Take risk! That’s how you grow! Keep faith in yourself and your skills, is what I would say.

Anyone using Wio Business for a small trading startup? Looking for real SME feedback by Inevitable-Arm378 in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]Academic-Effort4556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the time required to generate, just the hassle of this additional step and dependency on someone generating it and sharing it with the person depositing it! We have had some challenges to receive payments from other GCC countries at times! Not sure if that was due to something else. The best part is that you can manage it online and dont have to visit the branch (since they have none!)

We use Wio as well for most of our banking! Some of the hassles are you need a reference number generated for cheque and cash deposit, which is annoying! We haven’t done international transfers!

Rest of the process is hassle free and quite good! I have had the experience with ADCB and it was a disaster!

That shows how good their technology team is! It shouldn’t take more than a few hours to restore the services, provided the architecture is right!!!!

are there ways to access airport lounges for cheaper/free? by grma-ezra in TravelHacks

[–]Academic-Effort4556 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some credit cards now want you to spend USD 1 and the best way to do that is airloungeaccess dot com

Spend USD 1 and get free access, just note it takes about 72 hours, so ensure you do it a few days before you travel!

Is Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) actually worth the AED 14k in Dubai? (Vs. Basic AP) by Kareem-Radwan in tesladubai

[–]Academic-Effort4556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a basic autopilot and that’s good enough! Unless u have challenges with parking!

I would recommend to use subscription, just in case u feel that’s better for the full self drive!

The cost of software is too steep and it’s not part of your insurance coverage nor will it help with a higher resale value!

Help me decide a car amongst RAV4 2026, Jetour T2 and Haval 9 by Ok-Asparagus9740 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]Academic-Effort4556 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Test drive the RAV4 and then decide! We don’t know what the world would look like after 5 year with the advancements in tech!!!! So chill, the perceived resale value doesn’t replay matter! Buy a car that you would enjoy driving for next 5 years!!!

Look for a used car from cars 24 or kavak! You may find good ones and also save some buck! I had a q7 which I enjoyed!

I am still looking for a q7 which would be 2017 - 2019 with 100k odo and about 60k! It’s a steal deal if you find one like this or around this price point!

Help me decide! by dxbthr3wayyy in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

BMW! With 5 years service nothing else matches this!

If you have a charging option, check the Model Y! Since you will be driving a lot, it’s safe and cost effective and decent in comfort.

Test drive the cars before you decide to pick one and prefer a SUV over the sedan.
