Had swa vouchers so used those but our trip is the week before Easter. I buy swa tickets the day they release the flights. So this was higher than I thought. Sad when American and United were cheaper. But vouchers made up for the difference
Haha lucky for him he'll probably get to keep it until I could get another Sapphire bonus. That will be late 2020
They asked if hed been fingerprinted before which tripped him up. I think mainly he was intimidated because it was done by armed men and it was behind a locked metal door and they were very serious about not letting extra people in. Not sure if that's typical of all locationsDid they ask odd questions? (happened to me)
Remember when 2020 sounded so far away...
But seriously if they can do it for $5 how do they get off charging $2400? I hated insurance companies, drug companies, healthcare and I work in healthcare. The makers of Ensure sell the stuff for about $10/6 bottles here. Wholesale cost is about $2/24 bottles. Obscene. Our hospital will sell it to employees for about $2.50/24 bottles. I tell any employees I know that need it to let me know and we will order for them. It’s terrible, and food/nutrition is small, no tiny, potatoes compared to drug companies.
Somehow this seems...ironic...coming from you
Yikes. Didn’t know it was that intense. Hoping it doesn’t freak the heck out of DS. He doesn’t like guns in movies, let alone IRL. Our appointment is March 1.
EDIT: totally misinterpreted this...but I’ll leave the response as I think it’s still worth statingSomehow this seems...ironic...coming from you
You seem to have misspelled “savvy” LOL!!So now I’ve been perusing that useaamiles website.
If I do book DLR next year, we may be spending the last 2 nights at GCH. Damn you people and your perverted redemptions.
I agree. I was poking fun at the fact that you work for a bank. Not at all questioning your motive for helping out here.Emphasis there is “Affiliate” though. IMO these bloggers are hawking affiliate links with sensationalized headlines for cards that aren’t even in the best interest of the customer for their own profit. And so they’ll be resistant to write a blog trying to help fix an issue such as Disney and URs at the risk of upsetting their revenue source (the bank).
I feel like we give people the best advice here regardless of whether a support link is involved. (Next part not directed specifically at any particular person...) If ANYBODY ever feels like somebody on this thread (especially me) is dishing out advice that is not in the best interest of the applicant for the sake of support clicks...call that out immediately
Ooooh yeah totally misread that lol. My bad haha! I’m in such a different banking world that I just don’t remotely identify with consumer related banking lol.
I just thought it was funny. But it totally didn’t cross my mind that you’d read it any other way, and it didn’t cross my mind that you were even remotely like TPG or the other *insert nasty word* out there.
What is the intent of the fingerprint question? Because I have been fingerprinted, multiple times, by multiple agencies...and not for a job.I can't remember where I read it but I knew about the fingerprint question before going in and was prepared with my answer. But my interviewer asked it as "Have you ever been finger printed outside of employment purposes". So that made it easy to say no. Maybe they didn't phrase it the same. I could see a bit of fluster if you didn't know where that was going
So is he all set for Monday? Is he getting extra time in the lounges by breezing through security?
SO different from what we experienced. Yes, we had to go into a locked room separately, with an agent who was armed, but the questions were minimal and very benign. It may have taken all of 10 minutes for both our interviews. I imagine it is dependent on the personality of your interviewer. (Also we are old with nothing more than a parking ticket to our names. Emphasis on the "old" part, not calling anyone criminals here. Lol)
We adopted DS from China and if there was a blemish on our records they would have found it during that process. It was 4 years of fingerprints, interviews, social worker visits, and Homepand Security approvals all notarized by our state and sealed by the Chinese Embassy.
My bad!!
I got the impression it was a way to ask if you had ever been arrested or similar situation rather than for identity or background check purposes. If you had it done unrelated to an employment type positions (paid or not, I know volunteer positions get checked too) you'd just say yes and explain. I'd only had it done for jobs before so I didn't even need to explain.
