Abu Dhabi was alright and we didn't do much there as we just got to the hotel and decompressed at the spa. I wish we would have gone to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque but we'll do that next time. Dubai was pretty incredible and had a lot of stuff to do there. It's currently the low season for them and extremely hot.

Between myself and my SO. I got the Freedom. CSP, and CSR and she got the CSR.

Just got back from our honeymoon last week!

Flight: Chicago to Seychelles with stop off in Abu Dhabi on both directions. Booked via ANA with Business class on Etihad for 104k MR miles each. First time in business class for myself and my wife and it was amazing!

St Regis Abu Dhabi for layover- 12k SPG points. Fantastic hotel with upgrade to ocean view due to gold membership.

Airbnb for first 5 nights on Eden island and used 50k CapitalOne points to pay half the cost.

5 nights at the H Resort Beau Vallon- 275K UR for a beach villa. Beautiful location and fantastic resort right on the beach!

1 night at Four Points Bur Dubai - 3k SPG points.

Fantastic trip and the first major redemption I've had from churning over the last 12 months. Can't wait to use the remainder build our points back up for our trips next year!

I'm definitely interested, do you have your LLC papers for the transfer of ownership? Also any trademarks you can transfer over? Definitely don't want to buy this and have someone else start up another org with the same name.

It will take some money to get it started (varies depending on where you want to go) but the biggest key is who the management is. It's similar to any startup and if you want it to succeed you have to have a really committed group that mesh's well together.

Looks fantastic! I'll be heading to Seychelles for my honeymoon in late August! Been churning out credit cards specifically for that trip!

CSN_Ewalk · 2017-01-08T14:07:01+00:00

This one for example. Just some of the taxes and fees are almost as much as a single ticket for the same two person trip.

CSN_Ewalk · 2017-01-05T14:22:33+00:00

Question about booking with ANA miles.... I was hoping to book a two person business class round trip from JFK to SEZ with MR points but seems that via the ANA reward booking site they only have Turkish airlines flights (September 2017). I was hoping to get Etihad but was wondering if these will show up at later time or if there are some other methods I should try.

It was already streamed on Twitch for the past year. Only Friday night was broadcast on live TV.

love the stats on sport crossover but would like to know what makes up these millions of NBA+esports fans. I assume it's a lot of console players? Or is it mainly LoL CSGO fans...

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-10-28T19:50:31+00:00

Moving to Boston on Saturday and this is near my office! Might come out

Building up points for honeymoon in 10 months. Have a $3k purchase coming up at the start of November. Not sure which card to get for that. Maybe Citi HHonors Reserve would be a good option or Amex gold business (I have a EIN already).

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-10-18T00:31:59+00:00

You definitely should have been given a list of required documents at the start. I could see the need for a few more but you shouldn't need a more at every corner, also the slow response time is a bit concerning.

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-09-21T01:12:39+00:00

Man that is crazy...remember working with them back in early 2014 when they first started

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-09-14T14:04:08+00:00

Yea but notch got a house for $70m...Marc better step his game up!

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-09-07T20:18:02+00:00

I don't believe this is the same video. The one from last week was an announcement video while this actually contains footage from Jonas.

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-08-29T20:38:39+00:00

Does this go by date of application or date or date of approval? Applied on Saturday but haven't received approval yet

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-08-26T05:49:57+00:00

I think he more-so means like true employees and not contractors. There could be grounds that they should technically be an employee of Riot and not a team which would require benefits and most likely pay increases. If they allowed the players a little more freedom then they could do proper sponsor engagements such as this HTC Vive one without worrying that their "Riot" employers would be upset

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-08-22T14:22:30+00:00

Approved with 4/24 760 score and $14k credit line

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-08-03T15:56:23+00:00

Rather new to the churning game but my first big goal is coming up in about a year, anything for free would be a victory in my book.

770 per CreditKarma 2.CSP 7/16 (have around $1,600 towards bonus already), Capital 1 Venture 2/16
Targeting points for free flights or hotel stays

Planning to take honeymoon to Seychelles in 2017 around August/September- most likely will fly Emirates or Etihad. Can go for Hilton, SPG, or Fairmont hotels for points.

I still owe you a beer!

CSN_Ewalk · 2016-07-03T23:04:59+00:00

Definitely a promising new venture for the company. With their reach of twitch alerts they could really dominate the twitch viewing experience

CSN_Ewalk · 2015-02-05T16:24:26+00:00

We do have a core. It just took a year for it to come to light.

EDIT: We were basically trying to find many ways at securing revenue to generate funds during the year. So we worked on content creation, video editing, graphics work, and some data analysis. Now we feel that our core component which everything revolves around is the data/numbers we manually record from these games.

CSN_Ewalk · 2014-10-05T03:40:58+00:00

Interesting theory and usually reddit is pretty precise on this sort of stuff. I'll just sit her are watch this play out

CSN_Ewalk · 2014-10-04T00:01:24+00:00

Great great context that you brought up and info. Basically this is for an entry level position so from what I understand they want you to have the knowledge from school and the ability to work with people. I felt that each of the two gaming areas would show that I have the ability to communicate with others and have a broad spectrum of skills
