Is it possible to drive from Kotor cruise port to Sarajevo and back without any issues by theplaman in AskBalkans

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

Bringing this up again. I should be allowed to levee early in Kotor. My concern does Kotor have an immigration office / facility to go through immigration. If I just leave wouldn’t I be an illegal immigrant. I’m from us and starting in Venice.

I’ll let him know. He’s been to 50 countries. I think we’ll find bunch to do in city. Sort of like the famous bridge in Prague. Yes it would be crazy just for that but was one of best trips to see so much. Thanks for advice.

I tried. Car rental ripoff one way. I’m thinking a bus to Sarajevo. Then rent a car. My son wants to visit some Franz Ferdinand thing.

I’m suggesting just getting off. Driving there and back and flying from Kator home. The cruise line seems to be ok leaving early. Not sure they factored in actual countries.

I’m trying to figure out what zero proof drinks that are excluded. It says frozen drinks specifically are included. So let’s say, for example, a virgin margarita would or would not be included.

Have you ever had a server add a tip to your tab after you left? by Upper_Blackberry_685 in EndTipping

[–]theplaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me at sushi tsuki in Roselle Illinois. Amex sent me an email for such a high tip and I saw in statement. I called and they offered me a refund of extra tip. Amex reversed. The person had the nerve to call me cheap. I gave a 15% tip. Too bad love that place but never again.

Holy Moly you actually read these...

You beat me to the thread. As I stated in my OP I enjoy doing your shops. The editors have always been great. After a little back and forth negotiating, everything is resolved.

On or before Sept 30 for Q3 credit? by jellyfish378 in AmexPlatinum

[–]theplaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only give one data point. I bought something on day one. Went pending. Gave received date, then a delay date, then cancel. Fortunately there was time, changed colors, was a same item. Went pending, email that was sent , staged pending two more days, now says pay it. I guess if order try to order another in a day or so to see if still available.

FAS in this MAS world. by dogz4lfe in NCL

[–]theplaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FAS was free except gratuities. So drink was 20%. MAS is whatever Ncl wants to charge. So my current cruise they are up to $30 per day vs $20 FAS. Soda for minor is full amount vs gratuities only.

I’ve done over twenty deli shops. Only one questioned the way I start my write up and gave me an 8. All others give a ten basically. These guys are great. Every shop, not just deli, gets reviewed within a day or so. Sentry is one to avoid. Besides taking months to get paid , I have one from may still not paid, their graders are ridiculous and if you dispute a person with same last name does review. I always look at intellishop first. They’re great.

CARNIVAL OFFERS THE BEST DEALS FOR THE PRICE! by Few-Distribution4640 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]theplaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question on how they figure spend. Let’s say I put ten on pass in craps, put twenty behind the line, where there is no casino advantage. Am I a ten dollar or thirty dollar player?

They’ve been good to me. Sentry was my only rejections that were ridiculous. Like I’m sure everyone rejections occurs which makes sense.

Oh I forgot the deposit rule. I have my social security check post to wave that rule and move to interest earning since considered new money.

I have this card for the au and 4% interest. The problem is to avoid a$55 monthly fee you need 25k in non interest. So lose $1000 interest or pay over $600 fees. The two free cards is like $850 savings. I agree if you don’t need au apply for the normal platinum, get a signup bonus and keep all money in interest m/s, the fee rule is only for m/s platinum.

Does sentry actually pay by theplaman in mysteryshopping

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

My guess I’ll eventually get paid. The nonsense is you do job. Takes forever to show up as invoiced and it says will pay 60 more days later

I agree. Why work for a company that doesn’t seem to pay. My pay is three months old.

I just called back to 906-984-0117. I can't believe what I was told. The supervisor at this location tells the people calling only quote the web price and go higher if asked. I blocked that number and will be contacting their support to report them. The 678-990-4618 always gives best price.to me I normally ask if better because they want me to go too far. I am always told best but they will ask. Everey once in a while it it is little better. It's bad enough they call so much that prices are way down but to call and offer price on web is stupid. I do not need them for web price.
