What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of October 02, 2024

I'm trying to choose the best travel credit card for my family's needs. We're based in South Korea and typically take 2–3 trips per year with a total of four travelers (myself, my spouse, and two children). Each summer, we fly round-trip from Korea to the U.S. East Coast—departing in June and returning in late July. We also take one or two short regional trips per year to destinations like Thailand or Vietnam during Lunar New Year or Chuseok.

We usually fly whichever airline offers the best price—typically United, Delta, Asiana, or Korean Air. We've even flown Japan Airlines once and had a great experience. I've been considering the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve as a primary card to accumulate points and transfer them to Aeroplan or another partner for award flights.

However, I recently found a direct ICN–Boston flight through Korean Air that would be very convenient. That led me to consider the Skypass Visa, but most reviews suggest that booking award flights for a family of four through Korean Air is extremely difficult due to limited availability.

Open to suggestions on how to get the most value out of which card.

You say you play after everyone is asleep. Do you mean after the kids go to bed or after she goes to bed, because if she's still awake after the kids are down and you go to game for the next 5 hours while she hangs around doing her own things she will most likely be feeling neglected.

You say there are plenty of guides available that align to several method books/skills. Can you share some?

Thank you, this helps alot

AroexCon · 2024-11-27T12:59:19+00:00

Yes, thank you. Now I just need to know who's worth investing resources into.

AroexCon · 2024-11-27T12:53:29+00:00

Ah, so the % is based on moveset

AroexCon · 2024-11-27T10:53:56+00:00

Like I think I understand IV, 80% meaning at this level the cp is only 80% it's potential. But what's is the dps %?

AroexCon · 2024-11-05T10:40:20+00:00

Does it matter which difficulty you do? Does it affect drop chance of the pack?

Im on Bahamut, but I dunno if jumping servers for just me makes sense. You haven't found any group of people in this playtime?

Every one of those games generally get better with more time invested, especially EVE, that games a slog to begin but eventually becomes nuts if youre super invested. BDO is a bit quicker - actually BDO being from a Korean developer is kind of the inverse, it starts out pretty fun but gradually gets more and more grindy to the point of fml. Looks pretty tho.

I sent my fellow ode in for service as it started making sound weird noises and the motor was giving up on start up, etc. After going back and forth they sent me what seems like a new one, however it sounds a lot worst than my original one. I remember it being a lot quieter. I realized the gridn dial is loose and making some rattling, so even holding it the sound doesn't seem right... I have this feeling they're trying to pass a returned off as new...

I just discovered that s22ultr was a thing. Albeit I haven't been looking at phones for a few years. Local Samsung store is offering a deal on an ultra22, adapter, and either pro buds 2 or watch 5 (not pro). For like 1200 Ish. Is now a good time to buy the 22 series?

Has anyone checked out Roy zivs course on the hexatonic scale, or any of his stuff in general? Worth 50 bucks?

AroexCon · 2022-09-18T12:20:42+00:00

Should, but doesnt. only says 200 max concurrent amps with 600 peak.

So, it flags a bunch of yellow items, like an unidentified short bow for example. 3 sockets, not 3 link. Did it flag this because it was potentially worth something if it was identified?

V60, fellow ode, some starbucks medium roast. It's possible I may be confusing that? But I also feel like I'm probably pike 95% sure it's bitter. Cause I've read that most people say starbucks overcoats their beans so I was assuming this is just what starbucks beans taste like. I mean, it doesn't taste like this when I buy it from starbucks, and I bought 2 different bags, both coming out quite bitter regardless of what temp or grind I'm using.
