I booked a Shabbat at the Stamford Crowne Plaza for the last weekend in April. I did this yesterday, but when I look now, there are no more points breaks available. They have regular reward nights, but not points breaks. Sad.Usually points breaks sell out within a couple hours for good properties....
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for availability.. there are some great hotel choices this time around.Agree!
Anyone have success booking yet? Thought it would be available at noon todayNo success for me...
No but you might be the only one that thinks they are foolproof.How so?
Of course anything can be found out with enough time and effort, but that's under the assumption that serious time and effort is spent investigating people's claims to the CB. I think feds got bigger fish to fry.
Keep living in your fantasy world. Yep, an anonymous user name can in no way be easily tied back to you by anyone with a modicum of computer skills. And the feds have no computer skills!OK, guess I'm the only one that uses a proxy here. Lol.
I'm in Saigon/HCMC right now.Omg... "Young girls for boom boom"
For US citizens, you need an invitation/approval letter that can be arranged through online resources. I used http://www.vietnamvisa.govt.vn/. The fee was $17. In 48 hours they send you an approval letter. Then you need the following:
1. Completely written Entry Applicant Form - download link for blank form: https://vietnamvisa.govt.vn/form-on-arrival.pdf
2. Passport photos x2. 4 cm x 6 cm (one photo on the Entry Applicant Form and the other separate ) (They tell you to bring 2, but I only needed 1.
3. Printed Visa Approval Letter with full pages (no colored print required)
4. Stamp fee travelers will pay IN CASH at Vietnam airport in USD or VND:
1. 01 month or 03 month single entry: US$.25.00 / 01 applicant;
2. 01 month or 03 month multiple entry: US$.50.00 / 01 applicant;
3. 01 YEAR multiple entry: US$.135.00 / 01 applicant.
Upon arrival you will find the "Landing Visa" counter by passport control. You turn in the required docs and they call you back 5-10 minutes later. Pay the fee and get your passort back with visa enclosed.
Taxi from SGN to District 1 is $15 flat (was no option to use the meter)
Le Méridien is brand new and nice - 10K spg/night
Sheraton is older/run down - 10K spg/night
Grand Hyatt - didn't stay, walked by it today, it looks nicer than either SPG option but looks could be deceiving
Taxi around HCMC is cheap.
The exchange rate is hard to wrap your head around. $1 is 22,600 Dong. I don't know why they dont shave three digits off. It's cool to get your bank statement though and have 6 billion in that checking account.
Really good local food can be found for cheap (although no one here but me cares about that) Interesting trying Saigon pho as opposed to Hanoi pho.
I took a Vespa Adventure tour one night. Everyone had a lot of fun. (60 ish Polish/German couple, 30 ish Canadian couple, 25 ish girls from Melbourne). 3 bars and 2 restaurants were visited in 4.5 hours. $95.
Weather in January is 30C day/25C night. Humidity isn't bad.
People are friendly, air is clean, streets are relatively clean. Definitely safe. I'd have no problem coming with my wife and toddler and taking taxis, walking the streets etc. Only hassle I've had is some guy trying to take me to some "young girls for boom boom".
at least makes for hilarious story
make sure you explicitly say on this public, googleable forum what fraud you will commit. might as well make it easier for the authoritiesBecause they search DDF forums and know who I am based on my user ID?! Paranoid much. Lol.
There's a thread for this. I'm surprised. U don't look like a noob
Unauthorized. Victim of identity theftThat's rough
Yes you can have some removed but you would have to lie.Lie? And say what?
I don't sweat it and just churn away. My CR is long and thick. I don't even worry about maxing cards out at 100%.What about chase A/A?
