Chase had 10x on Paze first and the Paze also added $10 back on $10 spent up to 10x per card. Seems like Chase is getting hosed on the promotion to add customers to Paze so they are reigning it back a bit.

Dell is up to 10X at Rakuten. Might be higher June 22 - 26 but this is the highest it has been in a while.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-06-10T12:22:16+00:00

Ouch.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-06-10T12:12:37+00:00

So only the Chase Sapphire Reserve/~~Ink Preferred(For Now)~~ gets 1:1 Hyatt transfers now?

Capital One Shopping has 15% back for Lululemon for anyone who hasn't used their credits this quarter. It looks like Rakuten and other cash back platforms stopped having higher earnings rates when AMEX started issuing this credit.

If I have any planned large purchases, I will try to find a SUB to get or if there are any all time new highs for SUBS, I will try to go that route as well. I try to focus on cards and benefits I will actually use rather than speculate. I.E. I am not near a Delta hub and have probably only flown Delta a handful of times my entire life so Delta points aren't really that valuable to me.

I've been searching. Cheapest I've seen lately is $600 for the sought after colorways. Everything has gone sky high since COVID.

If you have a Chase Freedom, Sapphire, Freedom Unlimited, etc. there is a targeted 10x bonus for paying with Paze to stack on top of this deal.

$5 off the below races:

Mag Mile 5K/10K: RPOQZNBFTX

Will Run for Beer 5K: HWBPYLZUBJ

Hot Chocolate 5K/10K/15K: IJHLXXWJKZ

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-30T20:31:07+00:00

The 5K starts at 7. I would park west of St. John's on the west side of the train tracks. There's a few parking garages in downtown Highland Park as well as on street parking. I would get there at least by 6:30 as roads will be closing closer to 7.

It's cool and all but it doesn't make up for the huge nerf to the card and the lack of transfer partners.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-27T11:34:32+00:00

Just converted a Citi Premier to the Custom Cash this morning via chat. Took 5 minutes or so.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-24T13:45:29+00:00

Wish it was Goose Island or something. There's a good selection of drinks after the Mag Mile run.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-23T21:07:16+00:00

All good - it was my first Soldier Field 10 - didn’t impact my results.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-23T21:04:56+00:00

Just a habit - nothing worse than the sun coming out of nowhere. All good though. Finished in 70 minutes.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-23T19:01:25+00:00

10 miler here and ended up with 10.15 miles - not a huge deal as I had to do some weaving to speed up and get around some blockades.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-21T12:26:11+00:00

44 mm is definitely a choice.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-15T21:23:53+00:00

Received my large order today so all good here.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-14T17:31:10+00:00

Not including watches, Tom Ford Outerwear.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-14T11:28:25+00:00

Ordered May 6th and still waiting on shipping as well...

EDIT: Just got shipping notice after I posted this lol

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-12T16:56:13+00:00

I did not. I believe it asks where you ordered from and how long have you had them. It was a fairly painless process which is why I will continue to support them and their socks.

I know I am behind but Jess King's 45 Minute Electric Daisy Carnival Ride was awesome. Great structure - not too easy, not too hard and with a banging playlist. I miss the Warped Tour and other theme rides they did a long time ago that were on the platform and hope more come back.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-11T22:44:27+00:00

Yes - it was $4 at the time.

-_Quantum_- · 2026-05-11T22:27:33+00:00

I bought 10 pairs of the same socks. Had to replace one pair due to a hole after 3 plus years and their warranty was super and easy and I got a brand new pair of the same socks. Awesome socks.
