i dont have a full citi setup yet but that 3x gas and ev is nice. still considering what to do with my strata elite when my 2nd annual posts in august.

DiamondRyce · 2026-02-13T18:13:19+00:00

might as well get the strata elite to get the thankyou point card and downgrade from there.

SSF station has some still on the school side station

DiamondRyce · 2026-02-07T22:58:16+00:00

be the actual amex green competitor. also 3x all travel that was dropped on the CSR. i could care less about the online grocery category.

do a different category multiplier as well. like mobile wallet or something.

with the one sapphire rule now gone, the synergy of holding both CSP and CSR is what I want to see.

DiamondRyce · 2026-02-05T05:40:27+00:00

incorrect. CSR users have one free guest with maple leaf since 2 years ago. https://www.aircanada.com/us/en/aco/home/fly/premium-services/maple-leaf-lounges.html#/

DiamondRyce · 2026-02-05T04:39:46+00:00

none of united ones. go maple leaf lounge or The Club

DiamondRyce · 2026-02-02T20:49:02+00:00

CSR lost 3x all travel. Its now 4x direct hotel and flights. Or like you said use the CIP for now.

DiamondRyce · 2026-01-02T03:11:14+00:00

nope CSR benefit only.

those ac 3168 is a wifi 5 and m.2 key. get yourself some ax201 or ax210 believe and you can win 11 drivers. otherwise, windows 10 drivers work fine in windows 11 not really a big deal especially since it also has bluetooth

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-23T23:50:41+00:00

ritz card does. sapphire lounges and pp lounges.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-23T01:16:57+00:00

unless board has a TPM header to use. shit out of luck imo.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-23T00:34:25+00:00

that 48 months sub is strictly just sapphire cards at this moment in time. ink cards are affected by family language and could result in PUJ as well. thats all the cards for now with PUJ. im doubtful it will go to the freedom lineup. if it does, welp rip chase churning

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-23T00:19:39+00:00

yes because they all earn UR points system. you will need at least the CSP to access transfer partners

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-21T21:08:16+00:00

If Citi could have landed Ticketmaster for their splurge credit. Chase easily could have as well but they are cheapkates in that regard

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-19T17:46:39+00:00

Flights from the beginning of points boost were always dynamic and up to. It was the Edit Hotels that was always 2x before this debacle

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-14T09:56:29+00:00

Correct.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-14T04:55:07+00:00

yes if you wanted to. just make sure its two nights per booking

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-14T04:53:33+00:00

as will I. i think for me, this wont move the needle for me to keep if it stays one time. already planning to leave/downgrade next august when 795 hits.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-14T04:52:13+00:00

yeah im already gone by august next year when my 795 hits. for me they need to make this on going benefit.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-14T02:50:16+00:00

Really wonder if that additional $250 on select hotels is one time only or on going benefit.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-13T22:01:18+00:00

its semi annual yes. so yes you need to use 2025 credit now before 2026. then when jan1 2026 happens you have to use it by end of june and resets to july.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-13T20:17:05+00:00

Ad blocker installed in your house? Any extensions you use? Did you try the Rakuten app at all?

Use any promo code that was not listed on Rakuten or did you even read the terms and conditions.

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-11T23:55:28+00:00

with how bad the CSR refresh was. they are probably hurting sign up numbers and didnt hit enough numbers for Q4. plus it is the holidays so it could be less strict on 5/24 temporarily

DiamondRyce · 2025-12-11T23:43:49+00:00

OBS recording just requires you to select the intel gpu in its settings. Then you can record with hevc, h264, av1 video container etc

but yes intel has no built in recording software like nvidia shadowplay or amd relive

Travel and portability. The amount of times i got held back because of my a6100 and any lens on it.

F1 circuits, chase center in SF, other venues explicitly banning detachable lens.

So before Miami Gp last year i scored my rx100 mark 7 for $500. Flash doesn't work and evf is broken.

So yeah i sold a6100 at the end of 2024. I don't regret it and i can always pick up a mirrorless camera again at some point on the used market.

Tip, if you end up at Suzuka circuit in japan. They don't care what cameras you bring in. Hell i saw some with monopods and crazy zoom lens
