CSR is less than a year old, so PC'ing to a CF isn't a current option. It looks like I'm restricted to PayPal with this particular tour company. They're not on the UR portal and we're booking independently. I went back through some earlier bookings for this trip, and I found another operator...

CIP, CSR & a socked away Disney. I'm so glad you posted! This is perfect timing, as I'm finalizing our IT trip plans as we speak (hence the Paypal - tour payment = code as travel question). Thanks for sharing!

Hi gang! I apologize for the drive-by posting, but work has had me swamped, leaving little to no time for my DIS brain break. I know I've missed a ton, but I did read back to see the Disney+ breach :sad2: hitting the news right at the same time our state's systems were subject to a ransomware...

I do know there will be a staging lot for taxis & rideshare drivers, with pickup on Ground Level just outside Baggage Claim. Unless things change drastically, I wouldn't expect an extensive walk to meet either a shuttle or rideshare because the new terminal isn't that much larger than the...

Sorry for the late response. When are you flying into MSY? Spring break IIRC? The new terminals are set to open Nov 6th (after months of delays) and traffic patterns will change. I know someone who drives for Lyft. I’ll try to get details.

Friendly reminder for those of you chasing quarterly rewards that today is October 1st (although it feels more like Jul here w temps still in the 90s 🥵.) Q4 for Discover 5% = Amazon.com, Walmart.com & Target.

Apparently this hobby is impacting my reading habit too. I thought I was on a similar pace as last year, but according to my GoodReads entries I’m actually a few books behind. I’ll blame it on trip research! Rick Steves’ travel books take way longer to read when you’re cross referencing the...

Skimming through about a week’s worth of reading with one eye on the Saints game, I’ve finally been able to almost catch up. (Which means this will probably take me til halftime to post!) MSR Sunday - P1 - halfway through on 3wk old CSR, all organic plus $300 travel credit! P2 - no MSR but...

Nothing like an SEC Saturday tailgate! Proud LSU alum (Geaux Tigahs! 💜💛) but I’ll begrudgingly give Ole Miss credit for their festivities at The Grove. Y’all have fun!

Good Cajun girl here who’s enjoyed at least 8 of those “exotics”. And that’s ok for those of you who don’t enjoy crawfish... more for me! Weighing in on the pop tarts - main breakfast food for a long time in college & grad school. My diet improved with my budget. Toaster strudels were so much...

HS - clarinet in both marching & concert/symphonic band. Some of my best high school memories! Travel was limited to away football games, in-state DCI-style competitions, Mardi Gras parades and band camp! Oh, and one memorable perfomance in the Superdome. LA had the rural exception (14yo) on...

Discover's 5% bonus categories for Q4 have been better. No department stores or wholesale clubs (boo) for 2019. It's going to be Amazon.com, Walmart.com & Target. Also - I need to give a big shout out to those of you on the AA/BA miles vs UR redemption discussion a couple of days ago. I was...

White uniform shirt survivor here! I’ve successfully used both of the above suggestions. Also, give dishwashing liquid (like Dawn) a shot. Apply it directly to the stain, let it sit for a bit & wash as usual. Check before tossing in the dryer so the heat doesn’t set the stain.

I forgot about the WUG crew. We've pretty much sworn off TWC coverage, but those three help provide another perspective on info gleaned from a few weather geeks I follow. My anxiety regarding these storms has only grown as I've aged. During double whammies Katrina-Rita & Gustav-Ike with...

Check your homeowner's policy, you just might have coverage on this loss. Bringing this full circle, saving our freezer contents is one of the main reasons we bought a generator post-Katrina. I did not want to lose 50lbs of shrimp, a quarter of a side of beef, fish, venison & random veggies.

Triple-ditto this!! I know you’re new to hurricane prep, but please talk to your older neighbors for their advice. Stay away from any national weather sites (like TWC) who just sensationalize everything! We joke about Dan Cantore & crew, but they’re just chasing headlines. County emergency...

I knew there was an additional AU fee, but lost my train of thought (interrupted by DS2 and his new college resident needs!) That means a new CSR would "cost" $225 ($450 + $75 - $300 travel credit), effectively cutting the SUB in half. That, combined with delaying CIP2 an additional 30 days...

Thinking out loud here, and I'd appreciate some help. We need to quickly set up DS as an AU for his semester abroad. Option 1 - Add as an AU to P2's Capital One Savor (4x dining, entertainment, 2x grocery, 1x other) Option 2 - P1 currently 0/24, no current MSR, and still approx 10d to go for...

Venice = the NOLA of Europe??? Never thought of it that way! Old, yes. Full of tourists, check. Smelly - that wasn't my impression of Venice in late June, but maybe I've grown "nose blind" to the coastal, water logged musties having grown up among the bayous. It's a little disheartening to...

Had a similar potential fail this week trying to qualify for a new student account bonus for DS. Combo of old email + new email = invalid email. Ugh!! Bank said it should be ok, but I have a feeling DS’s oops is going to cost us.
