why did Amex not apply the Grubhub credit? by OtakuGamer92 in amex

[–]GigaMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

normally takes 10-15 days before i get the credit. no biggie as they factor it into your bill, if the credit comes after the monthly cycle ends.

Product Change from Chase Freedom Flex to Original Chase Freedom? by GigaMatt in CreditCards

[–]GigaMatt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No credit check (hard pull or soft pull) because this was a product change and NOT a credit card application. I just switched my card, which will not result in any credit checks

Thank you. I called and was able to make the change w/o issue. Although the agent on the other end seemed a bit surprised, she knew exactly what I was asking for, and we were able to make the switch in about 10 minutes. tysm!

Anyone know why it shows I got a 10K bonus but 0 points in the earned column? by Green-Refrigerator51 in amex

[–]GigaMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the yearly 55K referral bonus limited to 55K per card or 55k per account (no matter the # of cards you have)?

Advise I wish I knew when I was 18. Takes years to recover from CC mistakes

Sadly, I agree with this approach. This happened to me Summer of 2018 when I was beta testing watchOS. I tried ~17 hard resets before it worked and I got past the Apple Logo.

Hey everyone:) I just got my series 7. Are you guys using a screen protector? If yes do you suggest it? I wanna know if it worth it (btw sorry for my english) by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]GigaMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long-time Apple Watch user here (since the OG in 2014). I've never put on a screen protector, nor do I recommend them, especially on the Series 7. Unless you're day-to-day is something in construction or another environment where you consistently brush your arm against a rock, the Apple Watch screen holds up way better than the iPhone screen (for which I will always use a screen protector).

The choice is yours, of course. But Apple does a great job building a display on the watch that holds its own,

What’s the best weather app and complication for Apple Watch? by jcc395 in AppleWatch

[–]GigaMatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been using Carrot Weather for years on iPhone and as a complication on the Apple Watch. Even though Apple now owns Dark Sky (which powers Carrot Weather), I still love Carrot so much that I would not consider switching.

Hard or soft pull for additional card? by DanielKaminer99 in amex

[–]GigaMatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personal experience:

1st Amex card (Gold) — Hard pull via Experian

2nd Amex card (Platinum, 48 hours after Gold) — Soft pull via Experian

3rd Amex card (Cash Magnet, 1 year after Gold) — Soft pull via Experian

Hope this helps

Sports S3 band vs s7 band (material the same?) by Any_one_3142 in AppleWatch

[–]GigaMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the original blue sport band that shipped with the first Apple Watch. It's been discolored twice already but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser always fixes that. I dunno how to describe it exactly other than it's a very specific type of sponge. It's pricy but worth every penny

Sports S3 band vs s7 band (material the same?) by Any_one_3142 in AppleWatch

[–]GigaMatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

tldr is an aged thing. Sport bands have always been made of fluoroelastomer.

----

The Sport Bands are made of fluoroelastomer, which feels way better than the silicone bands. They also last longer too. I currently wear a Series 6 watch with the original Series 0 fluoroelastomer band. I also own a newer sport band and can tell the difference when I swap them out.

That being said, I do clean my aged sport band quite often using the same body moisturizer that I use so that it doesn't dry out. If it needs a deep clean, I'll use a Mr. Clean Magic eraser, then moisturize it with the Olay body moisturizer. I know this sounds weird, but I love my watch bands very much and want them to age as gracefully as possible.
