What island was this? Looks great!

St. Thomas (my favorite). It’s from Tree Limin’ zipline overlooking Magens Bay. Serene.

I get the 100MR offer. Was excited to get under 5/24 in oct but I think I may go for this since that card was on my radar for next year. Hmm, what to do, what to do...?

 

[Lain]

I can get this even though I have a vanilla plat open??

Yes. You can open a Schwab Plat while your vanilla Plat is still open. If you applied for the vanilla Plat less than 90 days ago (which I don't think applies to you), Amex will reject the app as a duplicate and you'll just need to call Amex for them to push it through (since it's a different product).

Mine is close to a year old so I’m good there. Thanks for clarifying that. I knew there was something about maybe having to call. I think I may go for this offer. Without a MSR right now anyways. Terrified of a pop up

no dice here on the Schwab Plat... sucks cuz i have a pretty decent size investment with them... like what the heck! lol

Well Amex just bursted my bubble. I didn’t realize I had to log in to be eligible and I’m not. Great balls of Fire

All you BC folks. Should I request any special location for my stay in early November? We are bringing both kids, 6 and 4.

If you want a full balcony, make that your only request. That is what I always ask for.
Otherwise, what view did you book?

Funny, I got this email just a little bit ago:

3 day pass at Steamboat for $199 per person, EXP 8/26/19

P.S. That is a killer price.

Oh wow, thanks! I just texted him to see if 3 days is sufficient. He originally was going to do 5 b/c that was how many the other deal required and our friends are doing 5.
Maybe 3 will work for him.

TAARRGEEE----- nope...
i have several friends that tried also with no success.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

No we aren’t Costco members. I emailed my magical friend and she said they would give $75. Can I do better than that?

We’re just gonna pay it all with gcs. We got them at target for the 5%. You’re right about being past the point where we can cancel. We are positive we are going. I just need to add the gcs to my account when we get home later and pay off the cruise!

I wonder if sams online travel has DCL now and offers anything??

Dang, we went out for a kind of expensive lunch today and I used the wrong card, I need to thin out my wallet, My BCP and Marriot AMex look too much alike. I normally grab the Gold card for dining, but I’m trying to make spend bonus on the Marriott card.

There's also other things to do like tubing which is a blast. Snowmobiling, bumper cars on ice, hot springs in town, those could all be fun for the other days if they don't end up skiing.

SW was dead to me when they cut SFO-SNA.

It looks like I need to now order DS’s school’s swag to wear to his middle school soccer games because isn’t that what moms are supposed to? This school keeps helping more and more with meeting MSRs.

 

[Alexle2007]

@havaneselover Any word on your DS’s application? Good luck with all of paperwork, etc. once he is/was accepted. The list is never ending.

Thank you for asking Not yet and it's doing me in--I've shed a ton of tears over the past couple of weeks. First the psychologist took a week longer than she said to send her report. Then they told me they would accept a teacher recommendation from his math tutor then wouldn't accept it so I had to hunt down one of his middle school teachers. Now they have everything and it has to go to the committee (no clue when that happens). Meanwhile it's fee day on Thursday at our high school.

I really don't want to send a kid with ADHD and reading and math learning disabilities (we just found out about the learning disabilities) to our high school (he'd still need tutors, a coach for his executive functioning deficiencies, an IEP, etc.) but I really don't have any other options if he doesn't get in

Best of luck to him! Did the school give you any type of indication when you were applying? We pretty much knew going in that DS would be accepted based on all of the feedback from the admissions director. I think most of the private schools have acceptance “committees.” I think it is just the admissions director, the school heads and maybe the president reviewing the information. I know DS’s school has a committee also. You got this!

thank you! They didn’t really tell me much. I was told there was a spot in the 9th grade when I initially called three weeks ago. I don’t know what the expectations are at a school for kids with learning disabilities (many of whom have ADHD).
