    Chase Sapphire Reserve insurance kicks in if you’ve paid a portion of your flight (in this case taxes) with it.

    Your AA credit card gets you a free checked bag on domestic flights, whether you pay with it or not.

    In November 2022 I had a 10 day rental of a midsize SUV with Avis for $280.

    Booked through AutoSlash.com

    I think paid $320 for the mandatory insurance.

    Used my Chase Sapphire Preferred for CDW coverage.

    Check out Wolf Creek in Southern Colorado.

    It is family-run and only $80 lift passes.

    The New York Times just did a story about it.

    Do Emirates!!!

    The old suites have way more room and are nicer to relax.

    New suites have better technology and look and feel but are much smaller.

    The service and food of Emirates are way better than Qatar.

    You won’t get the shower but the bathrooms are still big.

    January 25, 2024 at 3:16 pm in reply to: My Bilt Credit Card Cell Phone Protection Review

    Yes I had a similar experience.

    I dropped my iPhone 13 Pro Max down the elevator shaft (don’t ask how I did it).

    The entire phone was basically destroyed.

    I took it to a local repair shop (not Apple), and they said it was cheaper to get a new one but they could give me credit for the old one.

    I needed a phone so I agreed and didn’t think Bilt would cover it.

    I submitted the claim to Bilt and they said they needed my last month’s phone bill showing I paid with Bilt.

    I had just gotten the Bilt card, so actually, I had paid the bill with my other card.

    I was pretty sad about it and they told me on the phone they couldn’t approve it, but then a month later I got a check in the mail from them for the cost of the new phone.

    Maybe it was a mistake, I am not sure but in the end the Bilt Cell Phone Protection did work!

    Many Hertz locations have Tesla.

    My tip is to set aside some charging time before returning the car.

    AMA Waterways and Uniworld are much nicer than Viking.

    I’ve done about 8 river cruises and those two are where you want to be.

    I booked a business class seat for my 9 and 13 year old, 2 weeks ago.

    25% discount for the 9 year old!

    I did it online, on points.

    Just make sure you’re selecting the age range of each passenger when you’re searching for the number of seats you need,

    December 18, 2023 at 9:46 am in reply to: Should I Get Bilt Rewards Credit Card?

    Absolutely love my BILT card.

    Decent multipliers.

    Travel insurance benefits.

    $0 annual fee.

    Flawless rent payment.

    There’s really no reason not to have this card if you rent.

    And now they even allow you to see transfer partner searches on their app.

    It’s fantastic.

    WestJet is a good airline.

    Flew my family of 4 to Maui with points in May, and use the companion voucher all the time.

    Always have had comfortable flights.

    Always had funny and entertaining flight attendants.

    December 8, 2023 at 6:58 pm in reply to: Is Air Canada Or Delta Better For Flying With Kids?

    I’m not a fan of Air Canada’s ground service, but the air experience has been amazing both times we’ve flown with our kids, pre and post-COVID.

    Both were in business class, starting when our youngest was 4.

    While she was napping, the flight attendant offered my 8-year old a tour of the galley—she even got to ride in the little elevator!

    When I mentioned I was glad flying with young kids wasn’t an issue, a different flight attendant told me they’d rather deal with kids than a drunk businessman any day!

    Have similar spending.

    I took Venture X Business.

    2x points on all uncapped.

    Capital One points are good.
