Sounds like a good time. I keep going back and forth on the Great White thing.
Do it. The tourist boats have rock fricking solid open topped cages that hang from the side of the boat. As long as you don't do something stupid like stick your hands out of the cage, you're fine. I've been a lot of places and done a lot of things, but nothing makes people's jaw drop like telling them I've been cage diving with great whites. And while that shouldn't really matter, we all know it kind of matters

Oh for sure. We all want to have the best stories. I'll admit it.
I've always wondered why they make the "viewing" opening as big as they do on the cages when I watch videos. Seems they could be just as functional being a little smaller. Seems like the jaws can get in there pretty far sometimes...or a smaller shark.

Most of the ones I saw around Cape Town look roughly like this: LINK

If you're a Caribbean guy you could save avios for those 10K one ways to the isles.
I save mine for one day going to Easter Island. Maybe one day that day will come.
Either way, I wouldn't throw them away just yet. Practically one of the only currencies still good for distance based.

I ended up burning them. I figure with the slowdown in apps from moving to TX and buying a house again, I'm setting myself up for a solid refresh of UR if not Avios if I need them. I still have like 20,000 left, these points just don't go away. My normal spending without even trying too hard generates over 30,000 points a year, and I could be a little better with my Ink card on that front. Plus, with said house getting new floors, stair rails, etc, saving $750 off the hotel is nice. I would book cheaper hotels but the wife works hard and that is what she wants
I'm going to scope out using Korean Air's chart for Africa. Might be able to get seats by battling away from the herd.

Will have the answer for this on the 19th. Billing statement closes and a friend of mine used my old ink referral and received the card. He is entitled to the bonus. Lets see if I get the 10K referral bonus. Thing to note though is that this was a couple of days before the new ink came out.

I'm still missing about 40k in referal bonuses from a CSP

Got my new chase sapphire card. How does the concierge part work? They say you can get concert tickets and dinner reservations. For the dinner part, will they somehow get me a table even if there are no reservations on opentable.com? Otherwise what help is it considering you can get a reservation in less than a minute. I would imagine calling them would take longer.

will say this, over the summer, part of my parents summer europe vacation included a stop in istanbul which ended up becoming a disaster as they landed there the day of the coup. I called chase, and they arranged a a car with a driver, from istanbul to greece for them to get out. I couldn't even get in touch with my parents the phones were not working, i told them the hotel and that was it, they arranged the whole thing and got them out. Pretty cool stuff they can do honestly

Yes. Concerts too when no tix available.

I just used the Visa Infinite travel portal for the Ritz Carlton card and scored two round trip tickets to Miami from Dulles for $192.00 TOTAL after the $100 discount. It was almost a 2 for 1 purchase. Next I'll upgrade the seats to premium economy using the same card and get the travel credit for the upgrade.

Sorry to derail, but quick question. I have gotten some great advice on utilizing points for trips in this thread (Special thanks AmeriKop45), but that was before the travel board was created, and I didn't know if that was the more appropriate place to ask those types of questions.

I'd keep the miles and points questions here. It's more consolidated and helps the new people as well.

You got any good award deals for hotels in New Orleans? I have a 3 night stay coming up and am really not looking to pay $.
I have ~150k UR, 100K MR, 100K marriott pts, 20K SPG.
Prefer Marriott/SPG but at this point anything would work.

Depending on your dates you could look into either SPG or Marriott properties. Remember you can transfer SPG to Marriott 1:3 and vice versa.
