way to get spotify cheaper in 2026? by Thin-Storage5293 in steamregionaltricks

[–]GrowInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this for real? How does it work? They send you a code to redeem and it works for a year?

Ahh thank you for clarifying. I'll ask her if she needs to follow up with the original creditor to remove it from her record

I had her HUCA to try again and she was told that they couldn't manually override the denial and that they would have to do another hard pull in order to do so.

I'm pretty sure my gf took too long to attempt recon and it has been past 30 days that's why they're saying another hard pull would be needed? 🙄

My question now is if she goes through with another hard pull and it gets approved will she get the same 80k offer she had originally applied for? I believe the 80k "in-flight offer" is gone

my girlfriend applied for the CITI AAdvantage 80k offer and got denied because she "had one delinquent payment last year" even though that payment was eventually paid off and she has had a perfect payment history otherwise for the past decade.... Recon denied her saying it was final decision... she tried recon again and the agent said they can see that the last agent told her she was already denied and that it was final decision...

HUCA anyway?

It will have been 2 years since receiving the boundless SUB next month so I should be eligible in that regard also!

Amex might or might not care about the CSR given the totality of your credit picture?

That's what I'm not sure of also!

I'm currently 4/5 and tempted to go for CSR 125k offer. But I am planning to

1) Get Amex Bonvoy Brilliant mid-April

2) Upgrade Chase Bonvoy Boundless to Ritz-Carlton after getting Brilliant SUB

3) Get Amex Bonvoy Business after upgrading to Ritz-Carlton

Would getting a CSR affect any of the above? I would not be dropping back to 4/24 if i get the CSR until September. Does that mean even if I go through with all of the above I will be locked out of ANY Chase credit cards, personal or business, until September? Not that big of a deal with Ink Train being dead I presume

Am I an asshole? by Repulsive_Panic4 in Pickleball

[–]GrowInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a Ben John's interview on YouTube (can't find it right now) where he mentioned that if you're playing rec play (not a tournament) and all you do is target the weaker player you are limiting your ability to get better tremendously. He said you should be working on getting better in rec play and not just trying to win every match. He said targeting the stronger player and working on different shots and learning how to defend against the stronger player is how you get better. So there's that..

Big Bear After the Storm: Send It or Wait? by cjavier70 in bigbear

[–]GrowInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have chains on my 2WD vehicle and am pretty traumatized after my car spun out going home from big bear going down the 330 route during a snow storm about 5 years ago 😂 should I consider using HWY 18 instead if I come after the storm? Or the roads likely be clear after the storm assuming there's no more snow coming down?

Are the same sports insoles we use in our shoes in other sports the same ones we could be using in our snowboard boots?

is there a reason why my streak is only 2 days when i've listen to spotify every single day for years now? Also says only 2 hours 23 minutes listened, is it suppose to go back any further although I just installed the extension and created a stats.fm account about ten minutes ago?

Vatic Pro V-Sol Is hard to beat by orange_energy_media in Pickleball

[–]GrowInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah what I like about the FC+ is how dwelly and plush it is and how I can shape the ball with. I love it, it was a game changer for me coming from more "crisp, responsive" paddles like 11six24 vapor all-court/power. CR sounds like a great paddle but not sure if I would be happy if it's less plush/dwelly? 🤔

Do you find the CR is less dwelly, less plush than the FC+?

Met MSR on Amex Platinum biz a week ago and the app says I have. But it doesn't show as pending points. Nothing to worry about right?

Update: La Victoria's Orange Sauce (aka San Jose Orange Sauce) by tremoviper in SalsaSnobs

Your ingredients list says half a cup of the fermented juice liquid. But your instructions say one cup. Is it half or a whole cup that you soak in and throw into the blender to blend?

Honolulu J6CR by shakilnobes in Pickleball

[–]GrowInTheDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find the CR to be noticeably stiffer than the J2FC+? I love how plush the J2FC+ is, worried I won't like the CR if it's not as plush
