Deals/Deal Requests / Re: Need New Cell Phones

« on: June 08, 2017, 12:03:30 PM »

Thank you!

Can anyone compare the ZTE Axon 7 with the Moto G5 Plus?

I know nothing about the Axon, but would advise against the Moto.  I've purchased 4 Motorola phones (3 G4s and 1 G5 plus) in the last 4 months and they are all faulty in one way or another.  For the G5 (which is less than a month old) texts often don't send and calls just drop.  I don't know how Lenovo managed to put together phones with such good specs that perform so poorly.  FWIW two of the phones are on Verizon and two are on T-Mobile.

Deals/Deal Requests / Saks Off 5th - Two Suits for $200

« on: June 07, 2017, 12:31:24 AM »

I'm really not that savvy when it comes to deals or fashion, so please go easy...

Saks Off 5th has quite a few of their suits (Saks, Lauren, Calvin Klein, etc) on sale for $199.99.  Many of them are also stacking with BOGO for suits.  Going to their BOGO promotion misses a lot of the ones that are eligible - so there's going to be some trial and error here.  (My apologies if this isn't deal-worthy.)

Along with LA, San Diego, Sedona

Yup.  After 6 straight years of the Caribbean (and loved every trip), Zika is sending us to LA this winter.  Obviously we're not the only ones thinking that way.

One way/Round trip: Round
Non-stop/Maximum stops/Any: One
From: JFK
To: TLV
Departure dates: 4/5 late evening, night
Return dates: 4/19 not before 9:30AM
Class: Coach
Seats: 5
Alliance/Airline:  IB - LY

Trying to work out Pesach, LY already looks too expensive on direct, and with a stopover wife will only fly a European carrier (not TK).
So... matrix has IB pricing nicely with reasonable times as follows:  Depart through MAD on IB6252 and IB7866, return through LHR on LY315 and IB4687 but I can't get any website to even show the itinerary.  Any suggestions out there...?

Credit Cards / Re: BOFA Alaska Airlines Visa Master Thread

« on: September 01, 2016, 02:26:55 PM »

just got approved for the alaska 30k +100$ credit, not instant no need for recon, 2 days got auto approved but they gave a platinum plus instead of the signature which defeats the purpose bec you dont get the bonus, so im thinking to recon for the signature shifting existing credit to get the 30k bonus... is that possible  or i lost the signup bonus alreadyany dp?

I got an instant approval with the same problem - approved for Platinum Plus.  Called and was declined by recon, BUT the rep did first say that if I was approved then would be eligible for the signature bonus but it might have to be applied manually.  Hope that helps.

Curious as to why? Is it the Retina display?

Display and speed are the main reasons.  I'm far from a tech geek but the air is supposed to be noticeably slower.

That is a great price for the Air, but committed to the Pro.

I can sell you a brand new unopened one for $1175

I'm hoping for $1100, but also would prefer to purchase with credit card because of extended warranty.  Thanks very much.

Searched and didn't find ant threads like this...

Looking for the basic 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina (MF839LL/A).  Saw it a little while ago for $1,080 but wasn't ready to pull the trigger.  If anyone knows of a good source, let me know.  TIA.

Currently $7.49 for a 16 count on Staples.

Add 3+ of one kind to cart and system will give a $9.99 price and then deduct $2.50 per box.  Maximum total discount is $25 on 10 boxes.
