Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 ( $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ).
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda > Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ~ ?.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ? the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 : On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 : Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I used to enjoy traveling with miles as a UNITED miles member, but in the last couple of decades, because it costs a lot of miles and there are restrictions on the airlines you can use, I have a card that comes with CAPITAL ONE travel credit, and each time I take a ticket on an airline of my choice and I get cash back in miles.

Other credit cards probably have a similar system ? but.... I only earn miles on each airline, but I don't have a credit function on them.

Thanks for the information.
I knew the name of Capital One, but did not know about the additional features.
It is an advantage to be able to buy a ticket on an airline that suits you each time.

I have frequent flyer accounts with United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, and Delta, but
all but Hawaiian and Delta are dormant. It is not easy to master the mileage way.

I also use Chase Sapphire Reserve, not with a specific one.
It is even considered the best card for people who travel a lot.
You can accumulate points and book with various airlines.
Also, you can use airport lounges with priority pass.
I recommend it. I recommend it,

I have never heard of Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The annual fee is high, but if you use the benefits well, it seems to pay for itself.
It is also good that you can make reservations without being tied to a single airline.
As expected, various credit card companies have come up with various services.
If I start looking into it, I will be addicted to it.

Hello, I am a high school student in the United States. I have heard that it is normal to obtain an F1 visa to study at a public high school in the U.S., but I have heard that the F1 visa only allows you to study for one year. However, I would like to know if it is possible to study in the U.S. with a visa other than an F1 visa, or if there is another way to study in the U.S.? I heard that it is possible to study in a private high school for more than one year, but the tuition fee is...

You'd have to ask the high school that accepts them. I mean, if there is an accepting school. I've only heard of it at universities and graduate schools.

As in Japan, if your parents are not paying taxes in the U.S. as a resident, you could not attend a public high school exchange student for more than one year, could you?
I think you would get more up-to-date information if you look for study abroad groups on the Internet or Facebook and exchange information with students.

By the way, the Los Angeles Unified School District has a FAQ on their website, so please use a translation tool to read it.

How long can a student study in the LAUSD?

F-1 students can study in the LAUSD (or any public secondary/high school in the U.S.) for one year or
two semesters. (*Section 625 of Public Law 104-208, Section 214 (m) of the Immigration and Nationality

If your parents pay taxes, that means you can't attend for more than a year unless you are adopted by an American who pays taxes, etc. ?

I get sick from the smell of marijuana.

I've never had a problem telling people this, but
lately my friends are giving me trouble.
All of them are American.

If you are over 30 and don't like marijuana, how do you deal with it ?

I thought about just making new friends, but I don't know where to go to make American friends who don't smoke pot.
I don't go to bars or nightclubs.

Mr. Ginger

both sides of your house... That is painful. My friend has experienced other drugs as a teenager and insists that marijuana is not a drug. I try not to expand the conversation with marijuana users because it is troublesome to argue with them about marijuana, but it is possible that they do other drugs from time to time. It's time to move away and find new friends.

You write that you have a problem with bus drivers letting homeless people on the bus, but
you can't refuse them ? the person to whom the driver himself can say don't get on or get off at his own discretion is drinking,
or someone with a bottle of alcohol, or someone who is making noise or fighting or acting up with anyone And so on. I can't tell them not to get on just because they are homeless.
The driver doesn't have the authority to refuse you a ride just because he doesn't like you.

I am a homeowner myself, but I don't understand what Jack is talking about at all. lol
I think everyone has their own circumstances and opinions, and I am sure everyone uses the bus.
I am mainly taking my kids to and from school, so my car is the only way to get around, but my kids want to ride the bus
just for fun ? I'm thinking about taking the bus with them when I get the chance. ddmm808, your son is using the bus for the environment, and I think that's wonderful.
I am sure there are many people who choose public transportation for that reason.

Mr. Jack, what everyone is upset about is your Itsukpou-like judgment and over-the-top attitude. I'll list them here in bullet points since you don't seem to have noticed them.
1. It is the driver's fault for letting a homeless person on the bus
The State of Hawaii, by US law, discriminates on the basis of race, equality in all things
and public transportation allows people to ride the bus except those who would harm them. Drivers cannot refuse you because you are homeless.
I personally sympathize with some ex-servicemen who have become homeless because of the trauma of past wars.
2. You can't ask a bus rider not to come to your house or
not to sit on the bus.
Maybe it's time to publicly tell bus riders who visit your house that you are afraid of Non welcome Coronas.
Jack, it is your home, your castle, so please make yourself comfortable and stress free.
3. When you become a home owner, you will understand.
It doesn't matter if you are a homeowner or a renter, there is only a difference between Mortgage and Rent 。
I am a homeowner too, but I have friends who gave up their own cars and come to visit me by bus. I am so thankful to them for coming by bus and I make them a cup of cold barley tea with all my heart. Corona is airborne and not yet 100% understood. We cannot say that you are infected on the bus. You can get it in spas, spas, schools, workplaces, everywhere.
I can understand why you are getting angry at the offensive remarks you have been making lately.

