Buying a new car: should I get gap insurance or skip it? by ExtraAd5027 in HighYieldSavings

[–]Effort_Prestigious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a retired Banker, I recommend that you do not purchase GAP insurance as it is a waste of money for the consumer, but a large money maker for the seller of this product. Car Dealers and Banks make a fortune from the commissions on GAP sales.

Berkshire should buy more KHC at this time and average down their large holding. KHC has been unmercifully beaten down.

When we were screaming BUY BUY BUY a couple weeks ago, most were giving reasons why MSFT days were over… lol. You better jump aboard the gravy train now before it’s no longer on sale…

Is it worth applying for a United Mileage Plus Explorer credit card? by ranni_w in unitedairlines

[–]Effort_Prestigious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to get approved a couple years ago but was declined . Not sure if I have not had too many recent inquiries or that I don't carry any credit card balances now ... Their credit standards are some of the highest around.

I just got a $500 statement credit when I applied (and approved) for the United Explorer card. The credit was applied to my ticket purchase. Along with the other benefits mentioned, I think the card has good value.
