News and notes from around the interweb:
- Sheraton Guam is leaving Marriott and rebranding as the RIHGA Royal Laguna Guam Resort April 22, 2022. The Sheraton website is selling stays through the night of April 20th, but doesn’t appear to indicate that the property is leaving the chain. I’ve asked how award nights are being accommodated for stays after that.
- Another case of AAdvantage eShopping taking miles back from customers who followed the rules, here’s why I predicted we’d see more of this.
- First true (non-experimental) type certificate issued for a commercial drone
- Southwest has gotten smaller in Atlanta since acquiring AirTran they left Newark but did get valuable gates and slots in the Northeast, but they never did make a go of the major hub they acquired in that deal.
- Pretty cool, but if you don’t think so you’re stuck listening to it with nowhere to go inside a metal tube.
We had an opera singer singing to all of us on this @southwestair flight. He is the first officer’s dad. Pretty fun to be in the front row for this! pic.twitter.com/b0W9JY9wL6

Ten years ago, I bought an Apple laptop and got thousands of AA eShopping miles. But within the 14 day return/exchange window, I noticed a defect, and went back to the store for an exchange. AA eShopping clawed back my miles and wouldn’t budge even after I showed them my receipt proving I exchanged (not returned) the original purchase. AA eShopping is obviously run by rusty kuntz.
Cartera is a garbage company that will continue to stiff people until a class action lawsuit inevitably happens.
Yup, AA clawed back my miles for signing up for Babyist because I unsubscribed to the newsletter.
Bad shopping portal!
I had my points stolen from me on Thrive membership sign-up. I’ve never had a Thrive membership before and am a new customer so I should have qualified. The only thing I can think of is that my boyfriend has a membership and we live together, but I’m a completely separate individual!
AA clawed back my Babyist miles and I didn’t unsubscribe and had no intention to. I haven’t seen anything lately so I think they unsubscribed me. Good job babyist. You’re the last people I’d give my business to. Mission accomplished
AAdvantage needs to watch who they do business with …. People will be ticked with AA and not Cartera who runs this site and lets their customers get away with cr&p like this. I’m certainly not crying because Verizon got a big bill because they made and offer and they’ve got buys regret.
Oooooooo… AA is shaking I. Their boots… More of their undesirable customers may get upset with them.
What’s that I hear? AA laughing…
