It's definitely not worth the $3k over Sliver for me. I think I've been upgraded twice when I had Gold. I'll have to look to see what Silver lacks that Gold has but I don't think it's much. Amex jst offered a platinum card with 150000 MR points after a $15k spend over 3 months. That isn't a problem as I currently generate multiples of that a month. I'd get rid of the gold and take the platinum but I have 10 employees with cards on the gold account and moving them over would be a major PITA.

Disc Golf
Bump because disc golf is awesome. I started playing a little over a month ago. I'm a forehand thrower as I threw frisbee that way for decades. With a frisbee I was a thumb thrower which doesn't translate to disc golf but the throwing motion is similar enough. I conitnue to progress and learn. The biggest thing is getting consistency off the tee. My approach shots are already solid which I almost always throw with a cheetah.

United offered to move me from silver to gold today for the low, low price of $3085. Fuck that. I had gold and it did little to nothing for me.

Best American Songwriter?
Honestly, I'd put him at the top of the list of great American songwriters and was surprised he wasn't mentioned until your post.

French Polynesia (Five Archipelagos) All-Encompassing Thread
We did the same 37 years ago and also had Fiji and Laui on the itinerary. The view from that WWII watching post of the top of the mopuntain on Bora Bora (P P) is epic and may be the single most beautiful view I've seen. Oh, still married to her after 37 years.

French Polynesia (Five Archipelagos) All-Encompassing Thread
We stayed at the Sofitel on Moorea on our honeymoon back in the day. There were no overwater bungalows then so we settled for a bungalow right on the water. It was glorious. We also did a waterfall hike that was really enjoyable.

So it looks like Charles and Carlos are one of the 40% of the drivers in the paddock that get along well.

French Polynesia (Five Archipelagos) All-Encompassing Thread
I was there in 1986 on my honeymoon. Everyone on the island and everyone in French Polynesia called it Bora Bora. Maybe the OP just has shitty hearing. It’s certain that he’s a pretentious ass so at least he has that going for him.

My youngest is 29 and he's an authorized user on the business platinum so he can get his own damned lounge access. 😀

Yeah, it seems like he's getting through a loophole because the new rules are pretty clear. With all due respect to Ag it pisses me off to no end when I go into a lounge for peace and quiet and someones kids are there misbehaving because daddy has a credit card.

I've been watching Gangs of London. I'm enjoying it but I am a sucker for gratuitous violence.

Nice. Is your wife a cardholder on your account? If she is she does not count as a guest.

Just got back from Isla Mujeres
We have beren twice during Carnival which coincides with Fat Tuesday and the beginning of Mardi Gras. IMO, there is no better time to go to Isla Mujeres. Every night is a party and a celebration that week. This year Fat Tuesday is on February 22nd.

Verstappen was on much fresher tires. No. On equal tires Hamilton holds the lead.

Yeah, I've been on the Iberia Avios train for a while now. Great redemptions and especially so if you can fly off-peak.
