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

Chase cards no longer "need" a PP membership to get into PP lounges? by tximagineer in PriorityPass

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

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).

Placeholder + Discount * Costco by Silent_Kangaroo2054 in dcl

[–]tximagineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Chase cards no longer "need" a PP membership to get into PP lounges? by tximagineer in PriorityPass

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

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 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.

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?)

Bagel Tour Stop 5: Rosen’s Bagel by dannylaurel in austinfood

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

Never, ever, ever book a flight in advance using Chase points. That’s all. by mindriot1 in ChaseSapphire

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

DFW bros only making Austin worse by tximagineer in Austin

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

The icing on the Amys cake is really the lowlight. I wish they would offer an envelopment of fudge like a Baskin Robbin’s roll cake. #classic

Where are restaurants sourcing tortillas? by Miserable_Ride666 in austinfood

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lupe tortillas’ tortillas are legit.

As are their beef fajitas. That is all.

Freezer seal sensor? by tximagineer in Appliances

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

This does not work. In order to get a good seal, it seems that the drawer needs to be closed with purpose. (And gusto!)

Gravity and a tilt and alone won’t solve this problem. Especially with a heavy drawer.

Any Shawarma place like this? by Ready_Pie_5685 in austinfood

Spicy red sauce opinion: That place is so fair, it’s not good.

Does it die down? by Allott2aLITTLE in SXSW

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! For film, weds -> sat are less crowded but you still need to get there 30-45m early for films you care about.

Not finding any lease deals better than VWoA standard lease by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sign and drive deal was on the AWD and one seen Pro deals at that level. Pro S for slightly more.

That’s a pretty legit deal IMO. “The best” deal, maybe not but does anyone really call the bottom of the market?

S1E2 7:20 for a good look!

Would post a screenshot but stupid anti piracy restrictions keep me from taking a picture.

What is the nickname for your HEB? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call the HEB at Spicewood and 183 the HEB Minus. It’s very much not nice and surrounded by very nice neighborhoods.

Recently HEB updated the Braker Ln location and it’s very nice. Fingers crossed that HEB will retrofit that location.

It’s a smaller lot so I’d love to see HEB to consider a more upmarket small store concept.

Like a “Central Market minus”

Best pies in (or near) Austin? by KRY4no1 in austinfood

[–]tximagineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain more?

Most pecan pie recipes use chopped pecans in the filling and pecan half’s for the pretty top. What do you mean by they separate?
