We never fly southwest so whenever these releases come out I just skim through the posts lol

MCO is a hub. That may change for you!!

There are 2 separate bills for cable and mobile.

Yikes! Daughter left for Germany/Munich/the beer thing? what's it called? last night and just for the weekend and I have to pick up kids this afternoon. I was supposed to get them from preschool tomorrow afternoon. Now the question is do I bring them to preschool tomorrow? It will involve 4 actual hours of driving the beltway for me and them. I think not. Play hooky from preschool tomorrow!

For preschool...no way I’d do that driving...definitely vote to play hooky

you are already there. but you can broaden your horizons - sw goes somewhere in the islands or you could come to DMV or NYC for a weekend....or Hawaii

For the Aruba experts, is 3 nights a good amount of time? I can get 3 consecutive nights at the Marriott Renaissance for 35k points each. I have 3 35k certs I can use. The Hyatt is not cooperating at all with points.

Yeah the Hyatt is tough to find availability there. It’s so nice! Never stayed at the Renaissance
But yes 3 nights is good. It’s mostly relaxing - beaches, good food. The flight from BOS is quick and nonstop, so I wouldn’t hesitate for 3 nights. If i had longer flights/ layovers I may hesitate and try for longer.
Do you have Hilton points?? The Hilton Aruba is really nice we are staying there for the second time in February

I'd do it anyway just in case it triggers.

Worth a shot!

AND as I type this, I realize I did not get Xfinity mobile... I got Xfinity Home! I still don't have that, but it says a $39.95 charge so I will make a $45 payment on my cable bill and see what happens!

There may be a workaround when Hyatt isn’t allowing point bookings. If there is a “standard” room availability, I believe you can book it and then call Hyatt and remind them of their rules. https://www.godsavethepoints.com/hack-unlock-hyatt-blackout-dates-using-points/

Possibly lol. We go to Sanford mostly and fly with allegiant

Right now we don’t have any immediate plans to go anywhere. Our main thing is our cruise and then visiting family. Maybe sometime down the road we’ll fly somewhere with southwest out of MCO

It looks like their standard room is a 2 queen/no view. It is coming up unavailable also for most dates.

Unfortunately not nonstop from Pit. I haven't checked our Hilton balance in a while, but I am guessing it is very low. We have been hitting Marriott and Hyatt this year. And I have to be ridiculous and ask, if we do not like the beach will we still enjoy it? I like warm, I do not like beach. lol

 

[mmmears]

experts... say I wanted to fly to London via Airfrance (I think Virgin Atlantic flights) what points could I use for this? I am flush with UR's.... not sure what else would transfer or work here?

I'm back a few pages, so this might already have been answered, but I'll respond just in case. AF is fantastic, because you can move either MRs or URs to their Flying Blue and then book a flight. I don't know anything about flying VA, though, since I haven't had the chance). We used MRs last year and this year, and are using URs next year (ugh the UR stockpile is kind of low now...) Hope this helps.

I think so. The weather is beautiful, friendly people. You could rent a car and find some other things to do for sure!!!

Hilton Tokyo Disneyland is having a flash sale apparently of 40% off today. No idea if this is good but this r/churning user thinks it’s pretty good in this comment.

 

[havaneselover]

OT: Should I buy mechanical breakdown insurance for DD's civic (it's new). Geico is charging $50/year.

 

[AllStarGuard]

Your rewards are based on each purchase. If Disney is 2% for the premier then you will get 2% of $2200 or $44 for that purchase. You will also pay an anual fee of $49, so you will will effectively get nothing for that purchase. I think there isn't any of us on the thread that has this card, except a few that got paid to upgrade for a year. It is not a great card. Are you interested in getting a better card? If so, see information on first page and share what your goals are.

Thanks for the reply! Math was tough yesterday I guess.

The offer popped up for me the other day when booking a room and I had never really looked at it. Not sure what I want to do yet. We typically spend about $6k at WDW including AP's, so was looking at the pros/cons.

 

[brownhaired_girl]

I just rebooked our OAK to HNL tickets and got 4400 SW points back to my account (I had rebooked earlier). We have 7 passengers RT MSP to HNL (one CP). Our outgoing flight had to be booked in 2 segments, so a total of 18 flights +3CP flights. Since the original booking, I have rebooked 4-5 times and gotten >60,000 points back to our accounts. I really SW.

 

[3 DD love princesses]

Can I upgrade a CSP to a CSR before it’s been a year? It’s almost a year but DH has travel and the PP with CSR still works at restaurants correct?
