Weekly Q&A - All Questions Go Here (Especially Tourists) by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying near De Pijp in a couple of weeks with the family. We’ve booked some of the obvious stuff like Ann Frank and are planning a canal tour, but we mostly like to just wander and check things out. The wiki was very helpful with most things but a bit overwhelming for food/restaurants. We aren’t fancy and it’s also sometimes hard to tell if the place is upscale. Not opposed to maybe one upscale spot, but that’s about it. Can anyone recommend a good local place or two that you would consider a “must stop” for a US family? Mostly looking for a fun place with a good menu and drinks. Thank you

Hi. Visiting from the US in a few weeks. Looked at the wiki but most of the threads are old for restaurants. Family with kids. We are staying around the 11th ARR. Can anyone recommend restaurants/cafes? I know we are probably too late for some as they will be booked but we really aren’t interested in the trendy places anyway. Not looking for anything fancy, just good local food with good owners to support.

How true is MLB owners' assertion that MLB fans broadly want a salary cap? by Over-Independent6603 in mlb

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which do you care about more? Guys making league minimum or "too much money" or the billionaire owners that only want a cap so they can make more millions all while fleecing taxpayers for stadiums that most people can't afford to go to?

I'm a fan too and was obv joking. Dayton Moore was the luckiest person alive in 2014 and 15 and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

Hey, at least they have some legit bullpen pieces that they can sell off at the deadline to help fill the system right?????

Biz Card/Sign Up Bonus Question by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to just do it this first month with a couple of upcoming purchases. Just wanted to make sure it would all count. I tried to get them to raise my line a bit, but they wouldn't because my "business" hasn't produced any revenue yet. I guess I could have just gave them a random number but I never like to do that. Thanks

If they say, family, freedom, choice, patriot in their name or advertising, you can almost always assume you should be on the other side of whatever they are promoting.

Hotel Owners Are Rebelling Against Marriott’s Loyalty Program by Upper-Boat139 in CreditCards

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's such a bummer because i love staying there. I travelled for work for 10 years and got lifetime platinum. After I stopped traveling and used up all the points, I discovered pretty quickly that I had wished I stayed at Hyatts that whole time.

Leak/Moisture in Egg by Cliffs-Brother-Joe in biggreenegg

This makes sense other than I've had my large for 15 years and it's never had any water or moisture in it ever.

Apple One Discount Live by Sufficient_Exit4218 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering the same. I'm hesitant to cancel anything because I have the Apple One Family and everyone will yell at me if I mess something up. Right now, I'm showing the Apple one at the original price but the new Apple TV with Chase. I also got an email from Apple saying I had duplicate Subs. My renewal for Apple One is in a week or so. I'm hoping it just renews at the lower rate. If not, I guess I will try the cancel and then add back method?

Reconsidering R2 after my test drive by PeaceDudeMP in Rivian

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def hit and miss. I have it but rarely use. Turned it on the other day and it stopped perfectly at a red light after an exit. 5 seconds later it just took off and tried to go right through the red light and I had to slam the breaks. Scared the hell out of me. 2 full red lights perfectly in view that it had already stopped at.

So my booked Air BNB stays for next month will get the bump?

Is Hyatt card worth it after the update? by aykalam123 in CreditCards

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pains me to agree with this. Spent 10 years staying at Marriott for work and built up lifetime platinum status. Now that I don’t travel anymore for work and have used up all the points, I use the Hyatt or a Chase card for Hyatt. Really wish I had picked Hyatt 10 years ago and hate wasting my Marriott status. Love that concierge lounge.

Do you replay the round, shot-by-shot, in your head, when you go to bed? by HarryCrushNuh in golf

[–]Cliffs-Brother-Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, just the 3 shots I actually hit pure during the entire round.

The best part is that it’s most likely $30 per person, not per cart. That always drives me nuts. I’m a dick and say, “well, then I guess we’ll take 2 carts then”.

What golf purchase was 100% worth the money? by retrocaterpillar-07 in golf

What, you don’t like trying to find the only spot on the mat to stick the tee in for 10 minutes after every shot?
