Vegas

RANT: American Express

We’ve been using American Express instead of a local bank for years. I tried to get some travelers checks for our trip to Vegas. Before, I was able to get them charged to my AMEX card, no fees. They don’t do that anymore–cash, or personal check. So I go home to get a check.

Then, it’s a 2% fee. Ugh. Of couse, the teller informs me, I can get a discount to 1% if I pay cash. Hey, AMEX…I don’t have a local bank! I bank with you! Why no discount for us that can’t get cash except through an ATM? That’s the privilege of American Express.

So, stronger case made for getting a local bank. Crap.

What’s Happening?

It’s been a busy, busy time. We had water damage from the condo above in July, that has taken a long time to rectify. Even now, dealing with insurance payments and the mortgage company. There was Pride, doggie events, work (of course), and any number of other things that have been keeping me busy from posting. Even now, we’re ready for take off to Las Vegas.

So, no promises as to when, but Pride pix are currently being processed. I think I’m on the last half, and after Vegas, should be able to get them uploaded..maybe by end of next week?

Anyways, look for updates soon! And if you don’t see any, just let me know you’re waiting!
