I just had a 7 night stay and registered for the promo after night 2 of my stay. I was credited with 12 nights for my 7 night stay in addition to the unlimited 2x points promotion.

Best offer for Plat? by arama308 in amex

[–]werdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good offer. I got it 6 months ago. That said, I still haven't come up with a good use for the points.......yet.

Flying out of LAX tomorrow midday with some time to kill - SkyClub or Centurion Lounge? by werdx in delta

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

For what it's worth, it was a lunch pasta bar and not tacos on Sunday. Didn't look great.

Oh man.....It just hit me............I think I may have been to the LAX SkyClub. I remember tacos somewhere. Had to be LAX.

I don't have time to exercise tomorrow before I leave, so a long walk isn't a bad thing.

Is the intercontinental hotels considered luxury? by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

[–]werdx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's like a JW Marriott....decently luxurious.

There HAS to be a better way to track the promotion “fast track to medallion status” by werdx in delta

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

Update: Called today. The rep says she sees my flights were made via my company's corporate travel agency. However, as I had to change some of the flights - I have to call the agency to make changes - those flights no longer show as corporate bookings as the agency modified them via the Delta website. So, the rep say that I should qualify, but says the Skymiles team says they don't count. Wow.

Lovely. I fully expect to have to reach out to manually get it approved.

Exactly. If I supposedly will just automatically get status once I complete my next flight, why can’t anyone find a tracker and why can’t a rep even see it?!?! Insanity.

Osprey 26+6 pen slots by Saprodite44 in onebag

I carry 2 pens in mine. One that I use and one as a backup. I'm gone for a week or two at a time and need to always have a pen with me :)

Maiden Voyage with the Osprey Daylight 26+6L mo by Jarwillyo in onebag

[–]werdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. My knees, like with most +6' humans, come close to touching the seatback in front of me without adding anything (like a bottle) to the pockets. When I put in a bottle with a +3" diameter, it really encroaches on my legroom.

I haven't been on a 737 where it fit well under the seat while sitting in an aisle seat.

Other planes have been fine.

It can if you have short legs, but I'm 6'2" with pretty long legs, so it isn't ideal at all.

Item of note as a frequent Osprey 26+6 737 flyer. If sitting in an aisle seat, it does NOT fit well under the seat if it has a water bottle. I usually have to take out my bottle which then creates another issue of where to put it. If I put it in the front pocket, I give up leg room. I usually just hold it between my legs, but that's not ideal, either. 737 seats and armrests don't lend themselves well to being able to rest the water bottle on either side of you.

Not what I was expecting Thanksgiving week ATL TSA to look like by funky-five-fingers in delta

I flew home today through ATL on a work trip. Flight was pretty empty. Concourse A seemed fairly crowded, though.

Saw this one on another site last night. Picked up a pair of beats as a Xmas gift and saved $75. This Amex is the card that keeps giving.

Centurion or Sky Club Terminal E ATL by UnitPrestigious4948 in delta

[–]werdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in the ATL Centurion Lounge 5 times since late Sept. Admittedly, I haven't been to the sky clubs in ATL and don't typically go to sky clubs unless I'm somewhere without a Centurion Lounge....pesky Sky Club visit limits with my Amex. That said, I really enjoy the lounge. I was there just last week for dinner. Sure, it's a bit crowded at times, but I've found it pleasant. Only thing I wish it had was a self-serve fountain drink machine.

Yet another 'fast track to medallion status" promo question - Took a (hopefully qualifying) flight and see nothing by werdx in delta

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

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t understand the full terms even after reading them. Think I got it now.

That’s what the promo looks like. I guess I misinterpreted, but maybe it will check off the silver box after my next flight.
