When airlines change their schedule, do they email us the new schedule right away, or do we have to keep checking their websites?

MemberFebruary 2, 2024 at 10:30 am in reply to: Are AMEX Points Better Than Chase Ultimate Rewards?Depends on what your travel goals are and how much work you want to put in.
Chase is generally more beginner-friendly and people love Ultimate Rewards for the good base value and Hyatt redemptions.
AmEx Membership Rewards has the best transfer partners for airlines, but you really, really have to know what you’re doing to get good value out of them.
If you’re a beginner or you don’t want to work that hard to get value out of your points, either do UR or cashback.
MR are for intermediate to advanced players.
Eventually, ideally, you’ll want both for different reasons.

I was just there for New Year and stayed at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and drank the water from the tap and it was fine.
Even at restaurants, we drank tap water and had no issues.
That Grayl water purifying bottle though is super cool.
I am going to get one for when I go to Thailand.
Thanks for sharing it.

So in your case, you would not get the bonus.

MemberJanuary 10, 2024 at 10:14 am in reply to: What Are Best Travel Sized Toiletries For Women?Seconding the recommendation for Lush shampoo/conditioner bars!
I also use Dr Bronners travel size soap that can be used as body wash or to do laundry in the sink.
Get the Matador leak proof dry-through cases for all the soap bars – they’re great!
My other recommendation for 2 weeks in a carry-on is to air out the clothes you wear each day (just lay them on the back of a chair).
It makes them much less likely to smell and able to be re-worn without washing.

MemberDecember 17, 2023 at 4:31 pm in reply to: Can I Use My $300 Ritz Carlton Travel Credit On Alaska Air?Yes that should work!
Ritz travel credit is super easy to use.
After the transaction posts, secure message Chase and they should be able to apply the airline incidental credits.
Assuming tickets and upgrades are refundable on Alaska, then you should be able to get the credit back into your Alaska wallet.

Take whichever opens up first as it’s never guaranteed they will offer seats to partners.
