  1. Interesting...I just got an offer in the mail from AMEX to activate their Pay Over Time plan on my Platinum card. If I activated it, I'd get 20K MR points. I read through the paper work and saw no spending/paying requirements so I signed up. Says 8-12 weeks after activation to see the MRs in the acct. Hope some of y'all can be so lucky to get free money for doing nothing.
  2. According to everything I've seen, this change just affects how status is earned, not reward miles.
  3. https://aadvantagestatus.com/ Here's the link to the update
  4. I can see this driving people to their credit cards, since you get 1 Loyalty Point for every dollar spent. That could get you a decent amount towards status without even getting on a plane.
  5. Fenway Tour sounds cool. Only 2 real BB stadiums left(Wrigley is the other)...I think I may try to do that and then start eating and drinking my way back towards the airport.
  6. Since I'm only up there for a day essentially, I think I'll try to get some NE Yankee food...chowdah, lobstah roll, scrod, etc... BTW. what are the Rona Rules in Boston right now?
  7. Thanks! Any other off the beaten path things I should see in a 1 day trip. I've been before and done the big things like the Trail and Old North Church, Revere's house, etc. Just curious if there's something that's quick to get to but not what the tourons go to all the time. Is there a "favorite" bar you have in that area?
  8. I'm going to stay in East Boston by the airport. But, on Saturday I want to know the best/cheapest/easiest way to get to North End and then some of the other places there. OR...and I'm going out on a limb here....Are there any good places in East Boston by the airport? Also, are there any HISTORICAL things I can see in that short of a time....
  9. WhAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT????? Taxis taking the most expensive route? You canNOT be serious!!!!
  10. Don't you be hating on Tootsie!!!!
  11. Schrodingers' BBQ?
  12. I think because of my late arrival on Friday and early departure on Sunday, I'll end up staying close to the airport in East Boston. So, what's the easiest way to get from EB to the North End or and of the other parts mentioned above? Uber/Lyft? Taxi? Subway?
  13. I'll try that...
  14. I live on the Island. Mathis is a 1 hr drive. But. I AM gong to try out these options. There's also one down Waldron that just got started. "Gotta Have It." I'll try it and report back.
  15. When I was 1-5 years old I lived in Darmstadt. My folks were friends with a local German family. I remember when St Nicklaus came to the friend's house... It was magical. That's the only way to describe it. Kids in the US wouldn't understand.
  16. I get this sentiment... However, I also look at it from the other direction, too. Texas BBQ is what it is BECAUSE of the trinity and simplicity. Just like KC is known for burnt ends/sweet sauce, Carolina for hog and their different sauces, etc. I just hope this doesn't stray TOO far from the original. Don't want it to be like a list of the top 50 Tex Mex joints having a #1 because of their Lomo Saltado and Arroz Chaufa...just because they didn't stick to the origins of Tex Mex. That said, I'm going to have to try a lot of these new places. Glad to see DFW is getting better BBQ than Dickeys and Rudys... Now...I just need some good BBQ in Corpus.
  17. I stayed in Benalmedina, the next town south, a few years ago. It was AWESOME. Take a day trip to the Rock of Gibraltar. They kids will love the Macaques.
  18. That would be like saying my last meal in Lockhart Texas would be an Allsups burrito...
  19. DFW BBQ pretty much sucked the whole time I lived there. Pecan Lodge and Heim opened up, but I don't go to Dallas much (I lived in Weatherford) and Heim was just starting when I left. So, what makes the BBQ better at these new DFW locations than the BBQ in Luling and Lockhart? Because that shit is GOOOoooooD! I will note that I'm probably going to pass on my gameday trips to Snow's from now on. As Yogi Berra said, "No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded."
  20. Don't forget Bill Millers. No WAY they're not Top 5. I mean, just like Dickey's, they've got lots of restaurants. And isn't THAT really the measure of how good something is? Like Applebees and Chiles!
  21. Harlingen? Shit. Someone needs to go to jail for that. I got to spend 5 weeks in Harlingen this summer. That was the worst 20 years of my life.
  22. So, I'm looking at doing a status run to keep my Platinum status with AA for the next year. I need about 3350 EQMS so I was looking around and I can get a little over 4K EQMs for a QUICK weekend trip to Boston. Fly in late Friday, have all day to do stuff in Boston, then fly out Sun morning. Flight is $298 - which is a cheap price to pay to keep Platinum (plus I get mini vacation). Hotel is paid by points. I've been to Boston before - about 5 years ago. So, I've done the Freedom Trail and a lot of the big highlights. So, I'm looking for some lesser known things to do. Also food/drink recs. I may go back to the Bell in Hand...that WAS a pretty cool place.
  23. Stay inside the resorts...
  24. Just saw earlier that the AMEX Plat and Plat Bus were offering 20-25K MR points for adding authorized users (and they each spend $2k in 6 mo). First 3 AUs cost $175. So, for $175 you could get up to 75K MR points. Not saying it's a great offer, but it's an offer...if anyone was looking at adding AUs...
  25. This is a good breakfast. My cousin owns a condo a short walk down the road from this place. He goes there every time he's in town (and so do we).
