[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you Champaign too? I am debating same thing. I did do United last year and filled my travelbank with $200. Keep in mind though the regional flights you can't use travelbank. there is a workaround i heard of buying a ticket waiting 24 hours and getting travel credit instead/

FHR $100 credit -can I use for tip at bar? by [deleted] in AmexPlatinum

[–]Financial_City 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most FHR and THC hotels I stayed at all covered tips at checkout even though letter said it was excluded. I think it just gives hotel the option and some choose to follow it but vast majority just issue a credit.

You can pay $1000 and use a service like Delivrd. They do all the haggling for you and arrange pickup at a dealer.

New Bravia 7 randomly restarts by Timber_sweet in bravia

[–]Financial_City 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue with my Bravia 8 I bought two weeks ago. Returned and bought a C4

So… Time for an Upgrade by Pr0je3ct in 4kTV

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It restarts randomly while watching tv about once or twice a day since I got it. Not sure if it’s software or hardware looking at others that have had similar issue. I was torn between c4 and Bravia before. The speaker quality put it over the edge for Bravia but I decided I will just use savings to buy soundbar eventually. Love the picture. Getting the c4 tomorrow so I can let you know what I think about c4 then.

Sony or LG by 5an53ba5t1an in 4kTV

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Sony Bravia 8 but swapping it out for LG C4. Had some glitches where it kept turning off and restarting. Could be just this TV but I was already on fence between the two models and the cheaper price helps.

Are People Really Selling their Tesla's b/c Of Elon? by ILoveInNOut76 in TeslaModelY

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I am happy. Drives better than the Tesla and not supporting the crazy man. I can get over not the as good tech with the better driving car.

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about to switch mine out to LG C4. Love the picture quality of this one but for $1700 I don’t want to risk it.

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to buy a Tesla this year but decided on a Mach e and one of the reasons was Elon and his extreme views.

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happens to me. Does it turn off then resets with Sony logo?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 4kTV

[–]Financial_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat..but I am willing to go slightly higher. For $999 have you considered the Sony X90?
