I don't think a new thread is needed for this question-apologies if I am wrong.

I have a puntos card for both Playero and Super Pola. I know that the SP points expire once a year if you do not use them.

Is it the same deal at Playero? I have a bunch of points, but thus far haven't been too keen to find out what hoops I have to jump through to use them. I would hate to lose the points because of my procrastination and ignorance.

Thx.

Great. Now that I am settled I definitely want to get in on this this year. I'm going to expropriate a shade tree, install a temporary railroad crossing with barrier on hwy 5 and extend my hand. Tit for tat is only fair.

Back on topic, I haven't had a problem with Amet in Sosua yet, but I know someone who can't start their car without being approached.

If you want the freshest veges you should give that Vegeman a try. He goes to Constanza and picks his veges direct from the farm and delivers them in a make shift refrigerated truck. His prices are competative but his quality is sooo much better.....now I hope I get some free veges for this plug.......lol....

South Coast
Hellman's on the Right-Wing Coast of the U.S. and Best Foods on the Left-Wing Coast...both made by the same company and have the same taste. The only place you can buy both is in Denver, CO.

I always throw a few big bottles of Hellman's in our boxes - but now I see that La Sirena carries it too. The other mayo brands sold in DR are terrible.

Please note that the correct usage is East Coast and Wrong Coast.

I and my car are perfectly legal. Just getting stopped and having to show the paperwork and getting asked for money is a big enough pain in the ass. Come December, it doesn't matter how legal you are.

in your 'hood AMET asks for money??
well guys,
time for you to step up and get your pueblocito in order.
here a AMET would not dare to ask for money, specially not from a Gringo,
as they know the high risk to get their foto taken on instance and be submitted with a nice report to Bavaro Digital Online, which would result in time behind bars for the one in AMET uniform.
Bavaro Digital is our local online News, many readers/members post and submit fotos to there Live while spotting something "fishy" in the 'hood.
welcome to the 3rd Millenium, it really works.
AMET here means, in the worst case scenario,
that you get stopped, greeted with a nice buenos dias se?or, me permiten sus documentos por favor"
you hand over the lil stash with DL, Cedula, copy of Matricula and car insurance card, he takes a short look, he already checked before if you have the appropriate sticker in the window,
and after 30 seconds you are on your way.
who complaints about such procedures, should simply not be allowed to participate in public traffic.
and remember,
this month starts the sales for the new Placa Stickers,
the timeline to get them will tactically expire shortly before christmas,
so get 'em on time,
'cause near towards christmas there will be many hungry ticket writers out there stopping every car without it.

to start a suitable online News Page, you only need to start a FB page together with a bunch of friends/known persons.
they report there what ever happens in the 'hood.
thats the start.
after a while you will even start a printed version laying out everywhere in the region, for Free for the readers, financed by some AD's from local businesses. sure you run it as a own online webpage then.
so many Expats up there north, should be a piece of cake to get such running.

hahaha
absolutely right.
Mayos y Mustards of local brands are the worst i found around the globe.
in case of mustards even some american brands sold here, are unediable by my own taste.
i guess they are usa-made just for the latin american market, because other us-brands are completely fine on mustards and bbq-sauces.

nope,
not "get" the good stuff,
you just get what you make.
people DO things, and once in a while receive positive effects out of it.
can't speak much about the AI area in Bavaro,
i pass here only 2-3 times per month, when i visit my prefered exchange booth to exchange some dollars into the pesos needed for shopping.
here in lil town we have 3 AI hotels on one side, the other 100 hotels are located off my daily path.
and around the corner in the next Bay on the other side 1 more.
from here to my working place south of the airport no more AI hotels, it is Hotels only.
o.k., the Sanctuary at Cap Cana is AI run i guess.
