TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
Here is how I am thinking about status. I'm United. Not a big business flyer. 90% of my flying is personal. Silver pretty much only gets you economy plus within 24 hours. In order to get silver I'd probably end up spending an extra $500-750 on flights vs being a mercenary. I don't really check bags very often so free baggage doesn't do anything for me. if I fly 10x a year and I get economy plus with an average of $50 I'm barely break even if not behind a little bit. It seems like if you can gain status organically then its worth it but chasing it doesnt' seem worth it

I've completely stop drinking on the weekdays mostly just due to wanting good sleep I spent 6 hours yesterday site seeing in panama. Walking. Getting in an out of a van 30 times. Standing in line. I feel like I was in a car accident

Same same. I also assume it could suffice as a government ID in the rare case I lose my DL or Passport

I renewed my son's GE. Instant approval. The card is worthless if you are traveling by air. Some people have reported being asked for it in order to use the kiosks

I'm in the Hilton eco. The surpass has 150k right now. Annual fee is only $95. It's pretty easy to get to diamond and like the poster above said, you get crazy pts by being diamond and having the credit card.

That seems to be a lot of pts for a relatively short flight. I am leaving tomorrow for Panama on 35,000 United pts as a comparison

As long as you understand how far 90k dleta will get you. Hint. Not far. They have the most pricey award chart in the business from my experience

San Antonio
COPA @Ghost of LL I'm going to save you some time and aggravation. Pro tip from someone who has been out there a zillion times. When you leave Schertz soccer complex. DO NOT go south down to 1518.. Go north to Schertz Pwky. The traffic on 1518 at 35 can really back up if you get a bunch of games ending at the same time. If you do end up on 1518 there is a Valero there with a pretty good selection of singles. Just saying Mac nailed most of it. Just remember. Nothing in San Antonio is really far from anywhere. Esp on a Saturday. Even Madrid's is only 30 mins away

Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Quick help from the more experienced anglers. headed down to central america. Pacific. will spend a day inshore fishing with a guide. other days will be spent just chilling around the resort which is right on the water. they have a dock so i thought Id take a travel set up and just grab a beer and throw some line out. not sure ill have access to any bait so my thought was to take a few hooks and lures. Guide says grey snapper aka mangrove should be around. So what should I do? Popper? use a spec rig? internet says #2 hook. any thoughts on a few lures to take? Also might take my set up to the beach or any place else anyone recommends while down there.

- Getting old sucks
Checking in. Last Saturday squatted. Which I seldom do anymore because of my back. Felt a little stiffness in my left knee on Sunday. Not unusual since I've had surgery on that knee. Monday rode my mtn bike. Overnight Monday my knee looked like it had a grapefruit in it. Figured it was just overuse. So I stared ice and anti-inflammatories. Not much help and the pain was excruciating. My ortho buddy was in surgery that day so he got me into their walk in ortho. PA took out 100cc. But wouldn't do an injection because the fluid didn't look right. And I was running a low grade fever. So infection was unlikely but they don't want to inject it if for some reason it actually is an infection. 800mg ibu and tramadol. Helped a little but it swelled right back up so any movement at all was so freaking painful. Little to no sleep these last 5 days. I kind of understand getting addicted to narcotics because I would have shot heroin for some pain relief. Labs back last night. No infection but confirmed psuedogout. Went back into walkin. Dr on duty drained another 100cc and steroid shot. I feel like a new man this morning. Getting old sucks.- Tottenham Hotspur 2022-23: Conte the Magician
