As Rob makes clear, if you travel and use the products as intended, the Amex Plat is worth the yearly fee and more. What Amex needs to desperately do is stop inviting the churner business and get back to making the card more exclusive.

I love them. The problem is knowing how caloric each one is. You can't unsee that. Let's do Olive Garden. Unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. I'll just skip the breadsticks.

Because no matter how pragmatic you think you might be, most human beings fall in love... Or at least lust (and can't differentiate). Time will tell on this one.

Hope for the best 🤞 Expect the worst 👎 We've been down this road before on the board and it rarely ends in a fairytale conclusion.

I wonder if Nick Denton has anything to do with this new Gawker.

It's a whole new career move for me. That, and, as Macklemore's doppelganger to keep the paps at bay.

Wait, did you say...

It's an all or nothing situation. You can easily travel to several great spots (Dominican, Mexico, Canada), but there's always going to be a little inherent risk involved. At the moment, if you want to minimize risk, but get away, I'd suggest Cabo or Cancun. You can hole up in a resort, they'll do your return testing there for you and you can mask up to your comfort level. I'd steer clear of Key West. It's a mess right now, prices are ridiculous and there's a huge contingent of 'freedom fighters' visiting the island who couldn't care less about anything but going to Sloppy Joes and being drunk by 9am.

Yep. Escorts trying to get laid by other escorts (or, 'trade comp sessions' as I've been told).

This has to be for 1-3 star hotels, as higher end properties are not crisis discounting at the moment. Ritz, Four Seasons, Aman, Mandarin Oriental, Park Hyatt, Peninsula, etc are still in the $450+ range in most major cities. Programs like Virtuoso and Amex FHR are offering some nice stay two, get three or stay three, get four and five promos, along with some hefty nightly resort credits. This is in addition to the usual early check-in/late check-out and comp room upgrades.

Can I add something (but veer from the original concept a little...) As an escort, what I'm seriously tired of are other escorts confusing RentMen with Grindr. No bueno. For me, when it goes into that territory, it's an immediate block. I have zero time for that platform.

I remember the first time i went to Tom's. I had never been to a bar with a working dark room and that you have to pass through it to get to the men's room was a nice design touch.

So, you're disagreeing with the CDC and other reputable health sources? https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/science-clear-hiv-undetectable-equals-untransmittable

That was an impressive one-two punch.

Google is amazing, no? https://www.avert.org/living-with-hiv/antiretroviral-treatment/what-does-undetectable-mean#:~:text=An undetectable viral load is,mean your HIV is cured. In a nutshell, undetectable = untransmittable

For a second, I thought how sexy it would be to see Christopher Plummer on RentMen. ... And then I realized he died in February.

The most shocking thing so far in this thread is that Adam4Adam still exists

Your transparency about site stats is refreshing. Well done, sir.

You don't know how hard it is for me to not post a Liza Minnelli GIF right now Must. Show. Restraint.

This is fantastic. I just tweeted about, thanks to you. Great resource.

No doubt, but it's not something they offer to general escorts that they can buy into. The highest level of paid marketing on RM allows escorts to buy monthly banners.

US to MEX: Just a valid passport. You'll fill in a MX landing card when you go through immigration. They'll give you a tear-off slip that you need to keep through the duration of your visit and turn in when you're leaving. It's all easy and quick. On the way back to the States, you'll need a negative COVID test (most major hotels can arrange this, in-room, for you) and will need to fill out a Mexican health declaration (all done on your mobile phone at the airport). Once completed, you show them a QR code, which allows you through security to the gates.

I'd normally agree, but Hawaii is packed to the gills at the moment. It's a bit of a mess. That said, if you have the budget to go to Lanai at the Four Seasons, that's spectacular. It's like what Hawaii should always be.
