The Deuce: I fly out of PHX at least twice a month, and have never had more than a few folks ahead in pre-check

Credit card gamers: Things escalating quickly on the high end credit card wars. - Carl Spackler September 18, 2025, 15:30:34

i'll just stick to my capital one and costco visa* - lcubed September 19, 2025, 8:25:47
I want to switch from legacy sapphire (standard) to Amex, what’s best way to get higesy offer? - FidelGoodell September 19, 2025, 8:24:30
- Check your box Fidel* - Blazer September 22, 2025, 11:31:51
I'm going to start traveling a lot less... what's the best high end card for cash or rewards... - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 7:51:41
- AMEX gold is a great everyday earner with 4x groceries and 4x restaurants - snipes824 September 19, 2025, 8:29:56
  - My wife has the Gold and it definitely is better at churning points - Blazer September 19, 2025, 19:50:33
  - Maybe I'll scale back my AMEX P to AMEX Gold.* - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 8:39:15
    - If you don’t use the lounges, or get real value from at least a few of the perks, gold is actually - snipes824 September 19, 2025, 8:46:01
      - Depending on the airport I'll use the Admirals Club anyway - jfinsocal September 19, 2025, 9:09:32
      - I never have time for the lounges... use occasionally, but not enough to keep paying for it. - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 8:49:04
I'll stick with my Quicksilver and Savor cards from Capitol One* - DanSaint September 19, 2025, 5:36:12
- So that’s in your wallet?* - ATL September 19, 2025, 5:38:09
  - and, no, Samuel L Jackson nor Jennifer Garner pop up to ask me. - DanSaint September 19, 2025, 5:41:01
Pretty steep fee hike - Blazer September 18, 2025, 23:29:18
- For me, the $400 Resy credit easily beats the fee hike. And that’s without the other stuff.* - Carl Spackler September 19, 2025, 8:26:49
  - Where do you guys use Resy? I stopped trying... didn't get any value from that part. - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 8:48:06
    - In Chicago, it’s everywhere. Feels like it’s overtaken OpenTable* - Carl Spackler September 19, 2025, 8:52:47
      - Feel OpenTable is still way more popular.* - gullit September 19, 2025, 9:17:45
        
        I can’t speak for outside of Chicago. - Carl Spackler September 19, 2025, 9:43:15
        
        Gotcha... out here there's basically no value to Resy... guess it's market specific* - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 11:20:52
- Yeah it's a grand a year now... gonna stick another year, and see how it goes... - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 7:54:42
  - Ok, dumb question....what does Clear/Pre-Check do? - ISeeDeadHawkeyes September 19, 2025, 8:04:26
    - Yes, absolutely. We also rarely fly more than twice a year - Blazer September 19, 2025, 18:59:36
    - Clear rarely seems appreciably better or faster than pre-check - snipes824 September 19, 2025, 8:22:03
      - It sure has lately... pre-check has been long lines my last few flights* - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 8:27:48
        
        I fly out of PHX at least twice a month, and have never had more than a few folks ahead in pre-check - General Engineer September 19, 2025, 10:48:12
        
        it's more the way back than the way out, and I also fly out of the same spot. - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 11:20:10
        
        I'm usually ORD on the way back, which is a different story (but still shorter than non-pre-check) - General Engineer September 19, 2025, 11:34:42
        
        My waits rarely exceed 10 minutes - snipes824 September 19, 2025, 8:32:51
        
        Does PHX have the facial recognition pre check? Makes things so fast at ATL. - ATL September 19, 2025, 8:29:37
        
        Clear does... and then when I go to security, it's just facial now in PHX, no ID... - uofi1998 September 19, 2025, 8:37:54
        
        I almost exclusively fly out of OHare, so I assume they'd have the facial technology* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes September 19, 2025, 8:50:50
        
        They do. The issue is that so many people have pre check, there are times when - longsnapper September 19, 2025, 9:15:20
        
        Interesting, thanks - ISeeDeadHawkeyes September 19, 2025, 9:34:53
    - Precheck absolutely is. You don’t have to take stuff out of your bag or take your shoes off - ATL September 19, 2025, 8:18:18
Just another way of stealing from the poor to give to the rich* - longsnapper September 18, 2025, 19:29:13
wtf is resy. Also I think I need to switch from hulu to YTTV* - gvibes September 18, 2025, 17:04:05
- OpenTable for today* - Dilbert September 18, 2025, 17:05:46
I think I need to drop my Amex gold I think. Stick with my Skymiles Reserve to ensure I stay - ATL September 18, 2025, 17:04:00
I’m a sapphire reserve guy but between the YTTV ($300) and resy ($400) credits - snipes824 September 18, 2025, 17:00:33
Hate hate hate the coupon book approach.* - Dilbert September 18, 2025, 16:56:33
- Kinda like it. Even better value for the people that pay attention.* - Carl Spackler September 18, 2025, 17:02:03
  - Sure, if you like being tricked into overspending!* - Dilbert September 18, 2025, 17:05:18
    - Seems like somebody may not trust their spouse to spend the $75 quarterly Lulu credit well* - Carl Spackler September 19, 2025, 7:21:28
      - Honestly, don't think the Mrs. has any lulu - Dilbert September 19, 2025, 9:33:33
Yeah I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing with the Chase Sapphire after its increase - PDO September 18, 2025, 16:16:11
- I was able to get 175K points for the AMEX Platinum so now I have both. - Carl Spackler September 18, 2025, 16:32:25
  - is this a meme? i'm going to yell at a cloud. can you biclops for an old timer?* - Nobster September 18, 2025, 16:51:05
    - Dots - Carl Spackler September 18, 2025, 17:00:57
