I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Drive by post to say how pumped I am that Verizon is giving me a year of Disney+ free! I didn't do the deal most here did a few weeks ago. It worked out for once! The news came out last week and I just happened upon it! https://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-offering-customers-free-year-of-disney-plus-details-2019-10

Shoot, no longer available?

How do you screw up eggs?!!

It's a nutrient deficiency, they are probably trying to save some $ on their bottom line by scrimping on the supplements or the quality of the feed. That's sad and pathetic. That combined with the other comments about their recent decline in food quality is a telling sign in Target's strategy/business plan in their food division at least.

That’s just how their search works. Just make sure you aren’t buying any promo tickets that have a date restriction. Also - be aware you’re getting WILL CALL tickets and will need to present a credit card with a matching last name to pick them up. They don’t make that clear ANYWHERE until after you’ve picked up the tickets.

thanks for the heads up!

Plane was cold but I got decent sleep. Now if we could just get to our gate so I can warm up.

Yeah we don't get it until Disney+ launches next month. I guess we go to Verizon's website that day to sign up.

I've definitely seen some from the west coast, but not many from the east coast. Considering I paid $900 for a flight from ORF to HNL 7 years ago, I'd jump at $380 if I was planning a trip for this year!

I'm seeing some jaw dropping deals to Sydney,AU..... AA experts.... booking tips? I don't mind east coast- west,and then to Sydney overnight if I could get a night in at lax to sleep in between..... but I see for 33k AA (!!!!!) I can do that, except no night in between to sleep. If I look at multi city, the price jumps fro 12k+ 40k for the same route...... any ideas or thoughts?

Is Toby Tarley a Havanese? He's beautiful. Enjoy your new addition.

Hello there, fellow Havanese lover. Yes.. he is every bit a loving, loyal, funny, sweet, smooshy Havanese through and through. I really forgot how much energy it takes raising a new puppy! Speaking of which...

Congratulations @Haley R - I am so delighted for you! ps... babies and puppies are my thing.;-)

Southwest flights are LIVE!!!!!

Booked our flight to California for summer vacation. Woo hoo. Only 1 nonstop to Burbank, we’re on it.
Woke up to book and it’s snowing.

Crazy ME experience. Got the bus all to myself, VIP but then the bus shut down right outside the airport. The driver got it going again but it wasn't right so he asked for somone coming by to stop and get me from where he'd pulled over. The next bus stopped so I'm back with the peasants. No idea where this bus is going.

I'm glad there wasn't anyone else on the bus to complain about it all though. I can see the thread about it already if there had been.

Hah! Exact same here, booked the only nonstop to MCO (Was actually the cheapest of ALL the flights) and its about to snow...

Once I got done booking the flight for DW and myself I went back and moved 10k more points from Chase and booked DD a flight being the ONLY nonstop and cheapest of the day I am somewhat worried it will sell out before the CP arrives Jan/Feb. Funny when booking a minor I had to give them my conf number to prove someone over 18 would be on the flight, it would not find it at first since I JUST made it. LOL.

Forgot to go back and quote this from the news and rumors yesterday since I hadn't seen it mentioned unless I missed it.

Three new designs and the return of an older design are now available for Disney Visa cardholders. The vintage Mickey card design has returned along with the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, and characters from the Toy Story movies. Sorcerer Mickey is no longer available.

Shout out to @SouthFayetteFan for reminding me where to find the Southwest booking tips on Dischurners. I was able to book my home airport during spring break. Flights were a little high but at least not $500 each way or sold out which I’m sure they will be at soon. Thanks again! I’m so excited!!

In the midst of all the general chatter, I think my credit card related post got lost? I am wondering if I could get some feedback on experiences with Citi. I am looking to apply my husband for one of their cards in the next month or two. It is a targeted offer that we got in the mail. Neither of us has any Citi cards yet. He has a credit score of 780. Here is his credit history:

Bank of America BankAmericard - 01/2018
Chase Ink Cash - 03/2018
Chase IHG - 03/2018
Chase Ink Unlimited - 2/2019
American Express Bonvoy Business - 10/19

Any feedback is really appreciated. Thanks!

WOW. that was PAINFUL. just WOW. I expected the SWA release to be a zoo but this was NUTS.I logged on just as they opened, maybe 7:05 am(?) and saw a flight I wanted at around 15k (!!! highway robbery!) called my Dsis and warned her to jump.... she tried (with squalling newborn at her side) and got 1 flight, then they started rising..... every time she got one in her cart, by the time she hit confirm it was repriced. I logged in for her to snag one last flight before she ran out of points (I warned them this was going to happen) and they ended up paying $800 for two seats (!!!!!) so...... I also had to hastily transfer a chunk of UR to my SWA b/c I was running low.... by the time I grabbed my last seat (on a different flight!) it had jumped from 15 to over 35k per seat within moments.....
That was like the running of the bulls! Now I'm going to hear endless complaints about prices. I'll just have to be fierce and tell them all I tried to prepare them for this.
I hate spring break. I love my family but hate spring break.

1st stop and my rooms ready!

I am somewhere between Savannah and Jacksonville, just got up from a very peaceful sleep. Train is a bit late, about an hour, but hopefully we'll catch up a bit.

For long distance Amtrak riders, the food service has changed drastically on many of the Eastern trains. Just a few entrees available now that are heat-and-eat. Some of the pictures I've seen looked really unappealing, yikes. I passed on dinner last night. Breakfast is now continental style and was fine. They had sausage, egg, and cheese English muffins, yogurt, fruit cups, oatmeal, cereal, Kind bars, muffins, and bananas. That's actually probably an improvement over the old breakfast unless you really liked eating pancakes on the train.

Looking forward to stretching my legs at Jacksonville in about an hour. Hoping our DVC room at Poly is ready when I get there - I'd like to get in one more run before the races this weekend and before DW arrives tonight.

I could not love this ANY more and you made my night too. Hello all you lovely Budget Board people. @DeborahU and her Hawaii magic just pulled me back out of lurkdom. So nice to see you all again. I've been busy with a new addition to our family. This is Toby Tarley. How is everybody?

What a cutie! Our Havanese is a little older, but with similar coloring. They are SUCH sweet dogs!

1st stop and my rooms ready!

So, off to the parks? <g>. If all continues to go well I'll be at BCV Sunday afternoon. Then moving over to BWV Tuesday. Actually forgot I'd booked a split stay for the first segment of my trip.

Glad you are enjoying the ride. I read a horrible review not too long ago on the Amtrak food. I was hoping it was just one person venting a personal gripe.