Showa Otouta-san has a Japanese passport, so he can prove his survival at the consulate.
Baikinman can't prove his existence at the consulate because he has already returned his Japanese passport.

Use your head and understand the difference.

If you also return your Japanese passport and clear your mind, you don't need a notary or consulate like Mr. Baijinman, you can prove your survival just by showing your electric bill.

You should consider which is cheaper.

About having a cat though I go back to Japan temporarily every year.

Greetings

I am posting because I am wondering about keeping a cat in the U.S. and was wondering if anyone currently has one or is familiar with the information.

I would like to have a cat, but I go back to Japan temporarily for 2 weeks every year.
I had not actually planned to have a pet, thinking about the furlough, but
I have always wanted to live with a cat, and now that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and I know that living with a cat would have a very positive effect on him, I am seriously considering getting a cat now.
Most importantly, my son also loves cats.

What do cat owners do when they leave their homes for long periods of time? ?

If you have left your cat with someone you know, please let us know if there are any precautions or problems that have occurred.
If you have ever stayed at a pet hotel, please let us know the location and the rate ( I have looked at various websites, but many of them do not know the rate … I have the impression that there are not many hotels to begin with )
If you are looking for a hotel in BibiNavi, please let us know the daily rate. …

I would like to be well prepared to pick up a guest, but I have little information about what to do if I am away from home for a long time …
By the way, my house is a townhouse (. I don't know if this is relevant, but … )

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Maki, thank you very much for the useful information. I didn't know that there was an option to call home, so this was very helpful. It is really helpful that you wrote down the specifics … such as camera installation, market rates, and how often to call a cat sitter. I see that the pet hotel is in a cage. I didn't know much about the actual situation and didn't know that it could be a bad place for cats. Thank you for telling us.
I really appreciate that Maki, who actually had a cat, told us in detail how she did it when she went back to Japan temporarily. It gave me a concrete image of what to prepare and research, and was very helpful. Thank you so much !

Hello, I am a grandmother in my 70's and have been unable to work for a long time due to health problems. I see that there is such a thing as cat-sitting. I can drive and it wouldn't take much physical strength. I've never had a cat but I don't dislike cats, so I would like to do it for about 1 ~ 2 hours for a Japanese family. I'm glad I found your article very informative. I wrote to thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a cat that I brought from Japan.
I leave him at my friend's house when I travel or go back to Japan temporarily. When my friend is traveling, I take care of my friend's cat. I don't receive any fee from my friend because we both have the same cat. We only exchange souvenirs.
If you are traveling for 2 nights, you can leave your cat at home if you prepare more water and food, and if possible, two toilets.

When leaving your cat at a friend's house, you need to be careful that
① the cat is spayed or neutered ( cats have a 100% pregnancy rate after mating )
② you also bring a toilet ( that has your scent on it
③ Have your nails clipped ( It's quite scary to clip someone else's cat's nails )
④ Have a room or cage where your friend's cat can be alone and safe for the first few days.
A collapsible cloth gauge called a pet tent is useful.

Also, it is important that the cats are compatible with each other.
If the owner agrees, you can leave the cat with the owner for a few days as a trial to see if they are compatible.
However, they will probably be intimidated for the first few days, but you may be able to see if they are just playing with each other or if they are fighting so hard that they could injure each other.

Cat sitting is great to have a familiar home environment, but
if you ask for about an hour a day, the other 23 hours may be lonely because of the solitude.
We have heard stories of people who have become so lonely that they have started roughhousing in bed during readable trips.

Leaving her at a friend's house is not without stress ・ ・ ・

I hope you can find a cat friend near you ^ ^
I live in Foster City. I live in Foster City, but if you're nearby, I can take care of him for you.

By the way, townhouses have stairs, so it's a good environment for cats to get up and down exercise.

Charles, thank you very much for your very detailed information on leaving your friend at home. It was really helpful for you to write down exactly what to be careful of and what to prepare. Thank you also for your kindness to offer to take care of our child for 2 nights !
We will not ask you to do so because we are a little far away, but we are very happy that you are kind enough to offer to take care of him for us! I am very glad to hear your kind offer to keep the cat. I didn't know that townhouses have stairs and are a good environment for cats, so it made me feel very comfortable to pick up a cat.

Like Charles, I also take care of my friend and hers. However, in our case, we go back and forth because our cats do not like to leave each other's homes,(恐怖い).
We live here in San Jose, so if you are in the area, please contact us.
