Admin Pam Posted June 18, 2018 Admin Share Posted June 18, 2018 The diabetic meal I pre-ordered for this flight didn't materialize. Looks like I'm having an omelette. I'm not diabetic, I've just read that the special meals can be better so I thought I'd give it a try. AA Customer Relations gave me 5,000 miles for my inconvenience. I had another GF meal not show up on an AA flight. I got 2500 miles from the flight attendant. Plus he plated the cheese tray for me. /sigh, I keep getting screwed on these miles when they forget my meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has gotten 10,000 miles per occurrence (4-5 times) for reporting a broken entertainment screen. The agent who fields the complaint must have quite a bit of autonomy in deciding how to atone for various sins...

mec Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 This Elysian Immortal IPA is a hair skunky. Elysian Immortal is good. Elysian Space Dust is better. Fremont Lush is my favorite at the moment. tried the Space Dust tonight. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cv91915 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Amazing how the "Music Royalty Fee" went up just enough to keep it one penny under $300/year. Yes, I know I can call and get a retention offer. I do every year, and this year will be no different.* I'm so tired of going through this every year. 2018: 2017: * And yes, I know you can call and get even lower pricing for 5-6 month subscriptions but I'm willing to pay a premium to only have to call once every 10-12 months.

I just called and renewed for another year for the same rate as last year... ~$140 for All Access (includes all channels, on demand programming, and streaming), including taxes and fees. After the ~$20 prorated refund for the current term I'm good for another 12 months for $122.59(?). The phone connection to the call center (Philippines?) was awful and I couldn't understand 100% of the numbers she went over, so I'll watch my credit card account to make sure the charge lines up with expectations.

You most likely stream (another “annoying” word) since you don’t drive your vehicles much. I just logged in to my SiriusXM account online and see All Access for $50 for 6 months upgrade now button. It must be for upgrade from Select. My subscription expires end of the month. I will call in and see if they give me the $38.88 for 6 months.

TheVig Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Police visited me this afternoon. Noise complaint. Somebody at the pool was playing Justin Bieber. So I had to do what I had to do. I drowned it out with some Queen and some Iron Maiden sprinkled in. Good news is the police understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv91915 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 USPS has done it again. Shipment of food-grade ascorbic acid ordered from eBay is nowhere to be found, despite the tracking info showing the item was delivered yesterday. My guess is it will show up today. What a great system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVig Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 All I wanted was some coffee, then continue on with my day. EMO boy working the register, told me that Amex users were part of the problem. He was escorted out the door to enjoy July 4th unemployed. Apparently sensitivity training regarding credit cards, was not part of the nationwide training shutdown the other month. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great system. Sounds like what happens to DW on a recurring basis with Amazon. I can tell because she has her nose in her phone, then goes to the door, then goes back to the phone. Then gets in a snit that something was just marked as delivered but its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cv91915 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm really annoyed with how my Apple calendar is automatically updated (and not updated) with travel plans from email confirmations I receive. I just started hyperventilating over a reminder that just popped up for a hotel stay in Boston that starts tomorrow. We aren't checking in until Saturday. The reminder is for our original reservation, which I modified because we are staying at TAD's conference hotel tomorrow night since he'd already paid for it.

When I make an appointment it will set the reminder, but if the meeting changes by me or by the organizer it updates on my desktop Outlook but not on the iOS Outlook.
