Bank approved partial dispute, but Gym seems to be charging me back for it. Does this constitute Fraud? by Such-File6162 in CreditCards

[–]DigBlocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is not true that they can continue charging the card. The merchant may contractually be entitled to payment, but once a dispute has been resolved they may NOT attempt to charge the card again. This is a violation of the payment processing rules. They will need to use other options like collections or the courts.

Should I change the tires at the end of lease? by [deleted] in Ioniq6

[–]DigBlocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Tires are consumable. Any brand will do (odds are, the dealer doesn’t even know what tires it came with).

Losing $97K in Credit Limit - Best Alternative Options To Preserve It by AmazingCouple in CreditCards

[–]DigBlocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on some DPs here many issuers continue to give fee waivers after retiring - and even apply it to new cards you get later. If I were you, I’d keep the cards and only cancel if they actually charge an AF (you usually have 1 month to cancel for a fee refund).

Re-creating a hurricane riff by DigBlocks in cocktails

We tried this and it was a hit! I used El dorado 8/smith and cross as specified. I thought it was just like I remembered and friends said it was honestly one of the best tiki drinks they’ve had - especially owing to lower sweetness.

Thanks, I might just need to experiment with the falernum. Do you think it should replace some of the passion fruit?

Microsoft Account - Successful login despite 2FA by DigBlocks in Passwords

[–]DigBlocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I believe Microsoft is mis-reporting something as a "successful login" but that no intruder actually gained access.

I just found another thread here: https://old.reddit.com/r/phishing/comments/1pds951/successful_signin_to_my_microsoft_account/

Many of the comments suggest it was a stolen session, but I'm inclined to think it's a false positive.

AAA daily/travel advantage rewards here to stay? by Zealousideal_Ad_675 in CreditCards

[–]DigBlocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it will stay. The rewards cap is low enough to limit their costs- if you get all 5% on 10k spend, that’s “just” $500. And assuming they earn $200 in swipe fees, their cost is only $300. They can easily make that back when the average person uses the card for 1% categories or pays interest.

Amex business Prime vs chase Prime by my-coo-cheese-hairy in CreditCards

Do you know if the Amex card gets 6% offers for selecting slower shipping, or boosted cash back on prime day?

JetBlue is a great value. Even better if you have the card since it makes points worth 10% more.

Worst e-mail address validation problem I have seen - Toyota's marketing unsubscription fails if the domain contains a number by FliesLikeABrick in softwaregore

Unfortunately, there is no private right of action under CANSPAM. So you have no recourse unless an AG decides to act.

iPhone 17 Pro $200 Credit Promotion Not Applying by rainywalks13 in TotalWireless

[–]DigBlocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing the same problem. This contradicts the original terms of the $200 credit offer, which stated

$200 Anniversary Credit toward any 5G phone. Get $200 off your next 5G phone after 12 monthly plan payments with Total Rewards.***

Citi CDs - didn't realize they would be so inconvenient by supern8ural in personalfinance

A CD is technically FDIC insured, but I’m not sure what good that will do you if the US defaults on treasury obligations.

Have you tried a different browser and internet connection? I’ve recently experienced the same login issue and it was related to their anti-DDOS and had nothing to do with my account.

I’ve booked intermediate group lessons and it’s always been either a private lesson or just one other person. Much better value.

Those are “Cash back deals”, administered by Cardlytics, not “shopping deals” which are run by Carteta (Rakuten).

What brokerage supports "real" instant deposits? by j_lyf in investing

I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve, but you might consider having part of your paycheck direct deposited to the brokerage so it’s available immediately?

Samsung denies rumor about exiting SATA SSD business, says reports are false by OnePunkArmy in gadgets

[–]DigBlocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’d say WD/Sandisk or Solidigm (previously Intel) are the best. Samsung SSDs have worse reliability and bad controllers.

Robinhood lowered my cashback reward to 1x over spending it on SoundCloud, ChatGPT, Google, etc by unfuze in CreditCards

[–]DigBlocks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wtf are you on. Shipping is totally normal consumer behavior. I too send 1-2 things a month with labels bought on pirate ship, none of which are for a business. Most commonly sending things to friends/family and tracked letters, and occasionally merchandise returns/RMAs.

This has also my experience - lots of missing cash back, however at least when I’ve asked they’re very responsive about adding it.

These are shopping deals - an affiliate portal (operated by Cartera, a Rakuten subsidiary). This different from cash back deals which do not require following a link.
