MemberDecember 7, 2023 at 9:54 am in reply to: Best Tips To Avoid Getting Sick When Traveling?I have become one of those N95 mask people in the airport and on the plane.
Yes, I know the air gets filtered, but when people so close are coughing and sneezing, I’m pretty sure the ick gets to you before the filters.
So far, knock wood, it has broken my pattern of coming home sick from every trip.

MemberDecember 1, 2023 at 7:23 pm in reply to: Can I Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards To Avianca LifeMiles?The slightly longer answer is no, there is not a direct transfer for Chase to Avianca Lifemiles.
However, Avianca is in Star Alliance and you can transfer to United or Air Canada so you might check if either of them has decent booking options.

I saw a YouTube video about it before leaving but didn’t pay for it.

If your inbound flight is delayed by even 15 minutes, then you are screwed.
I’d say a minimum of 2 hours but 3 to be safe.

MemberOctober 30, 2023 at 4:37 pm in reply to: If I Pay Off My Chase Card Early, Do I Still Receive Sign Up Bonus?I’ve done it quite a few times, but have the same concern.
They only gave me $3K limit a few years ago and that’s still all I have.
I’d ask for a higher limit, but I’m at 5/24 and don’t want them to review and call the whole relationship into question.

With that being said, points “generally” aren’t good value in Vegas.
Anyone can stay on the strip.
Be cool and stay in old Vegas.

MemberOctober 9, 2023 at 9:15 am in reply to: Should I Upgrade My Chase Freedom To Unlimited?I would keep the original Freedom and also sign up for the Freedom Unlimited to get the [admittedly paltry] SUB.
I like having them both since I will use the CFU for my everyday spending and only use the original for spending in the quarterly bonus categories.

Just the 10,000, assuming you met the MQD or MQD waiver requirement for Platinum.
2024 status is still earned under the old system with MQMs + MQDs.
The new system goes into effect in 2024 for earning 2025 status.

MemberOctober 4, 2023 at 4:33 pm in reply to: How Many Devices Can I Use With T-Mobile Free Airline Wifi?I believe you can only connect on your phone.
I used it last week on United and connected for the 1 hour on my phone but when I tried on my computer I didn’t even have the T-Mobile option on the connect to WiFi menu.

1:05 seems too short to me.
They’ll start boarding the next flight before you get off the first one and you’ll still have to go through exit immigration and I think also security.
I don’t recall there being a way to get to the 2E departure gates from 2F without passing security, but I might be wrong about that.
Flying AMS-CDG-IAD, you’ll have to go through exit immigration in Paris, since AMS-CDG is intra-Schengen.
