What's your favorite Alberta small town to visit and why? by cogitoergodangerous in alberta

The views in Slave Lake and as you enter Peace River are stunning. I live in Southern Alberta so I don't get there much sadly

Is WE the most consistently good album? by Due_Tip_6603 in arcadefire

[–]lampshade732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually love the WE album. Race & Religion is now one of my favourite Arcade Fire songs. I wasn't a fan of the end of an empire tracks until I saw them live in November. Their performance on the b stage was so beautifully done.

Overall I'd say I like Neon Bible and Suburbs more. But I do think the tracks on We are consistently good, and the album should get more credit.

I am really hoping for a second leg of the WE tour. Live in Western Canada but would totally head down to Southern US if they released dates in some of the US areas they missed this fall.

Yeah it was offered by the retention team.

Not sure why they consider it a downgrade. Maybe because it technically has a lower AF if you don't account for the travel credit

Nope just a downgrade. Kept the same card # and everything which is nice.

Does the Marriott bonvoy free certificate typically takes 8-12 weeks to show up after your anniversary date? Or typically sooner?

Anyone else hate the purgatory we're in re. AF's future? by the-boxman in arcadefire

Would really love to see a smaller Canadian/US tour. Dying to see them again.

Would love to see some Canadian dates! I'm in Western Canada, but would fly out to Toronto or Montreal even if they announced a show!

Greener Home Grant - Manual Review by dravetodd in PersonalFinanceCanada

My only suggestion would be email your local MPs office regarding how difficult utilizing the program has been, and copy the generic Canada Greener Homes email on it.

No luck so far. It's my pre assessment thats been flagged for manual review despite it having been uploaded for over a year. The grant has been an administrative nightmare.

I'm struggling with the same thing and not getting any answers. Would really like to get this done and over with now.

All Inclusive for Family of Five by OTFdude in marriott

[–]lampshade732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found any AIs that allow for the cash upgrade? W Costa Rica allows it but it's $200 USD per person per day which is hefty...

Has anyone had any luck adding an "all inclusive add on" at a Marriott property?

I see quite a few hotels on Marriott Bonvoy that don't have the AI add on available for points redemptions, but are available on Redtag with AI packages (eg. JW Marriott Guanacaste, Hacienda Los Cabos, etc.

I flew YYC to LIR for 33k in January this year. When I looked at YYZ to LIR previously it was about 20-30k for Jan-Mar flights

I'm shocked at how much YYZ to LIR on aeroplan has increased for next year. Was hoping to book my parents flights, but Antigua or something might actually be more reasonable.

Is there actually a pool at the new location? I'm confused lol. Like hydrotherapy vibes? Or poolside cafe/bar?
