Am I the only one who appreciates the decentralized multiple carousel system at DFW?

I fly in and out of DFW frequently (1–2 times a month). While I seldom check in my bag, whenever I do, I always appreciate how fast and easy it is to collect bags when flying in. I don’t have to walk miles to a centralized location with multiple carousels. They have multiple carousels spread across the airport. Especially Terminal E, which has like 10 carousels, roughly equating to 1 carousel for every 4 gates. For e.g., if you land at gate E20, your nearest baggage claim might be E18, that covers gates E16-E20. (Making these numbers up but you get it). You just walk out of the plane, walk for a couple of mins to your nearest exit/baggage claim, get the bag, and out you go. This is, of course, possible only if you fly domestic, but I’m always surprised by how quickly I get out of the airport at DFW.

Price Match Approved - CSR

Booked 2 rooms yesterday at a Holiday Inn for a short trip through Chase Travel using my CSR card. Before booking, I saw that IHG was offering the same room type with the same refund policy for $18 less per room. I still went ahead with Chase Travel because I wanted to use my $250 Chase Select Hotel credit.

Right after booking, I noticed there was a “Submit a Claim” option under the Price Match Guarantee section for the trip. I filled out the form, attached screenshots plus the cheaper IHG link for both rooms, and submitted it. Got the approval email this morning.

Not a huge amount of savings, but I wanted to test it out and the whole process worked pretty seamlessly.

EDIT: This is a personal CSR and the price difference of $18/room was before taxes and fees.

Chase Sapphire Reserve - Is the $795 Annual Fee Worth It? My Honest 2026 Breakdown (Organic vs Non-Organic)

I recently got the Chase Sapphire Reserve and tracked every benefit I used, separating organic (money I’d have spent anyway) from non-organic (things I only did because the card made them free). Sharing the table above as a visual breakdown.

Note: This excludes the sign-up bonus entirely. I will get 150K points which adds massive additional value on top of everything below. Also, I am in the DFW area which helps a lot for the OpenTable dining credits. DFW is also getting a Chase Sapphire Lounge in 2026, so the lounge situation is only getting better for locals.

I wanted to share this because this sub helped me make my own decision when I was on the fence about the $795 fee. Hopefully this gives someone else the same clarity. Happy to answer questions on any specific benefit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
