    Wells Fargo savings/checking promos - any opinions?

    to each their own. When banks allow easy EFT transfers, it is not a hassle to move funds. We have gotten savings bonuses from Ally, WF, Citizens, Chase (savings and checking), and Marcus. It is NOT a few dollars. I never changed my main checking account, has been PNC for 30+ years, but DH did...

    Wells Fargo savings/checking promos - any opinions?

    I did the WF $525 savings account bonus last year. You had to open the account and within 30 days deposit $25,000 of new to WF money into the account. Could not transfer that much electronically (their rules), so I had to take in a paper check. Even though the money was taken from our Chase...

    Transportation to/from airport from Universal Resort

    It is going to depend on the day and time. In Feb on a Friday afternoon, it was $42 before tip. Going back on a Monday mid-morning it was like 23 before tip> There really is no need to prebook. I think you can book their shuttle without a package? Did you call to ask?

    Wizards and Capitals are staying in DC!

    As a resident of Alexandria, VA, this makes me very happy. Our VA governor was trying to get them to move here, with lots of state and city tax funding for new a stadium with a very dubious financial statement. Most deals where a lot of tax money goes into financing stadiums do not work out well...

    Norton pop-up ads on the DIS

    I can't even open the boards on my iPad because it won't allow pop-up windows. I get an alert every time I click on a page of the dis on my desktop, that my antivirus blocked a pop-up. It stopped for a week and has restarted.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Caymans, Belize, Puerto Rico to name a few. Also Aruba & Turks & Caicos. Some of those locations are a bit limited though, sometimes DH can only fly to/from Washington DC on Saturdays? There's always Hawaii!

    Interesting. Sounds like he's been working on the article for 2 years, I doubt she'll win that lawsuit.

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    I'll throw this out there, as we are airbnb-ers. I like renting apartments, we have airbnb'ed in Budapest, Vienna, Dublin. We stayed in an airbnb in an area not far from the Edgeware Rd tube station (there are actually 2 separate Edgeware stations on different lines), called Hyde Park mansions...

    Ravenclaw Pride Day

    I have always followed the beat of my own drummer, while Luna was different she was certainly very wise in her own way. In previous trips to the parks I admired shirts I saw that weren't available in the Universal stores. Got a couple online - one was a Herbology shirt, the other says 'don't...

    Should I reserve my CB room through Loews or Undercover Tourist?

    Depends on how much luggage. Not that far to walk from CB to RPR.

    Vegan looking for best hotel options for a stay at Universal

    I love credit cards so much! v6.0 - 2023 (see first page for add'l details)

    Ah OK. 2023 is the first time we have gotten Chase 1099s from referrals. I expected one for DH referring me for a marriott card as I had heard they were sending out for support points so I will be unhappy if it comes after I file. I do my own taxes so the corrected forms will be on me.

    Connections anyone? The puzzle…

    I haven't been posting my puzzles, but I sometimes follow along. Yes, I had those words in my puzzle today. I also had breaking yesterday in the olympic sport category. I access the puzzle from my NY Times subscription through Firefox. Weird the colored boxes are there when I hit paste, but...

    Cafe La Bamba ?

    I have eaten there on previous trips; am a fan of their bowls (and sangria). When I went in Feb 2024 it said closed for a VIP event, I am not sure what that was about. I definitely ate there on a previous trip. It's a big restaurant, not sure why a VIP tour would cause it to close?

    park reservations?

    So complicated! DH has one day left on a 10 day non-expiration ticket I bought years ago, so I made him a park reservation on May 2 using that. Then I bought him a 2 day ticket good April 28-May 1. Planning to stop at guest services before entering a park on April 28 to make sure the right...

    Princess Kate Middleton is being treated for cancer

    Could be lots of things - also cervical, uterine, ovarian. Sounds like they caught it early which is good. I had a serious illness when my kids were about the same age. My DS's 3rd grade teacher told me he noticed my DS had become rather withdrawn during my hospitalization. A parent's illness...

    The price will often fluctuate so I do check back frequently. I think the rental needs to be in her name and one of you can definitely be the free additional driver. Not sure about the credit card, I usually go with Alamo and check in online ahead of time so I can skip the line.
