Am I looking at reddit the wrong way? I think I have the new comments link up, but I only see one comment today. I miss all the posts here and if they have migrated I certainly can't seem to find them.
Look I did my best to keep up with that NEWS thread. But I'm TOTALLY not as thorough as you. It has to be pretty big news to hit my radar, LOL!!
That feeling when you see that you have 15 new Amex Offers available...
...and none of them remotely interest you:
Well you'd get $50ish back and then pay $149 in 3-6 months. You get 5,000 URs worth about $75 plus all the other benefits of having that card... You'll get 7,500 points at your anniversary vs. 3,000 (so that's a 4,500 pts difference worth another $67ish).A few quick questions for you now:
1) Did that upgrade come via snail mail, email, or did you see it in the app or somewhere else?
2) What is the upgrade offer? Are there bonus points and is it for a certain MSR or just make 1 purchase?
*DH and I have both had our own SW Plus cards since 2013. Which received all of our spend. Until this thread entered my world
*DH just had SUB post today for CSP (yay) 65k UR.
*So after DH SUB posted he coincidentally received an email today offering 5000RR bonus after 1 purchase if he upgrades his Plus to Priority. It states he would receive a letter in the mail after accepting the offer letting him know about the new AF etc., but no clear indication of when that AF would occur after taking the offer.
My plan was to cancel both our Plus cards next August when our AF hits so we can churn them in the future. I’ll take their 5000RR if I DON’T have to pay the AF before August. If I have to pay it now (or soon) I don’t think 5000RR is worth $149 on a card I don’t intend to keep.
Comments, questions, criticisms?....(as my 12 year old loves to say). Haha
I've never even heard of most of the companies/stores on mine!That feeling when you see that you have 15 new Amex Offers available...

Thank you both for the reminder! Sadly I have not been targeted on my personal Plat yet
Oh my, this trip sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing all of these details. Disneyland Hotel looks beautiful in pictures and considering BC and GF are two of my favorite resorts, I must visit!Brief thoughts on the ABD...
The ABD begins in London and we stayed at The Landmark Hotel. I had several options for our pre-night in London but chose to book and stay at The Landmark so we could receive transportation from ABD from LHR and not have to change hotels. While I understand why ABD uses The Landmark (pool, large-very large really for London-rooms, and across the street from an Underground station), we really were not impressed with their service. Check in was painfully slow and although a room was guaranteed by 3, I had to go up to the desk at 3:30 and request a room assignment-finally being told if we wanted a room I'd have to downgrade from the type I'd prepaid more for. Desperately wanting a shower and to sleep, I agreed. Check out several days later was almost as chaotic-20 minutes to "express" check out. There were several other service issues but I'm trying to stay semi-brief. Needless to say I won't stay with them again in London.
The Paris hotel was the Paris Hilton Opera-it had a very convenient location and the service, in direct contrast to The Landmark, was very good whereas the room was very small (much more consistent with European rooms). My favorite parts of the Paris days included the Chocolate Museum visit, as well as short walking tour of Montmartre and a wine tasting at a local cafe. Both the chocolatier and sommelier were very passionate about their jobs and made excellent presentations. I didn't shop much, but I can't say that for everyone on the Adventure.
DL-Paris was the special add on-we had our guides for the days there as well. The Disneyland Hotel reminded me of both Beach Club and Grand Floridian. Picky folks would note some broken tiles and peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, but I was delighted with beautiful roses- an arrangement in the room and a single (same color) in the bathroom, as well as a bathtub (so missed in Paris) with bath salts. I would definitely return to DL Hotel.
Our private tour with an Imagineer was amazing-despite the cold, the wind, the rain, our group was fascinated by his wonderful presentation for three and 1/2 hours. It was the highlight of the trip and definitely a unique experience. The time with him made the trip, without a doubt!
We also received VIP Fastpasses and were able to use them at the few attractions that accepted FPs. DL Paris is a beautiful park and I would return to it before WDW at this point. The farewell dinner was at Walt's-an intricately designed and decorated restaurant that features different rooms representing the different lands of DL-P.
I surprised myself by enjoying Montmartre more than I expected, and the tour with the Disney Imagineer exceeded my expectations. As always, the ABD was tiring and frankly I'm not sure the format is for me anymore. That said, I'm glad I went. John and Kevin were good hosts and it was nice to meet them and other DIS-ers IRL.
At least it wasn't cash! I tend to do morning flights because I like to tell myself I get delayed less. Who knows if it is actually true. I think I just have a problem and I would be too excited getting somewhere late and not doing something like running into a Disney Park on arrival day.Took advantage of “I still feel resentful it cost me so many ridiculous amount of miles October trip.” Today we had a morning flight instead of our usual late night arrival to WDW. 200,000 SkyMiles to fly in economy. Oh well. I will get over it. I couldn’t use my companion certificates as they were sold out and the cash price was ridiculous.
We checked into AKV and then went to Epcot. (I really want the AP Minnie coasters). My poor Epcot! Construction walls all over. I miss the fountain and the open feeling. I don’t know why they put all the walls up at once and then do nothing. But it was a super fun night and the girls were way happy to be all there together again with just our little family. Last time it was just the five of us was May 2018. For us with AP’s that is a long time!
UGH DIS pop-ups are terrible. I disabled my uBlock Origin for 5 minutes when I needed to use a cash back portal since adding it to the allowed list still didn't let it track and I came back here and could not stand the way the boards looked with the ads. I have become spoiled!
