  1. Literally as the commemter says clean sheet
  2. Anything wrong with Kulu? Or is Conte just changing things up with Lucas?
  3. Just applied for the infinite. I got the "we will let you know" email but I already know Chase because you added it to my Chase credit card portal. Boom. Just gotta spend that $6k
  4. I would agree with everyone in that traveling with edibles is the way to go. I have a friend, ahem. That has taken either taken edibles or brought gummies home on pretty much every domestic trip in the last 3 years. Same friend, ahem. took an entire vacuum sealed bag of brownies on a flight to NYC and just laid them right on the top of his clothes in his carryon. On one trip to Seattle this person bought two packs of gummies back and told his kids that they were "for his elderly mom" to help her sleep. When he was going through security his daughter says out loud. Do you think they will care about the gummies. Hey kid. snitches get stiches. Shut up
  5. If you use tapatalk you can attach photos from your phone tapa will host @Moby Ric
  6. The issue is that AMEX approved anyone with a 600 credit score for the Plat card so they could capture the fee and the higher processing fee. I think the Plat is double what it is for say a green. I was recently in the Delta club in SLC going and SEA coming back ironically because the AMEX club was full and it was just as busy and just as loud as the AMEX club. I've also been in a sky club in ATL recently and it was pretty full but it was like a library and the only sound were people ordering drinks. I'm not going to lie. I take my teenagers in the DFW when I travel with them but they act like adults and are just there for the free food. The last time I was in the DFW lounge I felt like I was at a day care.
  7. I almost bought that car a year ago having been a previous CTS V owner. That's a damn nice car. Throw up some pictures if you don't mine. If I hadn't done the Mach 1 the CT5 Blackwing was my second choice.
  8. I ordered a Mach 1 in September of 2021. Put a $500 deposit on my credit card. They sold it to me at MSRP. Since I missed the 2021 build I get a 2022 so I will pay probably 1k more. Build started on 420 and finished on April 22. Testing takes a few days and it shipped to the dealer today. Hopefully I have it within a week. I wanted a manual so that eliminated pretty much every car but this one. If you want a Mach 1 better hurry because they only produce them from April to October. The hard part is to get your dealer to actually put your order in. They would much rather put in dealer orders that they can sell with a mark up. If it weren't for a friend who knows the McCombs family i'd probably still be waiting. This is my actual car https://www.saford.com/new-San+Antonio-2022-Ford-Mustang-Mach+1-1FA6P8R07N5551260
  9. The first time I went to Belize was in August. Two things. It's the offseason. Maybe things are different in 2022 with so many people traveling but don't be surprised if its dead. Might be what you are looking for but if you are looking for a Mexico type party you might be disappointed. Two it's off season because its freaking hot. Like Houston hot and humid. As a Texan it didn't really bother me but I can understand why a lot of people don;t go to Belize in August
  10. I'm about to do this as well. Esp with the Plat lounges being a joke these days and San Antonio only has a United Club. Per the Chase associate even though I got the United Explorer card and 70k pts a year ago I can still get the infinite 120k bonus. Per my spreadsheet I just moved down to 4 on the Chase 5/24 rule as of a week ago. I'd probably go ahead and dump my CSP and as soon as I finish my UK trip next month on AA I'll close my Barclay to lose some annual fees. That would leave me with AX Plat, Hilton Amex, Delta AX, Chase freedom (which I might also close) SWA and Citi Premier. Has anyone successfully called Chase and found out if you are under the 5/24?
  11. Yeah but have you seen the flight prices? I can usually get to BZE from SA for under $400. Everything is way north of $500. My special lady friend wants a beach vacation and I talked her out of Tulum to go to San Pedro. She tick tocked it and she's all geeked up
  12. Same camp for me being in SA. This is more pts related so I am going to post my CC plan on the pts thread.
  13. I'd like to hear more you work thought it. I am on a FB group called moving to CR and it's pretty informative but also some really dumb stuff. Was thinking the same. Bounce around to a few towns for 3-4 month stretches before buying
  14. Make sure you have 50 bedroom place for all the surly assholes who will be crashing with you
  15. This is my understanding. Several of the travel twits and bloggers etc are reporting back that the general attitude and customer service with United is excellent. Personally I had a small issue in flying with my kids for spring break. United was very accommodating even putting us in a prem economy seat for free as a gesture.
  16. Twitters says Skipp had surgery here in the US today and will obviously be out for the remainder of the season
  17. Where are the pics? Anything left handed is a bitch. I am left handed due to being blind in my right eye so I shoot left even though I'm right. Hard because my son is right so we have to share. Always interested in left stuff
  18. Well if I wasn't an honest person: 9 of you would be getting free gloves. Clearly Amazon had a fullflment problem. If for any reason they don't want them back then it's give away time unless you have hobbit fingers. But I doubt the want to give away $300 worth of gloves
  19. That was my understanding of why they were able to underbid the majors for decades is that they did a great job of hedging their fuel costs for years and years
