amex charge cards show personal balances, I assume here cap1 would be no different as they report for biz cards.

They show, but they don't impact utilization. They're open credit lines.

Need to meet relationship manager in person? They give $500k+ spending ability? Would these balances also report on personal report, or shows as open credit line like a normal charge card?

Why are all bloggers besides for Dan totally clueless? He should at least mentioned real, live TAs who shine when it come to IROPS.

He was likely correct in his statement that you're better off booking direct with the airline than a OTA that you won't be able to easily get ahold of for customer service. There is often little to gain over booking direct with the airline, and only what to lose. If you want any semblance of customer service, a TA that you can personally connect to is better than a generic OTA or booking direct, usually.

I keep it in the foil it came in, in the envelope it came in, in a drawer in my house. I haven't found it necessary to carry around.

Amazing Deal. Thanks OP! If this hits DDMS, we're all doomed.

It was on SD already, which is worse.

That must be a night surcharge or some other kind of surcharge.

It's a פרייאר surcharge. If you confront the manager or employee they'll say להד'ם.

Well, whenever asked I tell people that I can’t be relied upon for smartphone photography or videography.

I thought I would shoot a short video as I begin fueling, but what I got is the photo burst attached.

ירבה כזאת בישראל.

(To be fair, 90% of the time is like that. The minority of the time when it jumps 5₪ or 10₪+ immediately seems to irk me, though.)

Maybe it’s because it’s a Shomer Shabbos gas station. I go out of my way to try and use Shomer Shabbos stations in Israel.

Taken this afternoon at one of the closest gas stations to LLBG (right next to the runway. Many people were congregated there when Air Force One landed in TLV.

Now put in a milliliter and see if it jumps... Lol.

Someone is living in la la land

The chassidishe women who aren't driving due to it being anathema to societal norms generally don't have smartphones either, if I'm not mistaken.

Instead of trying to defect the question just say you don't disagree and be done with it.

Screenshots mean little but I didn't doubt you got charged, I left that out of my quote.
