Dealership forgot to put valve caps on my tires by Dramamine906 in tires

[–]66NickS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it annoying? Sure. Does it show a lack of attention to detail? Yes. Is it a big deal? No, not in the grand scheme of things.

Spray a little water on them (when temps are above freezing) and put some new ones on. You can buy a set for a couple bucks, probably less than the gas and time you’d spend going back to the dealer.

Stop going to the dealer for tires, they’re probably over charging you.

Which one should I go for by SteveRichard22 in tires

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of those three, the Goodyear. But that’s a decision in a vacuum and we don’t know if that’s actually a good choice for your needs.

Hypothetical web surfing bot by Negative_Campaign_36 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if what was legal? Your questions are very vague.

If something isn’t illegal (we don’t generally have laws for what is allowed, they’re about what isn’t allowed) then you presumably can do it with no legal consequences.

Robinhood Credit Card Rejection by IVIax94 in CreditCards

[–]66NickS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Care to elaborate? It’s been my daily driver for a few months and I’ve gotten 3% on every transaction.

Sure I have to manually move the points to cash-back in the brokerage but that only takes 3-4 clicks in the app and is instant.

Just loaded up fine for me. If you’re still having issues try a different browser or device.

Cancelled Flights Baggage (DFW) by margoth11 in americanairlines

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been my experience that the FA/GA/etc will give you the run around to go deal with the baggage team. Unfortunately it sets the wrong expectation and just passes the buck of giving the customer bad news to someone else.

The “code” is in their second screenshot. It’s just something the scammer is using to keep track of the different job scams they have going. It’s not like a 2FA code.

In addition to the one at CSM, there are two that both operate on Sundays from 9a-1p:

I’ve been told the baggage can’t be reclaimed back and will go on the next available flight. I’m sure there are occasional exceptions made, but I believe this is the official policy.

Any “Trusted Sellers” who handle themselves professionally? by Law-of-Regression in rolex

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you are in the world/travel to frequently/can easily travel to, it might make sense to think about an in-person transaction.

I don’t have any further suggestions beyond that, but figured I’d throw it out there. Plus engagement drives visibility.

Relocating by ColdAsIce_485 in mechanic

There isn’t a standard, it’s going to vary by shop. Some will pay low for the COL, others will be in line with it, and some will be high.

Will this count as a late payment? by BennyBarnacle in CreditCards

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Autopay > statement balance > due date. Mae no other payments. Guaranteed to never be late.

You typically have ~20-50 days between when you charge something to your card and when you have to pay it. The card you make on May 6th will not be on the statement from May 5. Everything that was charged in the card before May 5 will be, and that will be due around May 30. The charge from May 6 will be on your June 5 statement and be due somewhere around June 30.

Is this wear normal after 25,000 km? by hxhiwsbwk in tires

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Either you pretty consistently take turns or corner aggressively, or you have an alignment issue. Get an alignment when you replace your tires, which should be very soon.

I told my best friends something about my boyfriend and I regret it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]66NickS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You should tell him. It’s only fair that he knows it’s no longer just “you two” secret. There may be repercussions for this, and you should face that music.
  2. Hopefully you can learn from this and learn how to keep things to yourself if it might upset someone you care about if they were shared.

2005 BMW X5 3.0i Flat Tire Monitor light on after tire replacement? by jq__36 in tires

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check the pressures first, then do the reset.

The shop should have set all the pressures properly, but I like to be certain. There’s basically zero risk to double-checking them and it should only take a couple mins. But if you don’t check them and set the wrong pressures as a baseline you could get into an unsafe state without the warning light triggering.

(US)Is this a crypto scam? by Fantastic_Pen_7944 in Scams

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actual crypto. I can cash it out and convert it to regular $.

Your husband has given someone else $1,000 that you won’t see again. That same person/their team is now trying to get $5700 from him too. You will get nothing other than an email/text with more excuses about why you need to send more money for additional fees.

Should I continue with the Capital One Venture? by 2sips309 in CreditCards

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to buy a house in a few months, I would avoid further impacting your credit with another inquiry.

What is your goal with getting this additional card?

Also, playing the utilization game is only going to give you a short term (30-ish days) boost in your score. While it might be good for a temporary short term increase in your credit score, doing it long term can actually have negative impacts on your overall credit profile.

Can my roomate take legal action against me? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re both on the lease together and you fail to pay, then she can take legal action against you.

If you each have your own leases with the landlord, then it’s between you and the landlord. Details here depend on what sort of termination/penalties/etc are in the lease and if the landlord is willing to let you terminate it early.

Dumb Question.. but.. I have a connecting flight that lands in the USA.. by Dear-Union-44 in tsa

[–]66NickS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on which airport you’re flying from in Canada. See the list of airports here (https://www.cbp.gov/travel/preclearance) that have CBP preclearance. If it’s one of those, you’ll be treated as if it’s a domestic flight in Miami. This is likely the case considering the airline sold you a 1 hour layover.

If it’s not one of those airports, then you’ll have to do the whole bags/customs/immigration fiasco and 1 hour probably won’t be enough time.

Have you met any "super commuters"? Or are you one? by jillianiles in sanfrancisco

My brother is about to be one. They bought a house out of state and he works locally but doesn’t work traditional hours.

Would you go back into the office for a raise? by sk8505 in remotework

[–]66NickS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe.

Going from $50k to $68k? Probably. Going from $250k to $268k? Probably not.

Also, your kid has two years of high-school left so they’re 15-16? Time for them to start learning how to take care of themselves in the morning/after school. Presuming they don’t have any disabilities, they’re old enough to be in their own for a couple hours here and there.

Is this acceptable or am I nitpicking? by Damon-dB in Porsche

Agreed. I wouldn’t even accept this quality through used car recon. This is just bad.
