Wow! I am so sorry how uniformed so many phone CMs are. You can try booking the 4 and 4 on your own. It will tell you the package time as soon as you click the time. If it isn't what you want you can back out of it before providing CC information, but the time may temporarily disappear from the system.
I've been going through the times all evening. I haven't found a single reservation for anything other than 5pm :( One of the CM's did say, just as you did, that more times may open up so to just check everyday.

Thank you! I had not seen that before but I will look around some more! It's good to know what my "status" (bought and paid for, thankyouverymuch, would get me!
I’m not sure if you will find the same details just clicking around. This is from my account. They call is MyWay Benefits and show my current benefits as Diamond (also bought and paid for ;) ). Some of the benefits you get to pick a preference among a few.
 
Wow 1am ish huh? I'm hoping the savers with be released in a batch at some point. And not at 1am lol. I know a few days ago, I saw savers on multiple days, including days (or a day at least) just past the exact 11 month mark. Thanks for the late night reports while I'm long gone sleeping :)
I see award flights for 8/18 now to LAX. Still no saver fares

SNA has some, but no direct flights after 8/15. It looks like SNA is a little behind LAX with releases

Do people actually get more availability/better fares with a MileagePlus card?

Yes, DH likes this one too! I'm actually looking into both the Palisade and the Telluride. I'll be ready soon. Looks like they are hard to come across so I'm starting now.

We picked up our Telluride this week. The sticker price was $35,755. The car is really nice, seats 7 (we opted for 2 bucket seats in middle row as opposed to 3 seated bench), the car is the SX, has a sunroof, electric everything and has a great warranty. There was a small scratch in the plastic bumper, so we got the car for $34K ($755 off) after the $1K rebate, put $10K down (they let us charge the whole $10K) and we financed the rest at 1.9%APR. I still can't believe they let us charge the whole down payment. We love the car and I feel like we got a great deal. The first dealer we went to said we would have to wait 2-3 months for a car but this dealer had some in (NY VS. NJ, don't know if that had something to do with it). Both dealers told us we would have to pay sticker price, no $$$ off the telluride, only rebate for financing. The Palisade has very good ratings as well. Good Luck!

Yes, that is one of the perks. There are fares available to MP card holders that are not available to non card holders. But even I am not seeing saver fares for the entire month of July or August from NYC area if that is where you are flying out from to go to LAX or SNA. I saw 2 tix LGA-ORD-LAX for $523 which would be 34,867 UR points with a CSR so that's close to a saver.
 
well,that was easy :rotfl2: canceled P2's Bonvoy biz via chat! (a little too easy actually,kind of scary how easy that was...what if I was a stranger looking to get into someones account?) that said,bye-bye bonvoy...every time I cancel what used to be an old SPG product I get a tear of remembrance for all the good times we used to share...:sad:

Thank you I really appreciate this! At least I know I'm not being beaten to them. I will try to be patient but I really thought I was going to be able to book my flights out today! Oh well!
 
Went through and paid all my bills and CCs this morning so I don't have to look at anything next week while I'm on vacation. I see that I met the MSR on DH's Hilton Surpass and his 150k points are now in his account! Looking forward to the FN cert showing up so I can book our Conrad stay.

I also just got off the phone with Amex on a retention offer on keeping my Bonvoy Biz since the AF just hit. They offered me 5k points just for calling in and 10k points if I spend $1000 in the next 90 days. I took that since I have several MSRs going on right now and the $1000 will be easy. Just as an FYI, the rep asked me what my business was. I don't think he was trying to dig into anything, he just seemed like a chatty guy. Of course, when I told him I was a horse groom then he wanted to know what all that involved :rolleyes: I was still on the phone for less than 5 minutes though.

I'm sure I'll be on commenting some more through the day here, but our flight leaves at 11 tomorrow morning and I am hoping for a fairly unplugged week at WDW! I may be on here liking some and everything, but probably won't have much else to contribute.
 
I got Old Navy and Stubhub on our Disney Visa we haven't used in over 2 years.

Same here and I've never used Stubhub. I may go by Old Navy and see if they've got anything I might buy for the grandkids. Otherwise I never shop there.
 
And speaking of the plat, I’m having trouble deciding what to do with it. Anniversary is in October. Not sure whether to close it after separately applying for a BBP to hold the MRs or keep it with thoughts of keeping the RAT happy, getting some support points from it, and using the benefits somehow or another on our Europe trip next May/June. So, I’ve been reading with interest the previous replies to people asking about keeping or closing their Amex cards. Thanks everybody, I’m still not sure but it helps reading the replies.

If you're on the fence, or even if you'll keep the card anyway, I'd always suggest calling into Amex to ask if there's a retention offer. Especially if you don't know if you want to keep the card another year, a retention offer could change the math for you so that it makes sense. When your AF posts in October-ish, let us know and we can go over it again.

Meanwhile, the Plat earns 15k MRs per support click. I believe that Plat is DH's? Self-support is out. Have you considered supporting yourself to any Amex cards from DH's Plat?

Also, I've noticed around the 6 months-1 year mark, Amex starts targeting their charge cards with offers of 10k MR for enrolling in Pay Over Time. Pay Over Time is Amex's way of making their charge cards more like credit cards, where you can pay eligible charges over time so Amex can charge you interest. You should always pay off your statement every month so you don't incur interest, so you can enroll for the 10k MR and never have to use the Pay Over Time feature. DoC maintains a page with links for you to log in and check if your card(s) are eligible:
