Hey Doc,
Bad news for Mobile Passport App.

Ever use the @mobpassport app? Bad news. It shifted to a freemium model. Features such as passport scanning and storage are now premium at $15/year. The free version requires manual passport entry every use.
It now costs nearly as much as Global Entry, which has Precheck #PaxEx
Posting shortly
That PMttP article’s “Six Nights Free” headline is rather clickbaity, considering that Bill got those comp nights after accumulating 45 hours of rated poker play on his M Life account. You can’t just get free M Life nights via status matching alone, which is contrary to what the headline seems to imply…
Agree with Jay. I’d add that free is also inaccurate because of mandatory resort fees which are not waived.
Yup, I rushed to create a Caesars account and status match it from Wyndham only to realize later that there are no “Six Nights Free.”
Well for Caesars you can get 4 nights free at Atlantis just from status matching to Diamond, but that’s Caesars not M Life. The T&C was updated last month to impose a $39/nt resort fee, but there have been reports of this fee being waived if you insist on not using any of the perks that this fee is supposed to cover.
+1 on that. Free nights at casinos comped as a result of many hours of gambling are not free nights. That’s a available at any casino without hotel status matching. Total clickbait there. I stopped reading after a couple of paragraphs and disappointed DoC linked that.
Agreed. B.S. headline by Bill Shuman.
It’s even worse. He keeps mentioning the 17 tier credits at Caesars equaling $0.17 an hour, something that is just a straight up lie!
(you earn at least $1 per hour for playing poker at any Caesars property no matter the tier credits. Big difference between tier and reward credits, and a self-called ‘poker player’ who hasn’t even realized this is just plain clueless)
Happy Sant Jordi, Will and Chuck! Wow Thanks for shoutout! 🙂
My pleasure! =)
Is there an actual pilot strike ongoing in France?
If not, the title shouldn’t imply that.
*Potential* or *Possible* or *Looming* Pilot Strike in France – are all fair.
“France Pilot Strike,” states emphatically that there’s an ongoing pilot strike in France.
