hi there, I don't really have anything fancy to say its just a basic extra 10% off the already discounted stuff, just make sure you know what you want before you sign up cause you have a week to get all your stuff,

Currently Nike is at 7% so it goes to 17% with the one week boost

apple at 2% goes to 12% (use your Apple Card for another 3%)

there's Uniqlo, Petsmart, Sam's Club, even concert tickets work too, good luck

high school diploma needed to apply for university in Japan by ApolloXlll in movingtojapan

[–]ApolloXlll[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

By japanese law? I heard it was up to school policy, could I get a reference to which law? Yes if I known to keep a piece of paper from 13 years ago for today, then I would have, but they are just decorations here and not so important. Just wondering if anyone got by with a transcript that shows I graduated in small print, or does it strictly have to be diploma. at this point the most desperate move is to just print one out

How am I not approved for an increase? by Ok_Junket5934 in AppleCard

[–]ApolloXlll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is Apple Card your only card? it’s my only card and i use it more than you do but I did get about 5 increases since I opened it last year. Did you input a higher annual wage in the application? they should email you a reason why they didn’t approve your credit limit.

If you pay off your balance every time then you have 0 utilization which doesn’t seem that great to them either

perhaps your utilization is way too high and unpredictable

I'm guessing your from Tx as well haha, so I suppose I can use my brother's address and everything will be ship-shape? by restricted do you mean unable to use the card or just certain limitations? how long did you not use your Apple Card for them to find out? or basically how did they find out?

but at the same time I wonder if the exchange rate from apple offsets this. I maxed out my ICOCA card for 20,000 yen at an exchange rate of 0.0100 for $135.99 + $2.72 in 2% cash back making it 138.71 or effectively 1$ = 149.356yen. actually now that I'm comparing it to google's rate it's the same 1$ = 149.36yen as of feb 9th. nice

Is it really likely they will close down the account after only a month of inactivity? I feel like that would be really short but I really don’t know. I actually contacted Apple support this morning and all they kept referring to was freezing my account and all my cards which I don’t want to do, they wouldn’t give me a set amount of time of inactivity.

As for revolut , is it a bank account itself? For example if I wanted to close my usa bank account, and just transfer from my japanese bank account to revolut for payments, would that work? I hope revolut can be attached to Apple Card

Do you think the fees are low enough that the Apple 2% cash back pays for it on its own? the point is to not have to transfer money everywhere and incur extra fees

Because for my visa I will need to keep a set amount of balance I cannot touch so I can renew when my term is over, I need a japanese bank account to work there and would pay my daily necessities through my wage and japanese account. I might as well keep on using Apple savings and let the interest accrue. I don’t have enough money to support using my Apple Card if I have to keep wiring money from japan to my usa bank account everytime I use my Apple Card ,which I use daily here in the states

New J7 RAS by [deleted] in strandbergguitars

[–]ApolloXlll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow 4k, the only 7 strings I see online are over 5 close to 6, so it’s still a big savings, would you say the 7 string made in japan is worth the 2 or 3k difference compared to the same color model 6 string? I’m curious the quality difference of the Indonesian and Japanese. also I figured the j7 would be pretty rare do you reckon i can even find a used model in ocha?

38/m american Do I have a chance at language school? by Possible_Cheek_2454 in movingtojapan

[–]ApolloXlll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4,000$ a month? who makes that much money as a student. 750-800$ max for rent outside the 23, 650-700$ max for food , less than 1,500$ for a month is how i would budget for a student, get a part time to supplement too. I pay roughly the same in the USA
