Re: Vancouver Master Thread
Are either Vancouver/Whistler or Banff/Jasper good trips if bringing a 1 year old along? I haven't read up on them, so just looking for a general consensus - are these places mostly nature hikes (seems that way from TR pics)?Vancouver/Whistler is definitely more kid friendly, than Banff/Jasper. That being said I have done both with kids and we had a great time. June 05, 2018, 02:41:24 PM |

Re: Destinations with Shuls/Chabads near Points Hotels
I think most people would hold of your definition. You can write the definition in a footnote+1 I have like 3-4 questions that I ask before, basically lights in staircase, access to staircase without needing a key card to get in and out, motion sensors in the room, manual door to lobby. Ironically whenever making these calls, it always occurs to me that a terrorist would ask very similar questions.....

Re: Amex Offers Discussion Thread
Last round of offers I used 3 laptops and 2 tablets to try and keep things organized. The issue for me is at a certain point the effort vs reward ratio doesn't cut it anymore. Unfortunately, that is the exact outcome Amex is hoping for, and I can't imagine I'm alone on this.

Re: AMEX CLAWING BACK AMEX OFFERS CREDITS!!
I for one did not hit hard, as you know many have 99+AU's I only have immediate family with same address, When i got the credit back it was for a mistake they did, I ended up talking to a supervisor in a dept. I never heard before, can't remember the name, I asked too many questions to understand the new Amex offers, in brief his answer was 1 per card member, not per SSN, for e.g if i had an offer on all my cards, as the primary holder, that once i used that offer on one card, that is the only allowed credit, if i used it on more cards, no credit or reverse charges, and as long as I as the primary used a certain offer, then all AU,s are not eligible for credit. So AU's are no longer useful.Thanks for sharing that. At this point im not sure if its a case of DROPR or not. Even their updated terms indicate that its limited to one per card member. Based on their terms it would be a very difficult argument to make that the primary automatically disqualifies all AU's just because the primary got the offer already...

Re: Seasons supermarkets files for bankruptcy

Re: Amex Offers Discussion Thread
I've been able to save multiple offers to different cards under same SSN/login last few months. Worked with staples, lowes, and best buy a month back. Use my phone and pc and add offers at the same time. I added the staples and lowes offers to my au account under different login. Should I be worried about clawbacks if I use the offer on the au account as well since the transactions show up under the main account?It was a problem for some last time. You should be able to easily fight it with Amex though, as it is one per person. January 16, 2019, 03:12:43 PM |

Re: PSA: Don't swipe recklessly for others
They weren’t a buying group. They actually had very competent buyers, and the underlying fundamentals of their initial products was very promising. HNWI’s (Lakewood standards) were the first round of investors, and they did very competent due diligence. However, the market saturation point for that set of products was pretty narrow, הן מצד the suppliers, and הן מצד, the actual demand. Also, it was very labor intensive to turn around, and the “warehouse” was run pretty inefficiently, which increased overhead (the attitude was we’ll hire until we get the guy who can do it. Now imagine the HR mess).It’s good they had a hetter Iska. Could you imagine if they stole the money without that?

Kicked Out Of Centurion Lounge In LAS For Eating Kosher Sandwich
Just wanted to hear some thoughts about this... Here is the story in a nutshell: I was at the Centurion Lounge @ LAS last week and it was extremely overcrowded. Like I have done many times before I got myself a drink from the bar, and took out my kosher Sub. 2 minutes in a security officer comes over to me and says no outside food allowed, and if I want to eat my sandwich I would have to eat it outside. He says we serve food right over there, to which I responded that there are no kosher options available. He says again policy is no outside food, I said ok, but I never knew that that was the policy and there is no sign stating that, he just ignored me and walked away. Considering at this point I was 2/3 done, I just finished my sandwich. My reasoning was that he didn't bother responding to me, then I don't have to make myself too crazy. Either way he doubled back 10 seconds later to see if I listened. I was eating my last bite then. He disappeared into the back , and came back with the club manger. Manager says I gotta ask you to leave. I am like its fine I am done. He says no you violated club policy so you must leave the club now. He starts picking up my knapsack. I said lets call cardmember services, since I pay $550 a year for the privilege of coming to these clubs. Then I asked his name which he refused to give. After dialing Amex he says you need to leave to make that call, and continues to walk with my backpack to the door. I calmly responded that I didn't think he was being fair, and that I tried having a conversation with the security guy, and he just walked away. I also pointed out that if he was confident in his decision, he should have no problem giving his name, as he is just enforcing Amex policy. His response was don't make me call airport security and forcibly remove you... Having images of Dr Dao in my mind I obediently left. Keep in mind I did not raise my voice once, and all questions were asked in a polite calm tone. I was looking for clarification as I honestly had no clue that was the policy. I have eaten many sandwiches in clubs around the world, and was never told anything. In a perfect world should I have stopped eating the sandwich? Yes, however IMO these guys were on a major power trip, trying to empty an overflowing club. What do you guys think? March 28, 2019, 10:51:01 AM |

Re: Kicked Out Of Centurion Lounge In LAS For Eating Kosher Sandwich
Easy to say as a spectator after the fact... When a TSA agent tells your wife to take her shaitel off, I doubt your first reaction will be, hey let's record this guy for example...etc.Had that once actually, they did give us the option of a private screening in a side room if she didn't want to remove it in public, which is what we did. ETA: IIRC correctly it was a snood, and since she beeped in the metal detector she was asked to remove it. March 28, 2019, 11:37:35 AM |

Re: Misc Credit Card Questions
Amex doesn't allow their travel credit to be used on seat upgrades. (I wonder if any of their cards do. I'm thinking no, but I'm not sure.) I'm specifically looking for a travel credit that can be applied to seat upgrades (economy to business; business to first, that sort of thing). Thanks for replying.Don’t know where you are getting that from, Amex definitely does give the airline credit for seat upgrades. April 07, 2019, 11:36:56 AM |

Re: Gift Card and gas Promo at Stop & Shop or Giant
So you don't have to use the same ss card when the coupon is redeemed. I thought the coupon has to be matched with ss card.Coupon is generic and can be used on any card. As explained upthread the earning side is unlimited. Redemption as a general rule is limited to 10 total coupons per card (nothing to do with transactions it’s total coupon redemption per card). Getting additional cards will help on the redemption side. Keep in mind that S&S is pretty good at merging accounts. I think I gave you enough to work with. May 09, 2019, 04:02:57 PM |

Re: If You Could Ask AMEX Execs One Question, What Would It Be?
If they can go back to the option of signing up for Amex offers via a link. (Used to have it for SBS back in the day). It makes it a lot easier to add offers you want, and honestly now that they don’t allow more than one offer per card holder/AU, it won’t be abused. No reason to have to run through all your cards multiple times and hope to be targeted. I think that this is something easily implemented and benefits both Amex and the consumer.
