  1. The Points Guy (google it) has some decent advice. I'm not saying it's the end all be all, but it's good enough to get you started.
  2. I'll definitely look into the Avios deal, but off peak is usually not an option for us. The GF is a teacher so travel is summer and Christmas realistically. And the Christmas trip is one we do every year. BTW, how would I do Avios from TX to the Caribbean? I did remember that AMEX will give me back 35% of my MR points so the trip will only end up costing 169K. I also could have booked it months before and it would have been less too. I just dropped the ball this year.
  3. Please do. I got 2 AA tix from SAT-POP last week for over the Christmas holidays. Used Amex Travel and spent 260K MR points. How can I improve that?
  4. I have NO fucking idea. They apparently just want to keep giving me free points. This is LITERALLY the third one I've been approved for in 2022. That's 420K MR points... I just dropped 260K for 2 plane tickets to the DR over Christmas (should have booked my trip a few months ago because it would have been less than 200K). So, this will help replenish my account. Well...the game may be stupid, but I guess I'll keep playing it. Seems to be more lucrative than Vegas.
  5. That's what **I** said...That's the THIRD one of those they've approved this year - first 2 were 150K, this one was 120K. I have no fucking idea what they're thinking. But, I like the MR points.
  6. BWAHAHAHAHAHA...WTF again. I now am approved for my FOURTH AMEX Platinum Business card with 120K MR points after $15K/3mo spend. I've got some big expenses coming up so this was perfect to knock out about $14K of that... Come next year, I'll start cancelling cards #2 and #3...but until then, gimme free stuff... This was just a card offer on the website.
  7. I'm up in the metroplex for work for a few days. I've had Taco Casa twice...Chiladas AND Frijoles (pour one out for the Pintos and Cheese)... I lived in Weatherford for 20 years and that was our go to. My kids loved it. Missed it when I moved to Corpus.
  8. While I love the Chilada... I do miss the Enchirito. And living in Corpus, there are no Taco Casas. But there IS a Taco Bell right by my work. Of course, Taco Bell brought back the Mexican Pizza and then promptly said they had "supply chain issues" and you couldn't get it.
  9. Anyone know where I could get some here in Corpus? They didn't have any at the HEB on the Bluff when I was there earlier this month...
  10. A guy I work with has been touting them so I did an online order a few weeks ago because he was going by to pick up some stuff and said he'd grab mine. Turns out I was the very first online order because he'd just set up the website. I had to run to downtown to get a car title last week so I stopped by and grabbed some stuff. Owner's a cool dude. I'm getting a free shirt because of the online thing. Food I've eaten so far has been great - I got the bavette and made fajitas and they were awesome..
  11. My gag reflex kicked in about halfway through that video... I'm hoping my excessive drinking will help wipe that memory from my short term memory quickly...
  12. And...it's official... The people at AMEX are on crack. I just received my THIRD 150K MR bonus for my THIRD AMEX Business Platinum Card. Yes, I have all 3 of them open right now. I'll cancel 2 of them after the year anniversary. I used the $400 per card Dell reimbursement this year to get a lot of stuff for my new home office. Plus, the $200 per card in reimbursement for AA spending. And, one of them is getting me $20/month off my phone service. So, It'll cost me less than $100 to have all 3 this year. Maybe less because I think I've used some other benefits I'm not remembering right now... And just this year I've received 300K MR bonus point PLUS the points for spending. I'm not going to have to pay for plane tickets to SXM for the next several years because of this...
  13. Yeah...it was so great. We were driving on a road and got caught behind some guy leading his cows to the dairy... We had to drive at the speed of cow.
  14. Well, to be fair...Lajes is the airport on Terceira. It was a USAF base for a long time. It's actually where my parents met. They were teachers at the DoD school there. Finally got a chance to go there back in 2016 with my Dad. It. Was. Awesome. I'd love to go back.
  15. No...this site has gone far left... I was on Hornfans...then Shaggy....and now Surly...the transformation has been quite obvious. The fact that you don't see it, is interesting...perhaps, you've gone left, too... Guess you're not in Texas, though...
  16. Oh...Well there you go... Six...out of 380,000. Yep. That's definitely NOT what's "de rigueur" in the religious world. Seriously...the people doing that are outliers. BTW...I'm not really familiar with many churches. Oh, and I've been a deist for 20+ years...we don't need no steenking shurshes! And, YES, this website has become quite far left. The fact that you don't realize that may mean you need to leave YOUR left wing bubble. I'm going to stop there so this shit doesn't get CRed though.... So...to get this whole shit back on track...this thread is about INFLATION...so I'm going to get back to that. I actually agree with @Bozo_Casanova about the extra fucking money being dumped into the economy being a large cause of this inflation.
  17. There may be a few nutsos out there saying things like that (like those idiots at Westboro Baptist)...but there's 380k churches in the US...it's not "de rigeur" by ANY means...so, YES, I deny that. And getting out of "my right-wing disinformation hole" is amusing. I'm here on this website that has become quite left wing. I don't post on CR because conservatives can get neg repped to death (well, purgatory) there...But, I browse this site. I listen to the POTUS channel (center left) on Sirius almost exclusively... I watch essentially ZERO news on TV, so can't "Fox News" me. How much do you get out of your hole?
  18. Read the post I was replying to... It was UNELECTED people making decisions.
