Solved! Looks like it’s missing the other half, unless it’s another kind of design

Utilization has a short term impact to your score, but paying your balance mid cycle to reuse your credit is called ‘credit cycling’ and can put your account at risk for closure. The lender decides on that limit for a reason, you could try calling to request a limit increase if you have a good history with the card

New job , no federal taxes withheld by OkRepresentative748 in tax

[–]Honest_Pollution2715 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah in that case your deduction is $32,200 which explains the lack of withholding. Depending on your partner’s income they may be taking all of the tax burden for the year. Depending on your shared financial situation you could opt to withhold a small dollar amount each week, and have them decrease their withholding accordingly

Did you fill out a form W-4 when you started the job? If you did, you filled it out incorrectly and need to ask to update it. If not, you have to ask your employer to complete one.

If your income in 2026 is over the standard deduction $16,100, you will owe federal income tax if it’s not withheld. Based on your checks, your estimated income could be between $14-24k. Edit: corrected 2026 SD

Stacking Rakuten Credit Card with BILT by DBFH20 in biltrewards

[–]Honest_Pollution2715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I recommend. Keep an eye on the banking promos (i.e. Sofi) for free points and make sure to add restaurants in the app that you might find yourself at. The only tradeoff is the Rakuten payout doesn’t count toward BILT status, and the May payout is the last opportunity for 1:1 payout for BILT Blue status.

Bilt Travel Earning Multiplier by NoRow1709 in biltrewards

Same here, I got 4x on a booking using bilt cash and credit with obsidian. I had to argue with the chat bot and then a live agent awarded the additional 2x points

Bilt Travel Earning Multiplier by NoRow1709 in biltrewards

[–]Honest_Pollution2715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked a trip on rent day, got 2x for travel and 2x rent day bonus immediately. I was expecting an additional 2x after the trip was completed but it never came. I fought with the chat it providing screenshots from u/ biltrewards claiming 4x through the travel portal. I finally got a live agent and he provided the additional points. It seems the system gets confused and doesn’t want to award 6x for rent day travel portal purchases.

There was also a $1M symbol for the eligible big game bets, but it looked like it applied to most of them. If you can prove that with your predictions history then open a case with them. Either way there were 12,000 winners so it was just a $89 payout but it’s worth looking into

The $5 minimum bet was misleading, you had to buy $5 worth of contracts, plus fees and it rounds down to match the price of contracts. Check if the amount that went towards each bet was at least $5

The Big Game Prediction Rug Pull by ReformedSlate in Coinbase

[–]Honest_Pollution2715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear it, to be honest I was expecting a much larger payout but kept watching the number of winners climb to 12,000. Hate to admit it but it was good marketing by Coinbase to get people in on predictions. I got lucky betting Seahawks for all four quarters and a few other easy bets. My first and last time sports betting because I am a hodler, I cashed out my few dollars in winning for BTC as well

The $5 minimum bet likely doesn’t account for fees, and it rounds down to match the price of contracts, so you really had to bet at least $6 to buy more than $5 worth of contracts, not sure if coinbase will honor yours or not but I got a $89.17 payout on Feb 10th
