  1. Ok...so I've apparently been targeted for an AMEX Bus Plat offer of 150K MR points for $15K spend over 3 months (via snail mail). The offer does NOT have the "lifetime restriction" language stating that you can't get the offer if you've had the card before. However, I've already GOT an AMEX Bus Plat. But, research shows that if you've got one of these targeted offers, you CAN get the offer...even if you have a current card. Yes, you can have 2 AMEX Bus Plat cards at one time. I just got a couple Chase cards so I'm holding off until April (I've got til 4/13) to try to sign up so I can complete the spending on the Chase cards first. I also saw this list which apparently looks like it might work in my AMEX acct...so I'll check into it at the end of March. It gives you an extra 10K points with a $1K spend by an AU... https://dannydealguru.com/amex-business-platinum-160k-offer/
  2. Few understand this They didn't get the memo...

  4. True. It's the last place that satellites would look.
  5. I saw Abramovich's jet and yacht in St Martin. He's got some REALLY nice shit he's about to lose. And you can't just "hide" a $500 million dollar yacht.
  6. Meh...when I lived out in Weatherford, west of Ft Worth, there were some places out there where you could have a 5K sqft house on 3 acres for around a million. Have to live 40 min from downtown Ft Worth though.
  7. I said I was a Cardinals fan. I didn't say I liked St Louis. Other than the Arch (which is cool to go up in), that city sucks.
  8. I did something like that to get my trip to NYC back in 2020 (right before covid). No way you could get that hotel for that price, plus the freebies, AND you're already going that way. And it's easy to tell them NO at the end of the pitch. I did one of those about 10 years ago and the guy looked at me right as he started and said if I was just going to say no then let's just get it over with. I was done in 15 min.
  9. Well, Texas IS the best, bar none. And I didn't live in the US until I was 10 - grew up in Europe and Asia. And I've traveled all over the world. As a Cardinals fan, I wholeheartedly agree. Although I'd love to go to a home stand at Wrigley one day.
  10. Come on... The perfect chain for the RGV is On The Border...
  11. Well...at first glance, it appears I got the Chase cards (6 and 7 w/in 24 months) AND the bonus according to my iPhone Chase app. It has my cards in there along with a section showing how much spending I've done towards the $5K for each card to earn the bonus. SWA card doesn't show the Companion pass as part of the 30K bonus but I figure that's just for brevity since the section is pretty small (at least I hope). As a side note, logging into my Chase acct on my MacBook does NOT show that section. So...my advice is to go look at all your accts that have Chase cards associated with them (SWA, United, BA, etc) and see if you have PRE-APPROVED offer for a card...because it seemed to work for me. NOTE: Neither of those 2 accts have the pre-approved offer anymore.
  12. Free turkeys from the sky on Thanksgiving. As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
  13. I lived in a small town in England growing up. The church we went to in town was built in 1300. The officer's club on base was an old priory built in 1050. Buncha new shit here in the US...
  14. True. But if you've never had food from southern NM, you don't know what you're missing...
  15. The music is great too...Grabbing a coffee and beignet and sitting in Jackson Square and listening to/watching all the entertainers is just a fun time. Or going up to Frenchmen St...
  16. San Antonio...first place I lived when I moved to the US (my dad grew up there). Las Cruces - lived here while working at WSMR. The Mexican food here is WAY better than anywhere else, including northern NM and Tex Mex. And I LOVE Tex Mex. North Padre Island - I moved here and bought my retirement home. One day I hope to retire. But, at least I live on a canal and my boat is ready to go in just a few minutes. South Padre Island - My cousin has a condo here. I have a key. Enough said. NOLA - Just a fun place to go. And the FOOD! And the DRINKS! Say no more.
  17. Where in Helotes was it back then?
  18. If you're traveling international AND checking a bag, AA requires you to have that bag checked no less than 1 hr before flight. I've almost missed a flight to Paris (luckily it was delayed) because the line to check bags was crazy and it took 30 min before I could get the bag checked in. I got there 1 hr 15 min before my flight. Now, I add a cushion just in case...and that means lounge time. And why not? Free premium liquor or go to a non-airport bar and PAY?
  19. That's why I'm glad I've got Admiral's Club access too... I've never seen it that busy, though. That's ridiculous. Probably the reason they're restricting guests starting next year.
