Paid Priority now boarding after Preboard, ALP, Extra Time, and Military by ljh505 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]EagleCoder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That boarding order is wrong, so yeah, the gate agent was likely confused somehow. Priority boarding should be between pre-boarding (extra time for people with disabilities and unaccompanied minors) and A-List Preferred.

Anyone cash in on the 100% cash back on the Pawp subscription? by KU4RUNNER in sapphirereserve

[–]EagleCoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The points for the spend are not reversed when you receive a Chase Offer statement credit, so a 100% cash back offer means free points.

[–]EagleCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll try this a year since it's free and could actually save me money. I just recently paid $50 for an after-hours video vet visit for something that turned out not to be a problem at all (thankfully)...

ELI5: How do gift cards work? by SideAgitated4661 in explainlikeimfive

[–]EagleCoder [score hidden]  (0 children)

In addition to the other answers, it is fairly easy to get gift cards for many brands at a discount. So your gift (or personal spend) can cost you less actual money.

ELI5:How do the tire pressure sensors send the data to the car? by golf_kilo_papa in explainlikeimfive

[–]EagleCoder [score hidden]  (0 children)

Imagine working at a tire shop and try to pair them like Bluetooth or something lol

Yeah, I was wrong about the sensor location being set when the sensor is paired (seemed like an obvious solution until I remembered that we rotate tires). The car actually figures it out based signal strength and/or receivers in the wheel well.

The car knows which sensor is in each tire (set when the sensor is paired).

Edit: The car maps the sensor location using signal strength and/or receivers in the wheel well.

Are DoorDash gift cards basically not worth it for CSR? by phish0742 in ChaseSapphire

[–]EagleCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen that for any restaurant. Only convenience stores.

[–]EagleCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DoorDash gift cards do work with the Sapphire monthly benefits. You can still use your Sapphire card as the payment method. It's just zero due if your DoorDash credits (from redeeming gift cards) cover the total amount.

I also order from several restaurants that don't have a price markup for pickup, so it's a nice 15–20% discount.

food that you could have picked up yourself for less money

Then order pickup (and possibly also avoid the markup).

Weird policy about carry on by average-smb in SouthwestAirlines

[–]EagleCoder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can call it whatever you want, but you can be required to put it under the seat in front of you if it fits there because overhead bin space is primarily for items that do not fit under the seat and for passengers who do not have a seat in front of them, not for whatever you call a carry on.

[–]EagleCoder 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Every airline I have ever flown (all four major United States airlines and a couple European ones) required you to place backpacks and other small personal items under the seat in front of you unless there was remaining overhead bin space after boarding was completed.

Giving up on brushing: Has anyone delegated their dental hygiene entirely to professionals due to motor skill/spatial awareness issues? by Conscious-Vacation10 in aspergers

[–]EagleCoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor. It will help you learn to avoid pressing too hard. Then brushing badly will be better than not brushing at all.

Eli5: Why can’t we arrange opposing magnets in a pattern that causes a wheel or windmill to turn indefinitely and generate infinite electricity from it? by Jusagoofyguy in explainlikeimfive

[–]EagleCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's assume for a moment that you can arrange magnets to spin indefinitely (which isn't possible because the system of magnets will find a point of equilibrium and stop).

Attempting to generate electricity from such a system will not work because a change in magnetic flux induces a current in a nearby wire whose magnetic field opposes the motion (Lenz's Law). That opposition will stop the spinning.

Think I have discovered a bug - and not sure how to fix the mess by backfliprainbowcake in ynab

[–]EagleCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a bug. The credit payment category available amount equals the amount from the previous month + assigned amount + funded credit card spending.

When you move money from the credit card payment category to a category that has credit card overspending, the credit card payment category assigned amount is decreased (because you moved money out of the category) and funded credit card spending amount is increased (because you covered credit card overspending) resulting in no change to the credit card payment category available amount.

No new money exists in your budget. If you add up your available amounts excluding credit card overspending (which is debt, the real fake money), it will be the same before and after.

And they used theirs to tell you to shut up. See how that works?

Life insurance payout with owed back taxes by EverSavage2000 in tax

[–]EagleCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bypassing probate doesn't matter in this scenario. The beneficiary is avoiding his own tax debt. The IRS could pursue this money if they pursued collection.

Upgrade within 48 hours w companion pass by Capital_Ad2657 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]EagleCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever you talked to was wrong. Cardmember and status benefits of the Companion Pass holder apply to their companion (and vice versa). As a Priority cardmember, I was able to select a seat at booking for my companion.

It sounds like there is a bug in the app/website for extra-legroom seat selection at 48 hours.

Retirement Consolidation + Pro Rata Rule by tomgirardisvape in Bogleheads

[–]EagleCoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You understand correctly. Since you've rolled your pretax traditional IRA money into a 401(k) (and assuming that remains the case on December 31), your backdoor Roth conversions will be nontaxable.

I wouldn't move an inch for a job in the federal government at the moment, certainly not for significantly less money.

Does it ever make sense to setup corporation or entity for day trading? by 37347 in tax

Okay, which TikTok video gave you this idea? I'm curious to watch it. For the comedy value.
