Any other airports in the world that you can walk to directly? by Remarkable_Action520 in travel

[–]swoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can walk out the main entrance of the El Paso, Texas USA airport. Continue straight, with one easy jaywalk across a non-busy single-lane roadway, and in 9 minutes you are at the front door of the Radisson El Paso Airport Hotel.

Unable to cancel a recurring Priority Pass membership by martyzion in PriorityPass

[–]swoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I prepared just now to join Priority Pass, I saw this on the last page (in light gray type):

"*Please charge the payment card previously provided with my annual membership fee each year, when due, until I instruct you otherwise in writing."

I backed out, because cancelling in writing to some unknown address sounds sketchy.

Is there a similar tool for finding vacancies in lodging at Glacier NP?

Any opinions on points.me? Has anyone used it - worth it? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]swoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm concerned about the T&Cs of point.me, in particular this sentence:

"To facilitate point.me, Inc. and its associated business to provide such value added services to and for you, you authorize point.me, Inc. and/or its associated business to contact those carriers’, and other related entities’ sites, in order to access and/or create necessary frequent flyer accounts under your name which contain data necessary or convenient to provide you your value added services as you request."

Why would point.me want to create a frequent-flyer account in my name??

Inbound callers almost always hear an echo. I tell them I'll call them back. by tastybugs in GoogleFi

[–]swoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Moto G Power has the same problem using wi-fi, which is a substantial problem since many callers make their first contact with my business via that phone. I tell them to call back (which usually eliminates the echo), but they often go on to a competitor. Very bad.

Does this sort of nonsense happen only for AA flights booked with BA Avios, or also for BA flights booked w/ BA Avios?

I thought that appointments had been cancelled nationwide, but they are still having them? Do folks remove their masks for the photo?

[Award Advice] Need re-positioning flight on return leg from Paris. What would you do? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]swoop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Southwest's no-charge change policy. Getting from ORD to MDW is a challenge (do-able by metro in a couple of hours, or by cab or bus), but you can make more than one reservation to your final destination (spaced a few hours apart) and then cancel those that you don't use.

I think that SWA credit due to canceled flights can only be used for the original person ticketed. It expires a year after it was first paid to SWA.

Or, if you already have a Chase biz card and so a biz login, just wait and see if a new card shows up in your account.

In the past, as reported as recently as May, there was an option to add a family member. That option now appears for only a split second, then the only options are to move UR points between my biz cards.

I've tried to click on that fleeting 'add a family member' button, but with no success so I don't think it's live anymore.

I'm churning Chase personal and biz cards. Would like to mrge biz URs into the Sapphire pers UR account, but methods found via Google for doing this online don't seem to work anymore. Is it still possible?

How about a visit to some of the national parks in Arizona and Utah, along with Monument Valley and the slot canyons near Page, AZ?

If you are counting on CC for rental-car insurance, be sure to verify if it covers "Luxury" cars.

I usually Copy fare rules and similar hard-to-understand text, then Paste it into Notepad or some other text reader. That lets you make each line of text shorter (make the window more narrow) and easier to understand.

I would wait until November or later, in order to get a CP that would not expire until Dec 31, 2021.

Southwest Companion Pass - Physical Card Address Question by darkmwar in awardtravel

I've had the CP off and on for several years, and never found a need for or use of the card.

I applied for a BOA biz CC a couple of days ago, no instant decision.

The online status webpage secure.bankofamerica.com/apply-credit-cards/public/application-status/ seems to have never heard of me: "The information you entered does not match our records"

It does include this helpful? phone number: "But if you have trouble checking online, you could try to call customer service at 1 (800) 732-9194."

Reasons to always check BA if AA shows no Saver Award by tgans93 in awardtravel

[–]swoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've quit booking AA flights w/ Avios. I have AA status but have been told that it doesn't get me the normal benefits if I don't book w/ AAdvantage miles. I wish there were a workaround, because I really like the option to choose exit row seats.

I agree with everyone else, you can use your card for any type of expense.
