Isn't there a credit card forum to discuss which are best/worst? Perhaps those type of conversations can go in that forum vs this thread, which is about StarMegado. Granted I might have contributed a bit to the thread going off topic.

But my point was that both my bank & cc co's don't like me checking accounts online from int'l IPs, and so speaking only for myself I need to pay by 4pm 9/7 before I board flight to Europe or can't do so until 9/22 when I'm back. My question was, piggybacking on another FTer who has similar situation (although in their case they're scubadiving in Bali!), whether this would cause difficulties re: final booking, and oliver indicated it wouldn't (within reason of course).

The other question I have that I haven't read the answer to (besides details on what's happening on the 10/31 event & at JFK on the 1st) is, if we originally indicated when registering that we'd be flying in on Monday to NYC, can we change it to Sunday? If so, I'm leaning towards that. If not, then I'd release the TS hotel room I'm currently holding.

Cheers.
