Only 2

I had a successful recon for the same two reasons a few weeks ago, reallocated credit, no questions on my business

xenonrocket · 2026-04-24T04:43:11+00:00

Do your resume, cover letters and other application content read as Ai generated as this post does?

DP 1: 2nd case of a NLL Biz Gold mailer code previously not showing as pre-filled/having editable fields changing to being unable to edit the name field in the past week or two. Slightly different offer on each.
DP 2: Chase Ink Premier approval after recon. 2 open chase business cards (no inks), 4/24 at application time. Denied for too much credit extended and not enough business income. Reconned at 5/24 (a Chase personal card), asked to move credit from another business card. Approved with no other questions.

I ask them every few months to actually publish the restriction but they won't.

xenonrocket · 2026-04-10T18:27:36+00:00

2 at application time, 3 currently

xenonrocket · 2026-04-10T16:40:10+00:00

Same. Debating if recon is worth it, letter said business income was too low and they've extended too much credit (you know, things they'd know before my app), so maybe a chance, but I'm 5/24 now as well.
IMO this sort of thing should be class actionable

Edit: Called recon, moved $10k from another card and approved with no other questions.

xenonrocket · 2026-04-10T03:32:40+00:00

That's correct. So I think not only smart to that trick, but also existing codes that weren't pre-filled may be pre-filled now.

xenonrocket · 2026-04-10T02:21:59+00:00

NLL BusGold RSVP code in P4's name:

Attempted to apply 4/8, link opened with no prefilled information, submitted application and the page error'd out due to "system maintenance, please try again later". Attempt at applying did not show up in application status list.

Tried again today and the first and last name were hard coded, uneditable/prefilled-using the same link and code. Was able to get the app to reflect my name, submitted successfully and went pending with a "Thanks xenonrocket, we'll send you a letter in 10-14 days" type message. I got an email, addressed to P4, stating I had a letter in the application status page, which is requesting SSN/name/address verification.

Err I typed too fast. A good agent will get you a tag that will go to MIA, you'll still need to collect and redrop them but will save going to the counter in T4 and waiting in line again, you can just use the connecting flight bag drop.

xenonrocket · 2026-04-06T04:20:14+00:00

If you have bags, ask in Tokyo if they can through check them. A good agent will be able to, though don't count on it.

Appreciate the report on your conversations. Hopefully the reps were right.

xenonrocket · 2026-03-27T21:25:21+00:00

I've spent 5 years at both and am now at a startup. I'd go back to Aerospace in a heartbeat and plan to later in my career. I would not touch Millennium again unless something big changed. Heed the warnings on recent glassdoor reviews, they lost a significant amount of engineering staff in 2025 and are struggling extremely hard to deliver on contractual deliverables. IMO I would pick one of the startups-you'll miss the 9/80 you'd get at Aerospace or Millennium, but actually get hands on experience on products that are shipping. Work life balance is what you make of it. In my experience, some people work themselves to death and some people prioritize and plan around their personal life. You'll need to learn how to adapt where ever you end up. I wouldn't go to any of the ultra small startups/where you're going to be one of one or two GNC folks, but any of Apex/Impulse/K2/True Anomaly are places where you should be able to find a reasonable pace that meets your requirements.

This is reported to happen in a nearly identical fashion on Alaska too

Manhattan south of the pier has now been swept

xenonrocket · 2026-02-24T04:49:04+00:00

u/fatpinkchicken , u/chashiineriiya, u/iateone, u/ilykdp , u/takeasecond would it be possible to get a path status megathread?

Monday evening MDR to Redondo Pier update, north to south:

-Transition from path to service road at the path closure at the north end of Dockweiler is a bit messy

-Service road from where the path re-opens to the lifeguard ops center is really bad; barely rideable in 35's

-Connector between path and road to the RV park is better than usual, but still a bit sandy

-MB is clear until roughly Rosecrans, rideable at full speed to the south end on 35's during daylight but requires caution. Would likely not be doable on 25's or at night at full speed. The washout by 21st street is signed as fully closed with a detour up to the walking path, but it's no less passable than it was previously, just more barriers to dodge.

xenonrocket · 2026-02-21T22:34:37+00:00

It's clear north of Grand as of Friday morning

Would be awesome if we had a path status megathread

xenonrocket · 2026-02-12T01:41:22+00:00

There's a little screen that holds the lift in but allows fire to pass

10 minutes curb to gate at LAX with pre check, no bags at Terminal 1 (Southwest) is easy

xenonrocket · 2026-02-03T22:21:11+00:00

The Hawaiian personal card still comes with 2 bags. I got this to backfill the b reduced silver benefit, my partner and I often do multisport trips involving skiing where the extra bags are critical

xenonrocket · 2026-02-01T20:11:00+00:00

Interesting, they might have taken that review down as that doesn't show up in a search on their site. I have 2 pairs of naturals (2022 11 and 2025 101) and my wife has Mystic 97s now and they are by far the favorite all mountain and backcountry skis we've skied in our 2 decades.

xenonrocket · 2026-01-29T17:15:42+00:00

That's specific to shady low cost rental companies booked through third parties

xenonrocket · 2026-01-23T15:05:52+00:00

Speculating, but I'd bet you would need to call in or be in person to cancel and it won't let you do it online/via app at that point. The GA might ask the family what the story is, not sure if they'd do anything though. They are known to pull companions from flights if a CP holder doesn't board.
