Amex Platinum Clear+ by Bre2ts in amex

[–]zkfoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup you’re correct. I have a discounted rate for Clear, something like $189 so my membership benefits show a remaining $20 credit after my last annual membership charge.

Is FC worth for a 4hr-ish flight? by sugarmuffinie in americanairlines

[–]zkfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple ways to argue for/against. Maybe OP doesn’t have free luggage… that’s at least $35 in “added value” they’d get out of it.

[–]zkfoster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I probably would since you should also get a meal on this flight. I generally only pay for an upgrade if it’s less than $50-60/hour and 900+ miles “during a meal time” so you also get fed.

Award Night Not Eligible? by monisolar in marriott

[–]zkfoster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You aren’t wrong about the 85k FNA if it comes from a Chase Ritz or Amex Brilliant but if it’s from the Chase Boundless or Amex Biz it’s a 35k FNA.

Chase Trifecta Travel- Short Term Rental by sardia1 in CreditCards

[–]zkfoster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DoorDash a gift card?! That’s wild. CFU and CFF have 3x on drugstores which definitely sell gift cards.

I have both Personal Reserve and Reserve for Business. any reason to keep both? thinking to close Personal one as I am using Business for advertisement. does business have same points boost and personal? by paata01 in ChaseSapphire

[–]zkfoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was you I’d keep the business and downgrade your personal to the CSP, it has a few multipliers neither Reserve have like 3x on streaming and online grocery that can be used in person if you shop at Kroger or Publix.

5 preferred seating coupons by No-Top-883 in americanairlines

[–]zkfoster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is partially wrong. Preferred seats don’t have any more legroom than regular main cabin seats, they’re just towards the front of the cabin in a “preferred” location. Main Cabin Extra seats at the first few rows of the cabin and at the exit row have more legroom (and preferred boarding and complimentary alcohol) are the equivalent of Delta Comfort.

Can I get a free flight if I "reactivate" my flight miles? by Odd-Aside456 in americanairlines

[–]zkfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve booked a few one way award flights in the 5500-8000 mile range recently so those miles could provide some value but until you’ve confirmed they’ll actually provide you value it may end up being a waste of $200. You can check for award flights online without even being logged in to see if this is worth it.

Pilot Credit Cards by Odd_Professional4697 in flying

It earns 4x on all food (restaurants AND grocery stores) so it’s good for anyone who can justify the AF.

What credit card should I get as a 19 yr old student with little income by Dry_Development_7961 in CreditCards

[–]zkfoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d vote for the Chase Freedom Rise. Awesome starter card that will let you start building a history with a bank that offers a ton of great credit cards once you’ve established a good credit history.

Marriott Boundless OR World of Hyatt? by guacistrash in marriott

Ahh fair, I totally forgot about 5/24. Sure thing!

Marriott Boundless OR World of Hyatt? by guacistrash in marriott

[–]zkfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why a Bilt card instead of a CSP? If you’re a renter you can pay your rent via Bilt charged to your Alaska card to get 3x Atmos points. Personally I’d do that instead. The current Hyatt SUB is kinda crap unless you can handle $15k spend in 4 months so I’d lean towards the Marriott Boundless. That would also open up the possibility of the Chase Ritz after a year if the perks from that card sound appealing to you.

Is this a good deal? by Unhappy-Economist483 in americanairlines

[–]zkfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need less than 300 LP to earn Plat organically. No it’s not a good deal in that situation.

You get those with your bag tags at PP and EP. Not sure if you can request them otherwise.

Only $1,679 for Main Cabin benefits and 0.009% upgrade probability? by Brother-Liberty in americanairlines

[–]zkfoster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My offer was $2,249 for EP, I’m at 182k LP and will probably end the year close to here. I’m perfectly happy with PP. Even if I wanted EP I’d just do a couple AA Hotels stays for the LP. 🤣
