If you have Marriott Platinum status you get complimentary Silver and can sometimes get upgraded.

Was it upgraded to the first class luggage bin with a couple of the pets on board? .....Too soon??

Probably your fare class.

D1 but you have to sign up for it and boarding pass will say Silver

I think the threshold for upgrade may have been so low I got it simply because I had an account. There were still two open first class seats when we took off

Did you book Y?

You might have status on another airline and they are trying to tempt you.

Does United still have Y-up fares? Does American?

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

American airlines is so dumb. Was trying to purchase MCE seats for a long-haul. You can’t
purchase it online after check-in. And they can’t uncheck you over the phone. Good thing I fly Delta!
