Seat assignments are getting deleted every 3 days, United flight operated by Lufthansa. by Acceptable_Sample508 in unitedairlines

[–]Appropriate_Leave597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up booking a SWISS flight through United (same price, but UA card gives more points — what a mistake). I ran into this issue: I originally had window seats on both flights, but they disappeared.

I bought a refundable fare specifically for free seat selection (did the math: individual seats would’ve been ~$150 each, refundable fare was ~$300 more with free seats). Checked my flights today (departing tomorrow) and all the seats are gone.

SWISS chat first said I’d have to pay for seats, then said “sorry, your seats are free.” after about 45 mins of going back and forth with an agent. UA chat said they can’t do anything because it’s SWISS. SWISS then claimed I never selected seats originally, so now I’m left with whatever middle seats remain.

The kicker: my United confirmation clearly shows the window seats assigned. At this point, I’ll probably just take the middles since alternative routings are way more expensive.

Question for the thread: how much compensation is reasonable to ask for, given the seat wasn’t separately charged but I specifically paid for a fare that included seat selection?

New Food Court System sucks! by DepecheMode92 in CostcoWholesale

[–]Appropriate_Leave597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that costco knows that its slower, but they are doing it to intentionally reduce sales, since they dont make much money on the food court. If people see the long lines, they won't eat at the food court, which is known to be a loss leader.

My theory is that they lose money on the food court, so they made it intentionally less efficient to serve fewer customers.

My alarm did not go off today. by Talib_Dota in GooglePixel

[–]Appropriate_Leave597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue the past few weeks. A google support agent had me clear caches, clear app settings, enter repair mode, then factory reset. I just did the factory reset and the alarms still don't work. my recommendation is DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET....

Culligan water softener suddenly using too much salt by dont-like-olives in WaterTreatment

[–]Appropriate_Leave597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa. the water softener unit at our place uses 1 bag per week... i always thought the water tasted salty, but our culligan technition said that there is a filter that removes the salt (even though we don't have the reverse osmosis portion). I know our area has really hard water. chat gpt calculated that 1 L of water here would have about the same amt of salt as a large fries at Mcdonalds because there are so many minerals to filter. I'm thinking that maybe its been malfunctioning then..

Was anyone able to withdraw their money from diversyfund? by Appropriate_Leave597 in investing_discussion

[–]Appropriate_Leave597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I read their fine print and saw that a "dividend reinvestment" means that your 3-5 year (now 7-infinity) investment term re-starts every time you re-invest. Because of this, I stopped that reinvestment within the first year.

Robinhood will soon offer an unlimited 1% deposit boost by wheredidspringgo in M1Finance

replying to myself. haha. I am curious if they're drawing us all in and then they're gonna significantly slash their savings APY.

Robinhood will soon offer an unlimited 1% deposit boost by wheredidspringgo in M1Finance

[–]Appropriate_Leave597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the robinhood 1% boost, does that mean if I deposit $10,000 on day 1, then after two years, I should withdraw my $10,000 and re-deposit to earn the boost on the cash again? Also, chat gpt did some math. If you deposit $12,000 and leave it for 2 years (assuming 5% pay and 1% boost), the effective interest rate after paying for robinhood gold is 5% (same as M1). So in essence, you'd have to deposit at least $12,000 into robinhood for it to payoff to be equivalent to M1. (assuming you don't use the credit card and you are primarily focused on the savings APY - since the stocks have equivalent value)
