One Way Ticket

July 26th, 2016 at 02:20 pm

I just bought our daughter a one way ticket back to her college town. She leaves in about two weeks! So sad to see her go. Although she is super ready to get back to her friends and her routine.

The ticket cost me $250. I wish I could have bought it last week when prices were closer to $190! We just didn't have the dates confirmed at that time. I'll watch and see if it changes in the next 24 hours and attempt to change if it goes lower.

I was attempting to redeem our American Express rewards for gift cards today. I got some message that we need to call to complete order. This is on my husband's account, so I'm going to have to have him call when he is able. Maybe it's because it is for over $500 worth of cards? I did all the extra confirmation to confirm it was us. Who knows! Just a big frustrating. ETA: Well, American Express called us not long after to indicating fraud on the account. Then we called them back, since we don't give personal information when we receive a call like that. But really there was no fraud, they were just making sure the redemption was legit. So all the gift cards are on their way here.

    She's been home since early May, and yes, she's going back a little early to try out for marching band and participate in band camp. She was in the band last year, so I expect she will make it again. Smile

    We're getting geared up for the school year too - The big R weekend welcoming the college kids back with lots of freebies, open houses, and of course getting ready for the major route changes in October! I've got some good overtime coming up in August!
