W.O.R.M.

The spousal unit does this almost every week. Prep, move to small airtight containers, refrigerate.

I got two offices over. At least 2 walls and about 50 feet as the ghosts travel.

This works great, so far.

This is essentially what I was expecting, except I doubt it will be a "generic American Express Card" as they do not offer such a thing that I am aware of. If you look at their card offerings, the Blue Cash Everyday card is the closest offering, and would not be much of a change at all.

Yeah I mentioned that in another post. I will wait and see what the offer is determine if it's worth it. It will have to be pretty damn good, otherwise there is no way I'd add another Visa.

Interesting. I know that lots of issuers did that around that time.

The platinum card is only good if you use the travel benefits.

You do not have to accept the other card from Costco. Unless the rewards program is lucrative, why would you? We shall see.

From what I have been told from those on the inside Costco was asking for some ridiculous terms.

They can't do it automatically. You still need to accept the new card and agree to the terms & conditions.

I'm having mixed feelings on Costco. This is a pretty terrible move - to take all of your Costco AMEX members and ask them to accept another CC that they may or may not want or need. AMEX card benefits in my personal experience have been superior to most all Visa/MC ones, which is reflected in their higher merchant…

No way I'd leave AMEX. I'm guessing they will put us on their similar Cash Rewards card.

We turned in our G37 with mixed emotions last week. It was powerful, fun, quiet, and reasonably spacious, but it also contained maddening infotainment, shit-piss-poor MPG, and astronomical costs to insure. Our family expanded by 1, and we a very-frequently hauling a +1 grandparent wherever we go, so we sucked it up…

Tip: figure out the local transit situation before going. See if you can take a train/subway/bus from the airport. See where you can get easily from your desired hotel. See how long it will take using the public transit options to get to what you want to do.

No need. This is temporary, you will still have the last laugh.

Passat "slightly more premium feeling" than Sportwagen? huh? Yeah, uh, no. Maybe "slightly more premium feeling" than the MkVI sedan, but the Wag? Really?

I know it's a highly subjective "feel", but I've had tons of wheel time behind both and the Passat even in SEL trim doesn't "feel" as nice as my MkVI Wag nor my…

This. I was pleasantly surprised when I had one as a rental a couple months ago. It's amazing that this same company put out the Cobalt just a few years ago...
