Why get the $50 scgc vs. amex $50 gift card. The amex is slightly more expensive but still a good deal. What am I missing?

Destination Guides And Trip Planning / Re: Kauai, HI Master Thread
« on: April 12, 2015, 02:45:24 AM »I'm trying to figure out why people don't just Priceline the Grand Hyatt Kauai. I imagine those with hopes of getting upgraded to a suite want to stay away from that... but let's say there's no suites available for your dates anyway, is there really any reason NOT to use Name Your Own Price? Even cash & points works out to an equivalent of well over $300; Name Your Own Price can get it for significantly less than that. The GHK appears to be the only 4.5 star property that Priceline has on the island; should be a slam-dunk. Theive stayed in ghk via priceline. But remeber the hotek will also charge you resort fees so figure out how much you are really saving via priceline. No, this hotel will not treat you like garbage. One of the nicest hotels ive stayed at with excellent service.
1) Priceline somehow digging another random "4.5 star property" out of who-knows-where; and
2) The GHK knowing that you're a Priceline cheapo, and treating you like crap.
Any thoughts? I've read through the thread and see it being discussed multiple times, but no real conclusion...

DW and I are not athletes, but I think (read: hope) we're in good shape.
How much time would you say we'd need to do it at a decent pace?
We did secret falls while it was muddy and my wife was pregnant 6 months. We took our time and enjoyed the challenge. It took us an hour to get to the falls and probably 35 minutes to get back down. You must wear tabbies or cheap water shoes. We ate lunch at the falls.

Curious if mokellman did the path and what his thought are (or anyone else who took that path).
Miloli must be done with 4wd, roof off and windows down. It was probably my most adventurous drive ever. Don't go past the picnic tables if the road is wet, you probably will get stuck.

« on: November 29, 2014, 07:56:06 PM »Do I need to do the 10 10.01 10.02 if I swipe the card or only if I put in numbers?I had to becaue the machine kept saying duplicate transactions but it is probably due to being an old machine. You don't have to though.

This is my experience with serve AU
I have multiple AU from multiple siblings. I had to create a new serve account for each subaccount. The serve account username is the one you used when signining up the authorized user. I called serve, they emailed me a link and then they activiated the card.
I tried signing up my serve card for SBS prior to the above and I would get the following message, "Due to some technical problem page can not be displayed."
However, after activiating the AU serve cards, I was able to successfully register them for SBS.
To register all my cards I used firefox with Autofill forms 1.0.2 add on. I put in my information into the add on and then on the SBS page I hit alt+j

« on: October 30, 2014, 12:11:03 PM »So originally this island was the one asking me to come and visit HawaiiBut as I started researching all the attractions I saw that the highlight on this island is the helicopter tour, and as my wife is slightly claustrophobic that didn't look like the best idea so I switched to Maui. Now that the hotel situation on Maui doesn't look too promising I'm considering switching back. Would that be like going to Paris and missing the Eiffel Tower?
Don't know about eiffel tower but you should still consider kauai. It's like botanical gardens on steroids.

"Reload Anywhere (in the US)
I know I’ve answered this before, but I keep getting questions about this. YES, if you (or a friend) buy a temporary card at a participating Target store, you can reload it at any Target store in the US. Note though that some stores in North Carolina seem to be having technical difficulties with both the purchase and reload of cards."
