  1. Come on... The perfect chain for the RGV is On The Border...
  2. 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.
  3. Free turkeys from the sky on Thanksgiving. As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
  4. 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...
  5. True. But if you've never had food from southern NM, you don't know what you're missing...
  6. I'm right. You're wrong. Shush!
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. Where in Helotes was it back then?
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. Oh...and while I was on this quest, I looked at my British Airways account just to see if I had a PRE-APPROVED offer there. No bueno... BUT...It looks like the BA card is offering 100K Avios as their bonus. In addition to that, the Aer Lingus and Iberia cards are also offering 100K Avios. So, you could potentially get 300K Avios and take a bad ass trip or four...
  13. Well...shit. That's the only reason I wanted the fucking cards. Everything I'd seen was that they wouldn't even approve you if you're over 5/24. Oh well.
  14. Interesting tidbit about Chase and the 5/24... I had looked awhile back and I've had 5 cards opened within the past 2 years. I'm coming up on 3 of them dropping off, but that's in April, June and September. However, I logged into my Southwest Airlines account this past weekend looking for prices on a flight I'll be taking over spring break and it had an offer for their Southwest Chase card with 30K pts and the free Companion Pass - and it said I was PRE-APPROVED. It's a fucking awesome deal, so I just said fuck it and applied. What's the worst thing that could happen? Ooooohhhh...an inquiry hits my credit report and I don't get the card (which I don't have now, so it's continues the status quo). Well, I got the "We're researching your application and get back to you" message. Oh well, no card. The next morning, I get an email from Chase - "Congratulations!!! We've approved your card application. We'll be sending it out soon." So, now I've got 6 cards opened in 24 months. But WAIT! There's more!!!! Yesterday, I logged Into my United Airlines account to see about a flight for this weekend (SWA doesn't fly out of the airport I need and AA was RIDICULOUSLY expensive). Lo and behold, I've got an offer for one of their cards - with a better deal than I've seen elsewhere. AND it's PRE-APPROVED. This couldn't work again, could it, says I? Ah...fuck it, why not? Applied and got the same "We're researching your application and get back to you" message as before. And...this morning came the good news..."Congratulations!!! We've approved your card application. We'll be sending it out soon." So, now I have 7 accounts opened in the past 24 months. Is Chase getting soft in their old age? Or is the "PRE-APPROVED" offer truly pre-approved regardless of the 5/24? Anywho, figured I'd let y'all know so you can see if it works for others...
  15. We just bought some hardware and software for some simulation stuff at work. Yearly maintenance and other subscriptions are right around $55K/year... WTF?
  16. Coming back to the US you can also show proof of COVID recovery in the past 90 days. I think it requires proof of a positive test AND a letter from a Dr stating you were cleared to travel...
  17. Especially restaurants that can't just do what places like Snow's or Franklin's where they only serve until they're sold out - and they have to serve until some arbitrary time that they've chosen to close the restaurant...
  18. Rudy's smoked turkey is pretty tasty. My son in law is a GM at Rudy's and several Thanksgivings he's brought the turkey from there and it hit the spot. And I agree with the comment on their sauce. It's really good.
  19. I've been numerous times over the past year...never had a wait. Sometimes had a bit of an issue finding an open seat, but that's because I want to use my laptop, so I kind of want a table. This is at DFW and MIA...
  20. It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
  21. I love the MiG-28...🤣
  22. Because Michael Caine is funny...
  23. When you first start, the limit will be somewhat lower, since they don't have any real data on your spending and payoff habits. After some time, the limit will increase...often a lot... I just checked and both my personal and business Plat cards have 6 figure limits right now.
  24. Figured this was a good place for this...
