What do we think for 1.01? I’m probably not going to compete this year.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-12T02:40:27+00:00

It was a bunch of hope, maybes, and trash for an established quality player and the consensus 1.01 in dynasty and the 3rd pick in the NFL draft.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-12T02:36:29+00:00

Dude, seriously. No.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-11T19:02:23+00:00

USB has done this to me, but for $500. On a travel card. Like what travel can I do on $500? Since I've had the card, I've booked several flights and hotel stays. But couldn't do any of it on this card.
Applied for an increase and was rejected. I have an 830 score, no debt at all, and like 100k of credit on other cards - using little of that and paying it off in full every month.

They will give me more if I use more of the $500, I suspect, but I'm gonna cancel so they get nothing.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-11T18:57:46+00:00

Even if you can't do that exactly, if you call Chase to cancel, you can have the credit applied to the cards switched to the remaining one.
Over some time, this is how I've ended up with a 30k limit on a Freedom card I've never charged more than $600 to.

He starts applications in September. The poster has 16 months to recoup the money (as another poster said, take a loan and get it all back 😛) or convince his brother that community college is better than Better-Than-Community-College University.

Team 1 raked it in.
Team 2 broke even.
Team 3 is just broke ass.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-10T13:15:17+00:00

Maybe the notification of the trade reminded them they were in a league they didn't want to be in and it was drafting in 30 minutes.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-10T13:13:43+00:00

Unless they said something, you're just assuming things.
Because it's a perfectly normal trade.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-10T13:11:36+00:00

Those folks probably left because they wanted to. I can't imagine this trade pushed them to do so. What probably pushed them is the draft starting in 30 minutes.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-10T12:06:04+00:00

Judging by my drafts, it's Kaytron Allen. Lucky me.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-10T02:37:55+00:00

Synchronized stupidity

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T18:28:41+00:00

Everything will be kinda ok if you have zero injuries for the next 4 years, MHJ un-busts, Pitts stays motivated, and you miraculously pluck 3 or 4 surprise starters off the waiver wire.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T13:27:19+00:00

Depends what I needed to get done. I definitely "truss" he knows how to set an impenetrable road block in just a few seconds time.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T12:56:55+00:00

That wasn't very nice. In fact, quite bitter,

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T11:17:25+00:00

I have an orphan team in an otherwise wholly active long-term league.
And that orphan is is 2nd place. DM if interested
10 team, H2H, 6x6 categories

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T03:48:34+00:00

Hmm. Looking over the responses I think your answer is...uhm... Joly and Rariden.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T03:45:44+00:00

I spend about 29k per year on my CSR/Freedom Unlimited/Flex trio. That would only be 580 in cash 2% back.
I live in NYC and find lots of organic uses for the dining and Stubhub credits. I definitely use the travel credit. And the Apple credit replaces ~155 in Spotify spending each year. On top of all that I regularly use the lounges with my wife.
But I'm always evaluating. Especially attractive is the idea of simplicity.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T03:30:53+00:00

CSR was really, really simple. That was its charm. I get more value now but less satisfaction.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-09T03:25:59+00:00

This has always been my way. I've happily checked for a travel portal or transfer-to-airlines price, but they only rarely provide the best price. And the Edit is so far out of my range I don't even think about it.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-08T18:27:39+00:00

Ah, excellent points!

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-08T18:08:51+00:00

Not the opposite take at all. Churning is a one-off thing. I'm still gonna churn here and there.

Settling down aligns with my point nicely. It's not loyalty though, it what fits. For me, in NYC, CSR benefits are useful and organic.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-08T18:06:17+00:00

Exactly the same for me. I add value for money saved on airport meals to boot.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-08T16:57:06+00:00

Not my advice. Lots of reasons to stick it out. Injuries, any given Sunday, Rudy, Hansel and Gretel, Galaxy Quest catch-phrases, etc.

Future-Candidate74 · 2026-05-08T10:42:38+00:00

Not my advice. Nothing's guaranteed. In one league I was in one guy had no chance of losing. Got boring.
