    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    JetBlue will put your $5.60 taxes into a travel bank though. They do not refund that part. Which is super frustrating.

    Best Shrimp and Grits

    I had this meal at the Boathouse at brunch in January and it was extremely disappointing. The shrimp were tiny. Would not recommend at all.

    DDP Experiences 2024

    Has anyone used a quick service credit at la cantina de San angel? In the before times, they didn’t include all the margarita options if you were using the dining plan. Just wondering if that’s still the case.

    For transfer- questions to ask references

    Any transfer I’ve received I’ve had to send the money before we got on the 3 way call with MS, so I u set stand the worry. I worked with people who had history in the Facebook groups I’m in so I didn’t have any references to question. Basically they had a good reputation in the groups already...

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Book any refundable travel for $300. I usually do a Disney room only reservation far into the future. It should post quickly along with the travel credit. Then call and downgrade the card. My husbands fee hit Nov 1 and we just called yesterday to downgrade and the annual fee credited today. So...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I know I’ve used VGC for Geico before, not MGV but I’f imagine it would work the same. I think it maxed out at 5 though. Then it wouldn’t let me add any new cards, even any other credit cards, and I had to pay the balance with Apple Pay. I believe direct debit from bank account was another...

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    My husband applied yesterday for venture X and it said it would be delivered in approx 3 business days. So I’m guessing this particular card is an auto expedite like the sapphires.

    Upgrades at the Westin?

    We’ve stayed at the Westin a bunch and here have been our experiences: July 3, 2022 titanium status, 5 nights booked on points. Used 5 SNA and got upgraded to 1-bedroom park view suite with balcony via SNA request which processed a few days prior to arrival. This was amazing and totally spoiled...

    Compression socks in the parks

    My husband wears them otherwise he gets the dreaded Disney rash. We try to avoid summer but have done some trips in those super hot and humid times. It’s worth it for him since the rash can get really bad. He definitely feels the heat but the trade off is worth it for him. The brand he wears are...

    Purchased points and cancelling room

    Oh make sure whatever you’re booking to cancel is further out than 31 days otherwise they’ll go into holding

    Purchased points and cancelling room

    Yes that’s exactly what I did. I think technically they will only let you buy them to book a reservation. Can’t just buy them to let them “sit”. But it’s silly because once you cancel, they still “sit” until you apply them to another reservation anyway. Years ago, OTU points didn’t show up...

    Purchased points and cancelling room

    I just bought some yesterday fully knowing I was going to cancel and then reallocate the points to a reservation I already had which was made inside 7 months. I don’t think they show up on the dashboard, but I could be wrong because I never looked at my dashboard after I did the cancel before...

    Availability Weirdness

    Just as a data point, I’m currently walking a value akv studio and I didn’t run into any block. Mine was 6 days long, now 7 that we’re beyond the super high point time. You definitely risk not being able to move your walk forward if you have less days as 3-4 can be blanked out on the calendar at...

    Dec Use Year Question

    I know this won’t affect everyone, but if you think you may need to walk your reservation, it can be helpful to have that Aug use year for an Oct trip. Our use year is Oct and we normally travel in Oct or early Nov. Trying to get into a BWV standard studio can be challenging when we don’t have...
