Amex is definitely an issuer I don't want to get crossways with.

Thanks so much HD for digging this up. Come to think of it, when I had upgraded almost two years ago from Everyday Card to Everyday Preferred I vaguely recall being told basically the same thing by Amex.

DH had his second dose of Pfizer yesterday. Waited 1-1/2 hours after arriving on time for his appointment. Vaccination site is at a high school that just opened back up for in class instruction so it was a cluster. So far DH has experienced just some typical tiredness, slight elevated temperature and sore arm.

I trust the service advisor. He double checks the mechanical work and is extremely popular with his customer base. I am confident the alignment was after the new tires installation.

Yokohama tires from dealership were cheaper than Big O Tires with dealer sale and 10% discount. So, I did not get reamed.

The biggest expense was for the replacement of the cracked front arm bushings which required an alignment afterwards. Yes tires from the dealership. DH said they were a bit on the high side but if I would have had it done elsewhere, I would be paying for alignment twice (once after bushings and once after new tires). The Versa Note has been a good little urban car. I am trying to maintain it so it may last for years.

I realize this thread usually relates to high end luxury cars but this is about my Versa Note which is on the opposite end ;-). Just got through showing some love maintenance to the Note with new front arm bushings with alignment, serpentine belt and four new tires. Cost is right under $1500 at the dealership. I used my new cc with 12 months interest free. So I will be throwing money at that card to pay it off and in the meantime, I am tightening spending to accomplish that.

OMG what a great curmudgeon badger. Hahahahaha!!!!!!

Last summer while visiting my brother in CO it was getting very difficult for me to lift the heavy steel lid to the bear proof trash bin. Having arthritis in my wrist didn't help either. During my most recent visit last month and since doing planks, I took a bag of trash out to the trash bin dreading lifting the lid. I was surprised how effortless it was to lift the lid. Those planks work wonders.

I was just worried it may be perceived by Amex as venturing into the M$ territory that could result in adverse action.

Request them on your next first class flight. ;-}

Smart.

If you were to have a bad reaction it should only last a day or two. You should be fine.

How soon can I downgrade again before pissing off Amex? Doesn't the AF immediately hit the freshly new account? Thanks!

Nah. I appreciate the sentiment.
