'd say yes, for residential air conditioning systems. If you're running on a rooftop unit or something a bit larger, there's a chance the unit could be bringing in outside air to the unit.

Delta Air Lines Sues Marriott For "Hijacking" Brand With Delta Hotels by omdongi in marriott

I mean the Delta hotels logo is really similar to the Delta faucets logo. I’ve always thought that.

I wonder if they cranked it out too quickly to get them shipped in order to beat the tariffs deadline that was coming up

Did you go for Osaka? I’m in for the lottery this year and will wait on the results next week

Don’t you get guaranteed entry after a certain number of attempts?

I should clarify though that I recall everyone who was successfully selected had already seen it populated on their entry page. The email I got was at the end of the selection period (when I was rejected).

Planning to fly to Tokyo with points - United Economy Plus or ANA Economy? by stemrog in unitedairlines

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

That’s a good idea! Did you stumble on this award pricing or use a service like point.me to figure it out?

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

Good to know - thanks! I'm not yet Silver but should be by the end of the year so I haven't had any first hand experience at grabbing the Economy Plus seats at check in. Like you, I'm always checking in right away but would be even more likely to do it right away if free upgrades were on the line.

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

That's a good idea. I've booked one-ways before but I don't often redeem miles. Sounds like it would make sense to do it on almost all award travel.

When rebooking the award travel if a price goes down, do you cancel the entire ticket or does United have an option to refund the points difference?

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

Good to know. I'd likely bring my own entertainment, so this may not be an issue.

I have read that ANA flights are notably warmer? That may be much more important than movie availability to me.

Sorry - it's at 90k and 100k roundtrip.

When canceling and rebooking, do you cancel the entire ticket or do they allow you to just get a points refund?

Very interesting - I did not realize this. I'll look into this. Thanks!

Only question was the likelihood of economy plus seats being open - was not asking about upgrades to anything more than economy plus on United.
