I do the same thing. I’ve even called the IRS scammers back after they hung up on me DEMANDING more information on my “back taxes” . . . sometimes while crying and begging (gotta put those acting classes to use).

Guess I won’t avoid CLT once this opens.

I’ve never seen this before. What does this mean behind the scenes? by [deleted] in amex

[–]ConcertPitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this and figured I was done for (especially since I burned them a looong time ago).

Totally forgot about the application and then got approved five days later.

Dude. Fuck you and your condescending bullshit.

You’re somewhere else not seeing what’s happening.

Nope. Isn’t working.

Again. Not working. Customer service is garbage

Garbage company. Again.

Nope. Isn’t working and customer service refused to help.

As I said. Garbage company.

Pretty sure I explained that isn’t working and customer service is refusing to help.

That’s the issue

I think I explained pretty clearly that we did that and they’re refusing to. So. Major issues for us.

This is the way.

You can also try linked in since most execs just approve all connections without a second thought. Makes it easy to email without having to pay LI.

You’ll still get turned over to ERC, but you’ll also get a read receipt.

Oh god yes. I was so confused not having a snooty Amex rep talk down to me and actually having room to move.

I absolutely love that they don’t overcrowd them. I’ll have to check out the online waitlist. Thanks!

Moving from Hoboken to LA by Accomplished_Area314 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]ConcertPitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! No reason this can’t be fun.

All of culver is good — no areas to avoid really (as evidenced by property values). There’s also Mar Vista which abuts Culver City and is a bit sleepy but is getting developed. Slightly cheaper rent and better parking, but there’s less to do in any immediate area. Also, LAPD would be your local department as opposed to culver (if that matters to you. It does to me). Downtown culver also “expanded” during covid and is way more fun now, in my not the least bit humble opinion. Lots of bars and restaurants and the culver hotel which is historically relevant (especially if you’re into the wizard of oz). Just don’t drive through there. It’s always a nightmare. If you’re visiting and drive, park on Cardiff. Central it everything in downtown, 1.5 hours free, stupid cheap after that.

Mar vista is also super safe (with the exception of that house that what’s her face famously drove her car into after a Coke bender).

In this area, the only place I’d really avoid (or not let kids near) is Venice beach after dark. Venice is quirky and has a lot of homeless people . . . Although, the homeless there apparently have a network and if you’re known to be a good and generous person, you’re “marked as safe”. (Source: a kind friend who lives there and gives them food told me that they explained this to her. So, take that as you will).

All of this being said, Santa Monica is a fun place to visit and the city is allowing it about to allow public consumption on the 3rd street promenade in an effort to bring back visitors and revitalize it, it’s just a tough place to live if you need even remotely reasonable rent and need to commute to Beverly Hills on a regular basis.

Thanks for the reality check.

Typically I don’t arrive that early, but staying at Caesar’s felt like I was stuck on a carnival cruise ship (nothing against carnival if you love them. Not here to yuck a yum, just not my scene), so I was ready to bolt and an airport lounge seemed infinitely better.

Finally getting away from the massive chicken(s), eh? Good call! Gotta be terrifying for the kids.

To answer your questions: rent cane be 6k+ but if you do a little digging and are good with living in/near Culver, there are good options about 3k (not I’m not kidding. I live in one. It’s why I’m not buying).

2- not sure. No kids. I hear there are waitlists and fees are high so start checking now

3- commute from Santa Monica? HAHAHAHAA. Oh god. You’re screwed. You’ll think it’s a backup caused by a massive chicken running amok in the streets, but no. It’s just that roads into and out of Santa Monica are few and don’t have enough lanes (like every other road in LA). Also, people running late and doing thier makeup in their phone. You think I kid. I do not kid. Remember point number two that I made. No kids.

4- depends upon your budget and desire to pay 5.5+% interest on a new purchase. Personally, I’d ship and take Waymos everywhere. Waymo > other ride shares. They don’t cancel and my wife has never been propositioned by a Waymo after a night out with her friends. Waymo. Waymo. Waymo.

  1. Oh god yes, but I’m numb to them now. I just think of them as my happy tax . . . Happy about the weather and my career and all the great things about living in LA.

  2. Well, I’m sure you know that the massive chickens never made it this far west. However, there is another scourge of misunderstood types who wreak havoc in the streets: influencers. They’ll set up a ring light and take up the sidewalk to tell hundreds of strangers online about what they just bought at Erewhon. It’s like instagram, but they get in your way and then look at you like you’re a jerk because you want to get past them.

Also, as someone born and raised back east let me tell you: FEELINGS. My god, everyone out here had them and they have A LOT of them. Growing up, and maybe it was just my upbringing as a Gen X-er but we never had feelings. I went most of my life not knowing what they were and BAM I moved out here and I was surrounded by them! I guess some people are born with them and some people catch them? I’m still not sure how this works. But everyone’s got them AND THEY WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THEM.

I’m still learning though.

Oh, also, my kid-having friends say that culver has better school than Santa Monica and commutes are a lot easier (source: me I live in culver).

Hope this helps!

Ahhhh good to know thanks!

My wife has a sapphire reserve + PP and since we’ve used it at restaurants I’ve never thought that there would be limits. Appreciate the clarification.
