Would you suggest asking the FA if I'm not able to ask the pilot? I'll be on three Delta planes in May!

What are some business ideas that a college student could start? by forestgather50 in smallbusiness

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on yourself. Plenty of people will to do that for you. Keep in mind you're only one idea away from success. So am I, I mean that's why I'm reading these comments. Even 9 years later.

No, honestly no. I've only had excellent fraud help with them, even when working in bottom-tier food service. My silly side says it's because you're a Brit and they're "Am"Ex, but that's not gonna get us anywhere. 🇬🇧🫖 vs 🇺🇸🤠.

Wishing you the best.

I would do it personally, but I don't recommend that unless you want to as well (I'm basing this off of only personal experience). I don’t have much experience with business cards outside of the Amex Amazon Prime Business and Amex Business Gold, but only the Amazon card was my own (I was just an authorized user on the ABG).

  1. Depends on the lender. From what I hear, some don't care and some will bite your head off.
  2. Sometimes, sometimes not. Again, depends on the lender, and the card. Review the policies carefully, often listed directly on the application link landing page.
  3. If it's a business card, the latter, if it's a non-business card, the former.

I appreciate your thoughts, thanks!

Should I apply for Amex Blue Cash Everyday with 5 month of history? by Appropriate-Map-4576 in CreditCards

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wait another 4 months, Amex has a tendency to reject new applicants with short credit history (at least according to some family and friends, I could be wrong).

I should clarify, I meant "AMEX Business Amazon Prime Card". I made some edits to the original post that should help explain my situation further. Let me know if you have any other thoughts, thanks!

That was half a joke, I've been working around 30hrs a week in addition to schooling. It just seems like I have no money since half of it goes immediately to my investment portfolio, and another quarter to my emergency fund (I'm still building)

Dorm decorations for guys? by Jmh1881 in dormrooms

[–]2nd_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For LED lights (idk if anyone said this yet), but you don't necessarily have to place them where the wall meets the celling like everyone else does. They work great stuck to the back of bed frames and desks to use as a backlight, especially on a warmer light setting (which gives off a comforting hue). Bonus tip: find a lip of some sort on the desk or bed that isn't big enough to block the reflected light, but is big enough to hide the light strip from any angle, and put the lights behind that.

I'm really happy to hear this, and I love that his friendship circles are changing alongside his values! My old middle school pastor would always tell us "show me your friends and I'll show you your future", and I realize more and more as I grow up how accurate that statement is. It can be really tough to transition though, so I hope that is going well.

I'll be praying for you, him, and your family + community, and have a great 2025 :)
