How to buy Disney tickets with Capital One miles, Jamaica resorts offering psychedelic wellness plans, the new St. Regis trying to defraud its elite members for breakfast, Emirates being sued… unscrupulous business class. This week’s Saturday Selection is a weekly roundup of interesting information from the interweb (links to each article are embedded in the title).
Jamaican resort offering cutting-edge ‘wellness’ classes
Omelettes aren’t the only ones with mushrooms Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, Jamaica. This nice-looking Resort Orient offers several different “wellness” amenities, including complimentary yoga, meditation, and an organic garden. His one in class, the Guided Sound Bath, has an interesting optional extension that lets you add chocolate bars. Infused with a local strain of psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms). Psychedelics definitely add to the immersion. One guest said the two hour class was the best eight hours of the entire weekend.
Businessman sues Emirates for bad business class
After a few business class rides, everyone gets a little jaded, numb to the magic of flat seats, and starts comparing the relative pros and cons of amenities, catering, duvet thread count, etc. (“What, Pre-flight champagne?!?”). One Australian man’s frustration deepened. The 20-year-old owner of an energy wholesaler is suing the airline after being disappointed with his business class experience on Emirates. “They advertise this luxury product…and this plane I was on was absolutely nasty.” His plane cost about $3,200, but he told Emirates a few hours is suing for $5,000 in compensation for pain and suffering caused by poor quality front cabin products.
To be honest, I didn’t know which one was worth noting. Emirates is being sued and there is a 20 year old guy who runs an energy trading company and pays Emirates to fly 20-30 times a year.
How to buy Disney tickets with Capital One Miles
Disney has never been cheap, but over the last 10-15 years, it has done more damage to visitors’ wallets. Now a family of four spends an average of $6,000 to $8,000 on a five-night vacation with Mickey and Minnie. There’s a lot of advice out there on how to “hack” the cost of visiting the Magic Kingdom, but Thrifty Traveler details a simple method: using his Capital One miles to pay for tickets. In fact, since you’re just buying your tickets through a provider coded as travel, you can use C1 miles of 1 cent per ticket to wipe out the charges. Some may question the use of miles in exchange for such low value, but it’s still a good reminder that it’s possible in the first place.
St. Regis Chicago Tries to Strip Bonvoy Elite Members of God-Given Breakfast Rights
One of the world’s most labyrinthine organizational flow charts describes which Marriott hotels offer free breakfast to elite members, daily food and beverage credits, and politely tapping the sand. instructed. The ostensible pinnacle of Marriott’s luxury hotels, the St. Regis, should be the free side of Team Bonvoy Breakfast. The newly opened St. Regis Chicago had a different idea.Anthony in the partition seat stayed at the accommodation And I was told that elite members do not have breakfast there because the restaurant is run by a third party (despite the fact that such arrangements are common at many St. Regis locations). . Anthony wasn’t the only elite member to notice, the hotel was flooded with negative reviews (some fake), temporarily dropping the hotel’s TripAdvisor rating below 2 stars. Luckily, the “Bring Back Bonvoy Breakfast” campaign paid off, helping us overcome the complicated legal hurdles involved in ensuring that our on-site restaurants serve eggs to our elite members.
Plastiq was founded in 2012 with the then novel goal of enabling credit card payments for bills that normally wouldn’t (read our full guide here). Its initial brilliance has been eroded over the years as it has raised fees, removed the ability to pay certain vendors and stopped taking Amex.It was due to be purchased this year by the oddly named blank check company Colonnade, but the deal failed in march. And last week, Plastiq announced it would file for bankruptcy in Delaware. This is probably a reorganization rather than a liquidation. Another company plans to buy it and continue the business. Plastiq claims it will not interfere with its operations in the process, but since it is bankrupt, no one will know. I only use it for non-essential bills, but if I was using it to send rent or mortgage checks, it would probably be a short-term investment until things settle down. you will have to find other means.
