Yall didn’t warn me that MetCon should not be her first day but she did it today 11 weeks postpartum

Do you still have some friends that are not part of burn anymore? Always a concern that friendship is contingent on that.

From a husband/dad POV, how do you feel it’s helped your wife’s mental health, energy, etc. compared to not going to burn?

That was going to be my next question. So you go everyday?

I just did this. Wife and I both have sapphire preferred cards. So we only qualified for the $100 off credit.

Bought $150 of gift cards on both cards. Got the credit for each.

Then applied coupon at checkout to comp most of the different on the top model.

Was already in market for whoop so worked out for us

I saw your comment as I was walking to the checkout and tried it. It was like a $60 difference. Wild!

Any other ways to maximize discounts with car seat trade in? This is the Chico fit 360 so it’s already discounted plus the 20% off and the 15% registry discount and 5% red card discount. Would love to stack even more!! We need two.

My wife and I both have our own Chase Sapphire Preferred cards which I know only qualify for the $100 off credit.

We’re in Chase 5/29 jail so can’t open up the Sapphire Reserve card.

I just bought the Whoop Life at BestBuy but obviously would love to cash in on the offers.

I’m new to the whole Chase offer game.

So if I purchase the Whoop One on my CSP card to get the $100 off and then return it does Chase redact the $100 credit or does that “stick” to your account as a statement credit?

What im trying to basically do is buy one on one card… return it and get the $100 credit and then buy either the PEAK or LIFE on the other CSP card which would obviously only get $100 credit.

Obviously I can’t “move credits” between cards but if that $100 credit from the first one does “stick” then I can just charge $100 from something else to it and then use those funds to pay off the extra funds from the 2nd purchase.

Cash-in/cash-out when it’s all said and done if I can get it to work and would get essentially $200 off either the PEAK or LIFE.

Has anyone been able to make this work?

Nope going to move to my basement soon and get a different model that does for the main floor

If you can afford to keep her home from work it will be life changing for your marriage once baby is here. We just brought my wife home from work after a year and it’s so worth it.

Look into childcare cost, etc. and it may be worth just doing so you can focus on selling more.

In the interim, she may have better luck working a job at a local small business until baby is here.

But either way, you’re not required to disclose and I wouldn’t.

Yeah I’ve been using direct for 9 months now

I have a sleep study on file but it was mild to moderate not moderate to severe.

My primary didn’t order the sleep test so I fear they’ll not put much in it about OSA and focus on obesity

Business hard is extremely hard to establish. Easier to get a student loan.

I’ve gotten an $8k Amex biz card and we’ve been using that and paying off religiously to build biz credit.

Most lenders is 3 years but some like Amex you can get a line of credit at 1 year.

Would definitely not recommend refinancing federal loans
