    The buses to the hotels run a route to most all of the hotels. Different bus numbers for the different hotel circuits (they call them hotel hoppas). For us, the T4 hotel is fine. We originally got onto the Hilton at T4 because there is a direct walkway from the terminal- and our flight was...

    I just looked and don't see an adjustment for last year. I can't imagine I didn't call, though- but don't recall any details of what may have been said.

    Wanted to give you a heads up. My AF for CSR came due- called and gave them the sob story about the fee increasing. They gave me a $150.00 statement credit. He did recognize me as a private client, so don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. Anyways, just sharing for anyone keeping...

    Good to know- going to log on now and see if I got as lucky as you.

    We have stayed at the Hilton T4 many times- and we love that hotel. We have never stayed at the T5- pretty far away. I would highly recommend the T4 Hilton if you are a Diamond and can get lounge access- one of the better lounges as far as quality of offerings across all the Hiltons we have...

    When is a good time to call Disney?

    This is what I did after finding out that getting a callback was an option- because the call back option isn't given every time you call. As the OP mentioned, the waits are terrible- and it seems if the projected time is under two hours they keep you on hold. Again- this is just from experience-...

    Boma and AK

    Depends on how much you value your time in the parks. It's possible- but not practical. By the time you get out of the park, wait for the bus, get to AK, wait to be seated, eat, pay, wait again for another bus, and walk back into the part of the park when you can start experiencing attractions...

    Great info to have since we will be there in a couple of weeks. Was wondering how helpful G+ was in the MK and on what attractions. TIA :)

    I doubt it since it is a loyalty perk. Any time you go through a 3rd party portal loyalty perks rarely apply. But that's the point of loyalty, they aren't going to hand out perks if they have to pay an online travel agency a percentage of the booking- they want people to book through them. Call...

    Resort fees waived on points at Hyatt for all loyalty tiers. Free parking only if Globalist. Hilton waives resort fees, but not parking. Even as a Diamond I can rarely get them to waive it. Doubt it on the free parking at WDW but don't know for certain- someone else will have to address that.

    If it's anything like their planes and their lounge at Heathrow sure it will be amazing.

    We still have money with JP, too- we like our guy and he has done a good job. Based on my previous comments I am sure you can tell I still hold residual resentment for them going back on their initial promises, though- and they probably wouldn't have any of our money if we were looking at a...

    As others have said it will count, but AmEx posts reimbursements pretty quickly. The reimbursement would negate the charge at that point and you would have to make the spend above and beyond this anyways because of the terms wanderlust7 pointed out. Nowadays I always spend around 10-15% over the...

    Thanks for clarifying this for the OP- totally spaced this. And DW just got a CSP after her 4 year wait. Back when Chase Private Client first started none of this crap existed. Every time we went in the bank they wanted to show us new cards- and most of them had a boatload of extra points for...

    First off, 800 is an excellent credit score- it's not low by any stretch. Mine dropped 100 points recently due to closing a card with a long history- but it just bounced back to 830 and that's where I like to keep it. I think 850 is max if I remember right. It sounds like you aren't a hardcore...

    My wife is from Canada, and we have gone up there a lot over the years. She is now a US Citizen, and we just have GE- have had it for years- and never did NEXUS. Getting in and out of the country has never been a big deal, but it takes a bit of time every now and again, and I am sure it would...

    That's the biggie isn't it- the anxiety around it all. We just got our booster, and plan to wear masks whenever possible- but on a trip 3+ weeks long with time on the boat, Disney, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and a lot of hotels- that underlying anxiety will be there. At some point you have to live...

    This will be our first cruise with Viking, so feedback on them will come once we return. We know a lot of experienced cruisers- and one recently went on a cruise with them and said they blew away Celebrity and Crystal- so we are excited to try them. Out of our next 6 already booked cruises- 5...

    Both Sam's and BJs are having a sale on gc's for Black Friday. Raise has 4% off today- but they are sold out of Disney. Before our Disney trips I always amass thousands in Disney gift cards to pay for room, tickets and food. If you do it right and use a shopping portal, you can save between 10...

    We did NCL out of Puerto Rico a few years ago. You have to get yourself to Puerto Rico, but once there it is very shore excursion heavy with almost no sea days as compared to taking a ship from the mainland. We have also stayed on Barbados for a week on a separate trip- hired local drivers to...
