Thanks for the add'l details
As for now, I'm unable to travel but love to keep as point of contacts (travel planning coordinator) for my relatives. It makes me happy to see their smiles. They rejected all other means I offered. And they only accept small amount GCs such as Starbucks, max at either 50/100 here and there of Costco, Target, restaurants etc...
Lounges access is the most efficiency way that I could gift.
Therefore Authorized Users lounges Priveleges is the most efficiency I can think off the list at this time. I understand from DPs that PP is the least desirable option.
VenX still an option on the table, does anyone know how much per additional AU for VenX after 4 free? rather than find a work around for another application for 2nd VenX account
When should I start to worry in attempt adding additional AUs to my Ritz Card? Bring the number to 8? Or potentially 16?
My unique needs disregard all SUBs or bonus. Our bills paying definitely beyond $100k/year.
I forfeited all points, airline credits. Actually transferred and gifted points to those relatives or via Christmas charity if unused.
