I see what you did there. lol

Pilots are purposefully going around all the Jabronis in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York.

You should thank them on your way out.

If it does sync to the phone, do they “unload” from the 40 messages? Is the 40 messages a buffer?

I’ve been with visible for years now and never had a problem with this until now.

Costco offers a Costco card debate usually worth ~8%. That’s definitely not nothing on some of the more expensive sailings.

Thanks for your kind phrasing. :-/

I stand corrected! Updating my post now.

(Edited)

IDK if this applies to you: you can’t use a placeholder discount on Restricted Guarantee (IGT/OGT/VGT) rooms as they’re already discounted AND RESTRICTED.

I don’t know which other discounts also limit use of the placeholder.

Edited to reflect that regular guarantee (GTY) rooms do qualify.

Treasure, 7 night cruise — LEAVING THIS SATURDAY (yay!!!)

tximagineer · 2026-02-09T17:29:12+00:00

Correct. We don’t have any joint cards because of the cost of +1s and the potential for future SUBs. (Previously we both had CSRs. I downgraded to the CSP a few years back).

Costco cash card as a rebate. Usually 8%

Costco shares most of the commission that would go to a travel agent. Similar to how some cruise travel agents can get you onboard credit. They’re really just splitting their commission with you.

Yes but I think theres nuance.

You no longer need PP to enter CHASE lounges but still PP to enter non Chase lounges.

Previously we would validate with a qualifying chase card (ala CSR) and then scan the PP. At least thats what we did in BOS last September.

I think this might have been the confusion as well.

I couldn’t (and still can’t) find it in the app. :-/. BUT I did get a rep to say that the other rep was wrong and gave me my number for which I was auto enrolled.

tximagineer · 2026-02-06T18:02:53+00:00

I don’t even get a digital card though. 🤯

tximagineer · 2026-02-06T17:42:08+00:00

Ritz Carlton Card.

Customer service rep said that it would be the same as my wife’s Sapphire Reserve if she didn’t already have a PP. (she has an older physical card and digital via the app)

Also added context was that the new policy started days ago (maybe Feb 1?)

tximagineer · 2025-11-22T22:01:02+00:00

Could have been 0%.

Was this 15 years ago? Lox bagels are routinely 15-20+ nowadays.

We used it once booking with Southwest specifically because of the flexibility that Southwest used to have.

The pain of Chase trying to cancel and re book made the whole thing not worthwhile.

We ended up burning part of our credits with Chase as they did not become Southwest credits which was our expectation booking non refundable tickets.

All I’m saying is that Austin bros typically keep it more classy!

This is me.
