I would call that a happy accident!

The old Parent Trap is a huge favorite in my house - stuff I didn't get as a kid is so funny now! And I like the new one too. We are enjoying the old movies - some of them are pretty odd, but we liked them as kids and my kids like them now, even though they were dated even when I was a kid...

I would be all over the swinging ferris wheel, but half my family would probably hurl and/or faint, so unless I was on my own, that would be a no-go. Well, half my family might not get on the ride at all, so maybe I would be on my own anyway!

Just gonna say that your Marriott promos are WAY better than mine. I got the 2k points for 2 stays, but then it unlocked 15k points for 6 stays! No way I've got 6 stays between here and the end of the promo period. Also, I haven't seen 2 promos overlap in a while. Now, the Sbux overlapping...

We are enjoying the Mandalorian, but DH and DD are big star wars junkies, so its not surprising. We are enjoying having a whole selection of family friendly movies to choose from on family movie night. Even if we only watch the Mandalorian and one movie a week, its still a decent deal. We...

Good topic! I struggle with this time of year - both of my kids birthdays are right around Christmas, so its really the only time of year we do gifts. We do not shop much in other times of the year (although I will keep my eye open for deals on future Christmas gifts). I am making an effort...

Of course. Now I remember. I think you have to upgrade APs at the park, but can't remember who said that. Or if I'm making it up. I figure we might as well do the upgrade because it won't cost much more than our 3 day park hoppers, and we didn't plan to be back this year, but here we are...

Just bought my USO tickets with UR points for our preChristmas trip :santa: Says I need to pick up my tix at will call - can I do that at our hotel? And I'm planning to convert them to APs - do I need to do that at the park or can I do that at the hotel too?

I have had zero luck getting credit for split shipments - admittedly, I didn't press very hard, but I've always gotten an email back saying there is nothing they can do. I hope you get a different result!

So jealous reading about everyone's fancy ovens. My kitchen needs to be redone, but not as badly as my bathroom needs to be redone, so its going to be a while. Our oven works fine, it just isn't fancy. I would love a convection oven. I might be getting one of those little flip-up ninja...

I do need to go use my gold credit today... might just go for this. I'm sure someone would use the 2 free slices at some point.

But do you have an amex offer to help cover the cost of your tiara for the flight? I mean, if you're up front, you gotta do it right :rotfl: There is that Tiffany offer for extra MRs on some Amexes, or just ask @calypso726 for shopping tips, pretty sure that she and Plane Princess have...

Well, at first that was my plan (and still my preference!) but I'm traveling with others, so this way I can be flexible and offer them a choice (and still use an offer :rotfl: )

100% this. A few years ago I found an Estee Lauder christmas gift set that had a ton of different kinds of products for DD to play with, and I bought her a makeup application instruction book. I'm not a lot of help - I pretty much never wear makeup! She spent some time playing with stuff, and...

I generally don't eat at chain restaurants (I rarely go out to eat, and have a long list of local places I like), so my Amex offers for restaurants often go unused. Traveling for work tomorrow and was checking out options near my hotel. Its relatively close to a mall, so I can choose between...

I kinda feel like FHR rates and Titanium status are a good combination - we've gotten nice suites the 2 times that we've used both together. Or maybe it has been total coincidence, and we've just hit good weekends when the hotels haven't been too full (hence good deals using FHR). I'll be...

My Marriott status may be doing me some good for a change - just got an email that my Suite Night upgrade has been confirmed for my stay at the Liberty in Boston next weekend. Got a 1 bedroom suite - looks pretty swanky. Stay is on Amex points via the Amex FHR program, so for our $265 room...

Havent' used Amex Hotel Collection, but have used Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts. Stay shows up as paid by amex, not by hotel, so no using Amex offers. I have had good luck with getting FHR stays to show up in my Marriott account for credit/status earning purposes, but I'm not sure whether both...

I thought we had agreed that you were letting me tag along on all your trips, so I haven't planned anything else. :rotfl: Fun to hear what everyone else has planned! We have our Austria/Portugal trip in April, a fam wedding in CA in the summer and that's all I've got on the books so far.

Good question. In some cases, people do move their direct deposit around (easier at some workplaces than others). Sometimes banks will treat a "push" transfer from another bank as a direct deposit, and the bonus will credit. This is YMMV - the Doctor of Credit site has some data points...
