Locally, the grocery store that sells Gift Card is Kroger. On most days you get two points for every dollar you spend on Gift Cards, but at least once a month you get four points. Thus, a $500 gift card gives you 2000 points, enough to save $1.00 per gallon twice (up to 35 gallons). I fill my car and gas cans at the same time to come very close to the 35 gallon limit.
Kroger Corp owns many stores that may offer the same deal.
The Kroger Co. operates grocery retail stores under the following banners: Supermarkets -- Kroger, Ralphs, Dillons, Smith's, King Soopers, Fry's, QFC, City Market, Owen's, Jay C, Pay Less, Baker's, Gerbes, Harris Teeter, Pick 'n Save, Metro Market, Mariano's. Multi-department stores -- Fred Meyer.

Does anybody have experience whether there is any difference in receiving timely upsell offers from the big box TA, a corporate TA, a PCC, or booking directly on HAL's web site?
When booking directly or with a PCC the offers come to you. If you booked with any type of agency, the offer goes to the agency and they must forward it to you. Reports are that sometimes the Big Box and other agencies do not forward them.

Today is International Children's Day, Global Day of Parents, and Heimlich Maneuver Day
He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.--Bob Marley

I finished four cruises b2b the beginning of this month. All credits were rolled forward cruise to cruise. Possibly the difference was that all cruises were linked, 3 of them prior to starting the cruise and the last one on board when I realized that it wasn't already linked. This has been my experience with several b2b cruises, but all were linked.

No Direct Sales of Liquor In Certain European Ports
in Holland America Line
Posted
It only mentions 4 ports, not the entire countries. I'm pretty sure there are other ports in the UK, and most likely Belgium and Scotland. It is entirely possible that this is the local jurisdiction that mandated the change.
