- Ganesh did not spend a dollar.
Oh, boy, that can definitely cause some trouble. Was your boarding pass added to your mobile wallet?

- I’ve written about and use InKind for discounted restaurant meals, here’s how it works.
They’ve temporarily increased their referral bonus. Through May 3, new members referred by an existing member get $50 (the person making the referral gets $25). So refer a spouse or partner and you’re getting $75 in free food. Free to join if you aren’t already signed up.
In Austin, I eat at The Well, Waterloo Ice House (they have playgrounds), Peaced Tortilla and Bar Peached, Wu Chow, Lao’d Bar and Old Thousand. So it’s very much worth it for me.
You’ll also often see “refer yourself / multiple accounts” discussed, which is of course against inKind’s Terms. Feel free to leave your referral code in the comments.
- What is there even to unpack after a short business trip? Dirty clothes go in the hamper, maybe you’re separating out dry cleaning? Does anyone do this?
Recently met a man whose wife packs his suitcase when he travels.
When he gets home she unpacks it.
This blew my mind.
Began to ask around and this is the majority of my friends.
Unreal level of service!

- Relevant to both biometric boarding and TSA’s move to biometric ID: Facial recognition led to a woman being jailed for 6 months for crimes in a state she’d never visited (WaPo)
- Siete Mexican Wedding Cookies coming to Southwest. This will make many of you happen when you try them.

For Denver, Prost Brewing is the best InKind option. Can just buy $50 of six packs or swag too.
@Andrew Bussa – Can’t speak about InKind, but can speak highly about Prost Brewing.
@Denver Refugee, @Andrew Bussa — I know it’s gone mainstream, but, thank you, Fort Collins, CO, for Fat Tire.
RE: This will make many of you happen when you try them. (?)
Insert Mean Girls reference: “Stop trying to make…”
@1990 – Original Fat Tire? Or “reformulated” Fat Tire?
I hate referral bonuses, since I have no friends. OK, maybe a few, but they already max this stuff out.
My wife is pretty agreeable about helping me when I need it but if I asked her to pack and unpack my suitcase and launder my clothes in the meantime because I was being lazy she would laugh in my face.
@This comes to mind – I’ll be happy to refer you, bud.
@Denver Refugee — Original Amber Ale, not the lighter stuff they released a couple years ago.
Here’s an inking referral code if someone needs one! Thanks in advance for using it

In Orlando near Disney Springs, there’s a couple options that are okay at inKind. Jaleo also participates in the Bilt ecosystem.
My referral: https://app.inkind.com/refer/KL29VTW7
My wife packs for an overnight trip like she is going on the Oregon Trail. I’ll just do it myself and save the cost of a cargo flight.
Obscures gate information? Is this guy for real? Just look on the app for the latest gate. Not to mention the app doesn’t always update if there’s a gate change.
My wife packs my suitcase so that I do not take too much since she will use my suitcase for more of her stuff and especially to make sure she picks what I will wear on the trip. My preference is for the “I just found my way out of the jungle” look.
