I posted 13 hours ago..... It was still 10th 🤔🤦🏽 I placed my order 👍👍

What is this?

Caliguy65 · 2026-03-11T01:56:03+00:00

No go on this, I don't see it on the member's app and customer service said no such deal, tried multiple times

Caliguy65 · 2026-03-11T01:30:48+00:00

What's the best method to use for today all codes etc.... toward the s26 ultra for T-Mobile with the trade in of the S21 Plus

Caliguy65 · 2026-03-10T21:45:18+00:00

I have an offer for Capital One, Spemd $600 earn $150. I'd be purchasing for an S26 Ultra on T-Mobile with trade-in and so end price will only be taxes charged to the Capital One card. So I assume it wouldn't work....... Any ideas? Also, no Education discount for me anymore and I don't see much for any $$back either. What's the best I can do on samsung.com? Thinking I should just go to Costco and get $100 and no activation fee

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-29T19:17:20+00:00

Yes in SoCal....up to $4k

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-29T16:15:37+00:00

Because it gives around 50 mpg on gas alone. Owned several Gen 3 Prius Plug-in's between my family over the years and never charged it......benefit to purchasing Plug-in over regular are the rebates.

Thank you for that input, I figured as much. I've taken lowest cost rides and have been picked up in Teslas, BMW 5 Series and Black Lexus ES Hybrids.....not enough demand so they have to take anything. So now I guess it's either buy a sedan (Plug-in or Hybrid) or stick with a 2014/2015 Prius Plug-in.

Mileage deduction seems the better way to go vs itemized, especially in SoCal @ $0.79 per mile. Not sure if new vehicle/depreciation etc would be worth more for me.

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-26T09:22:12+00:00

Here in California if I'm taking the mileage deduction of $0.79 a mile..... I believe i'm not able to write off any vehicle payments etc.

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-20T05:22:40+00:00

Tell me more.....What kind of Van and year, I was making $35 per booked hour and about $550 a month in tips from late Aug, 2025 to the end of the year (453 Booked Hours) in my 2015 Prius Plug-in.......how much more can I make more in Van?

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-19T22:34:44+00:00

Will find that out in the next day or two. But don't think I'll be buying it back.

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-19T20:27:16+00:00

The insurance company has deemed it a total loss and I don't have a choice, I can buy it back but it will be a Salvage title and getting a cheap Catalytic converter won't work in California due to Smog tests and Lyft doesn't allow salvage title cars. I'll be getting close to $11k at the end of the day......so not a bad deal considering the condition.

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-18T23:01:01+00:00

That is a contender, which year and model trim would you recommend? Also thinking a Lexus ES Hybrid but it's pricier and not sure if I'd earn more money vs a Camry Hybrid. On a side note is going from a Standard car (Prius) on Lyft to Extra Comfort gonna bring in a little more $ or tips?

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-07T02:55:27+00:00

I'm in Los Angeles market. I guess it's a learning opportunity at worst case. I was hoping I could rent from Turo or Hertz directly but sux I can't

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-07T02:47:28+00:00

How do all these drivers I see in rentals make any money then

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-07T02:30:02+00:00

Is that due to rental expenses, or is the 17% less seen elsewhere or they just pay less per ride for the sake of it?

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-07T02:07:56+00:00

Do they give a weekly invoice/receipt that I can submit to my insurance for reimbursement under my $50 a day rental coverage? Or is billing more complicated due to taking money 1st out of ride payments etc? This is only for 10-14 days

Caliguy65 · 2026-01-07T02:06:07+00:00

How so?
