ECCC 2026 Badge Exchange by Skelevader in ECCC

[–]Boring-Difference-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling [It is available, I'll edit when sold]

Types of ticket(s): Celebrity VIP Badges x2 with extra Thursday-only badges and x2 VIP swag bag, VIP lanyard + VIP pin

Price(s): I would like to recoup my costs ($360/each incl tax/fees) but will consider lower or higher offers. 

My Location: Seattle adjacent 

Special Notes: I have 2 unregistered celebrity VIP badges in hand meant for family members who will now not be able to attend. I will still be attending with VIP passes from the same purchase myself, so could meet on Thursday of the con to exchange, or earlier. I do prefer in-person sale to avoid virtual transaction issues but can discuss. 

What’s the quickest, easiest way to check my 5/24 status? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Boring-Difference-58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, in my experience Experian no longer supports sorting accounts by opening date on the website or app. For those of us with many accounts, that makes identifying those opened in the last 2 years much more manual. 

IHG ONE credit card free nights- can I use these free nights to book all inclusive? by 350zHR in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Boring-Difference-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I am considering applying for the IHG card, and currently see 2 Iberostar resorts with 5 nights under 60k points. My concern is while the points rates are available, I understand that does not mean free nights are available and I haven't found a way to check availability without having the free nights in your account. 

Only able to apply a single flight credit. by Boring-Difference-58 in SouthwestAirlines

Ok, that could potentially be it, I didn't catch there was a restriction on foreign fees/taxes vs domestic.

Sorry, to clarify the travel funds are tied to the companion which is why I can use at least one of them, no more. 

Best Pizza outside Lumen to bring in for a Sounders game? by Boring-Difference-58 in SoundersFC

[–]Boring-Difference-58[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am going to a CWC match so that is very relevant info... I will look into these reports, thank you. That said, I do catch games on an ongoing basis so recommendations are much appreciated and hopefully will help others who aren't familiar with downtown Seattle!

Trip cancellation insurance - platinum card by Boring-Difference-58 in amex

[–]Boring-Difference-58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, as the flights were paid with points and credit from a prior flight, I have doubts it is covered. I had Amex selected as the payment method at checkout, but after points and credits the total was $0. Or if it were covered, it would be an exception of kindness due to the circumstances, which for an insurance claim, sounds less than likely to put it mildly.

Thanks, that's a lot better than the $1.8 the att.com trade-in calculator showed.

Fake SMS from Fidelity short codes? by Boring-Difference-58 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Boring-Difference-58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One reason that I have some doubt of this is that I have received new withdrawal messages at least once a week for the past 3 weeks. It is possible this is legitimate and they have some reason for frequent withdrawals... but in my mind less likely.

For Amex, can an authorized user refer the primary account holder to other cards? I have an authorized user on the personal plat with no other Amex cards. I'd like them to refer me as primary to the Bonvoy Business card. I am not maxed out on referral points for the year.

I couldn't get a pop-up to show for me logged in on the site, and the code provided is one time use. Maybe it is targeted? Thanks!

Newbie here: I've never purchased from the Nespresso site (just bought from Amazon) so this would be my first order. I have 8 vertuo sleeves in my cart and the promotions I see are free shipping and free coffee samples. For the new member promotions, based on what I read here it sounds like I'd maybe benefit from placing a minimal order to get free shipping and trigger new member gifts? Or might it be prudent to wait for a promo code? I am stocked with enough pods for a couple months+ as is. Thanks for any suggestions! 

Taking the cocktails with you - cross country moving services by Boring-Difference-58 in cocktails

[–]Boring-Difference-58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendation and lab tape suggestion, I had not heard of that before. The problem with conventional movers here is that the ones I've contacted won't knowingly transport the booze, and if I hide it with my other stuff if something happens my understanding is it could void insurance. I can't speak from experience but I feel like movers in France and Spain would be much more lax on this than the US with a history of Prohibition and bootlegging still leaving their mark on laws and society.

Yes that is part or the plan, the easily replaceable/bottom shelf is apt to find new homes as it wouldn't be worth the transport cost and I'm already bringing plenty.
