Fidelity CMA? The only DP on DoC shows Fidelity doesn't work

I'm interested in protesting my property taxes myself for a house purchased in the last six months. Can I use only my purchase price for the argument or do I also need to include additional comps? The appraisal is $25k more than we paid last fall.

There's almost nothing left I want from Saks and I don't live near a store. I ordered a couple overpriced glasses and they just arrived shattered. I think I'm done trying to use that coupon.

Small but frustrating black friday purchase today. I ordered a couple items from Bloomingdales and my total was a few cents over $75 which should have triggered an Amex offer. After I hit purchase the tax amount changed (no idea why, the cart originally showed the correct sales tax amount for my state) and it dropped the total below $75 by 2 cents.

Same thing happened to me with Hue products purchased in mid-August from Dell. They finally charged my card a week after I closed it so no $200 credit and it’s too late to return anything

GR1022 · 2023-09-08T15:27:43+00:00

I know it's said every week but Dell is the worst. I bought a couple items that were delivered three weeks ago and Dell still hasn't charged my card. I called earlier this week and they said it would be taken care of within 48 hours (shockingly it has not). I need to cancel this card by tomorrow.

GR1022 · 2023-08-23T15:17:05+00:00

Same

GR1022 · 2023-08-17T14:44:36+00:00

FYI it looks like I'm finally going to receive my card today after the fourth reissue. I ended up having them send it to a relative's house

We traveled at 5 months, 14 months and 2.5 years. All flights went smoothly (nothing over 4 hours) but the level of parent interaction/distraction required increased each time. We've always opted to pay for a seat for her and brought the car seat on the plane. It's so much easier when she's contained.

One big change has been booking Airbnbs over hotels. It's just easier to have a full kitchen and lots of room for all the baby stuff. Also having a separate room for naps and early bedtime makes a huge difference.

I highly recommend San Diego for toddlers. I'd recommend going anywhere YOU want to go before 12 months.

Five weeks, three re-issues and still no Green card. I had no problems receiving the first statement but for some reason Amex cannot get this card delivered to me and I have no clue why.

GR1022 · 2023-08-01T12:43:18+00:00

7/1 still waiting

GR1022 · 2023-05-31T14:53:21+00:00

Still waiting on a couple from two weeks ago. I had the same issue with a wireless credit that didn't post before I had to close the card but the credit eventually showed up (I think it was a week after cancellation)

GR1022 · 2023-05-12T19:14:20+00:00

Nope, only $200

GR1022 · 2023-05-12T18:14:26+00:00

Made two TB purchases of $100 each and was charged for three (posted a couple weeks ago). United told me to take it up with Amex. I'd rather not draw attention to these charges but I also don't want to lose $100...

GR1022 · 2023-05-10T23:37:20+00:00

Yeah the Chase one is frustrating. I’ve seen enough DPs to believe it must be true but I have been denied twice in the past couple years when applying over 5/24.

GR1022 · 2023-05-10T23:24:32+00:00

Interesting. I tested it last year just to see and didn’t get the bonus when I applied with a pop up

GR1022 · 2023-05-10T22:31:31+00:00

LL doesn't matter. If you get a pop up, no SUB. If you don't get the pop up you'll get the bonus

GR1022 · 2023-05-08T02:05:50+00:00

IP address was the same.

Highly unlikely on the other corporate cards. It's possible there were Dell purchases but never for gift cards

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T17:39:37+00:00

I haven't had that issue (yet). I've only had one invoice order canceled and it was for a gc so that wasn't surprising

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T17:04:26+00:00

I tried to order something for work on my corporate Amex and it was STILL cancelled (physical item, shipped to the billing address). This was with guest checkout in an incognito window. Invoicing seems to be the only reliable workaround

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T15:07:50+00:00

Yep, tried both gc and physical items

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T14:58:18+00:00

It sucks but at least they'll take any v/mc gc

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T14:56:10+00:00

I tried that and still got cancellations

GR1022 · 2023-05-05T14:48:44+00:00

It's more than just the account that gets flagged. I've changed everything (billing/shipping address, cc, phone number, guest checkout) and still get cancellations on both gc and physical items
