I'm staying here right now and the location isn't the most convenient. I really like the Chelsea area and typically stay there when I visit.

For sure, except Austin is a city we would likely visit anyway so it’s not the same as travelling to Michigan just for the game. If the Texas game is worth the cost of the ticket, then It’s definitely an option.
Then definitely come to Austin for the game. The entire state will be divided over it and I can't wait to experience my first one in person.

re: How many times do you stop on a 5 hour drive?
Posted by H2O Tiger on 6/6/25 at 9:51 am
If it's just me, 1. But we have a 1 year old so 5 hours is a 2-3 stop trip now.

Both my wife's parents and my parents were at the hospital when my son was born, and they live 3 and 6 hours away.

As much as I’d love to go to a rivalry game like that. It’s a hard sell to my wife that we can only afford 2 minute noodles the rest of the trip
Texas/Texas A&M may be off the table then.
re: Le Meridien Maldives Attempts to Trick Guests into Cancelling Reservations

I don't disagree, but on the other hand if people intentionally booked this knowing it was likely a screw up does the price really change the fact that they tried to take advantage of the business?
Airlines and hotels make mistakes from time to insanely low pricing. The Le Meridien did this but came out after the fact and instead of cancelling the bookings as they were entitled to within a certain period, they chose to honor it. Marriott corporate may have been involved in that decision and now this seems like the local hotel is trying to find a way out.
These emails went out to people months in advance of their stay with an arbitrary 24 hour window which is the real problem here. LemmyLives nailed it about what the hotel is trying to accomplish.
The hotel said they can reinstate your reservation past the 24 hour limit, but they can't reinstate your rate.
Also, they did this to JT Genter who is one of the most respected travel writers in the business (and his wife is a writer for The Points Guy) and it's already been picked up by One Mile at a Time, myself, and others. There's gonna be a lot of smoke around this which is sure to piss Marriott corporate off.

what is the harm in providing the information they are requesting?
If you don't reply within 24 hours they'll cancel your reservation. This went to people who booked rooms on very low rates that the hotel is trying to claw back.
Plus, this is going out months in advance when some people may not have finalized travel plans.

If anyone booked the mistake rate a few months back check your email ASAP. It looks like the hotel is trying to get people to accidentally cancel these bookings. They're demanding full guest information and flight information within 24 hours or the reservation may be cancelled.

Just book via Marriott/Hilton/etc. and cancel within the window.

I'd drive it but still would prefer my GMC Yukon XL, assuming the 6.2L doesn't grenade itself spontaneously.

How is it falling inline with Sapphire Reserve? Maybe I'm mis reading or missed something. Did they change their lounge access as well?
Falling in line from an annual fee perspective. CSR is a $550 annual fee plus $75 per authorized user. Venture X annual fee is $395 and until this change had no AU fee.

On the boat at the lake or sitting down on an airplane at the beginning of a new trip.

Crowding is hurting the lounge experience across the board. Unfortunately, airlines are now credit card companies who happen to fly airplanes so they are rewarding card spend instead of traveling.
Thankfully, Mrs. H2O has no problem swiping that AmEx to make sure I hit my spend threshold every year.
