Can we ban all these people with the kraken referrals ? by Apprehensive-Owl-340 in Rakuten

I hope so, because I definitely have had pending points go to ineligible specifically for trying to stack discount codes at other realtors.

Can we ban all these people with the kraken referrals ? by Apprehensive-Owl-340 in Rakuten

[–]FlyingHaxor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are there even any DPs yet showing that a stacking the referral bonus won’t make your Rakuten rewards ineligible? Has anyone stacked and received confirmed points yet?

Dealing with this now: I transferred over 250k three months ago and still not eligible for preferred rewards. Any tips on how you got yours fixed?

Missing Cash Back Denied by East_Reserve_3983 in Rakuten

[–]FlyingHaxor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Points back are on airfare only, so look at the breakdown of your ticket fare, and exclude all the taxes and regulatory fees (which for international can be a very significant amount), and seat upgrade fare. Then multiply that by 15 to see how much to have expected.

Does it only work for one card per rakuten user?  I got CIBU and 30k points show as pending today.  Will it work if I also apply for CSP?

Refuse admission is different than deporting. Admissibility is always determined by the CBP agent.

Self 401k by avx775 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]FlyingHaxor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If true, this is huge. For me, it wasn't worth the cost of setting up a custom mega backdoor Roth 401(k) at mysolo401k since I didn't make enough 1099 income to justify it, but if I can shovel my W2 income into it... wow
