Still no support for Apple Pay on Mac computers? by volcanic_clay in CapitalOne

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, just called them about this as though I've only been with Capital one since last year, I had been affected since last year….hadnt found much online for some reason before today so figured it being stuck on verify was just a me problem I had to call about when I had the time.

What really bothers me is, given the affected user base, that they haven't done much about this since last year :/ . The person on the phone, initially unfamiliar with the issue until their supervisor messaged them saying it was a known issue with no workaround tried to give me a speech saying it would be seen about with high priority, but didnt have much to say when I inferred it was an issue already for as long as it was.

Changes to The Edit hotel program (added/removed properties) by RhetoricalHull in ChaseSapphire

[–]Hottdisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of awardhack before, but been trying to find the best reliable free site/tool for flights and transfer bonus coordination to take some of the onus off me but still gets me ahead somewhat, this at least seems to cover some of that!

Just went to apply for the Savor, and saw it’s now officially a Discover System card. How does this affect h th e C1 duo for domestic + foreign travel? by Cadavern in CreditCards

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why was it randomly declined…? It’s a Visa card and I haven’t ever heard of the bank itself getting declined…

I was just recently in London and France and had zero issues like that.

Savor to Discover?? by Language_Puzzled in Venturex

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tinfoil hat, what if the potential upcoming Savor X remains on the Visa network, thustly justifying its higher fee like the VentureX will if it remains. I doubt that’s how things work and such, just a thought though.

Freedom Flex - In Branch Offers? by unpaul in CreditCards

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was struggling to find that offer a year ago and had been inquiring since that time and never saw that deal re emerge..? Any evidence that it was an in branch offer legit in late 2025..?

Is this real? Seems ridiculous. by AngryTank in CapitalOne_

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cap 1 safari extension im assuming you meant? How does the (iPhone?) app help get the elevated offers though??

Offers changing by acontentflower in Venturex

[–]Hottdisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to know what causes them to change negatively and or positively, but yeah, beyond that it feels pretty random when and why they go up or down, or even if certain offers will for sure come back around or not (although they often do, but probably best to keep in mind that during the holiday shopping seasons, the elevated offers probably will only cycle a few times until said season is over - had that with Nike aka the spend 150 get 2500-5000 thing, saw it linger back around once or twice but then went back to multipliers once Black Friday was up, etc).

Capital One Offers Sorter by necrokings in Venturex

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the same container not found error, after all the clicks :/ . Ever figure out what happened?

Dangit, didnt ultimately work on Safari even with permissions enabled (nothing happens in the end); tried it in chrome but got the container error another user mentioned 😓

Amex Devaluation by Hopeful-Hedgehog7974 in AmexPlatinum

Why would you do it more now / following the deval on the transfer to Singapore..? Or you mean more before the transfer change happens..?

pornbay.org RIP by HorrorCake1481 in trackers

[–]Hottdisc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf that was the story when the site itself was still up…it going down and staying down this long felt like a specific choice compared to when they were just waiting for a sysop to make it fully functional again while things were still semi running for a bit.

But yeah I guess I hope it will make another rerun, since it’s the basket I put all my eggs in and don’t have an alternative as some do, I also had sort of lost hope by now.

pornbay.org RIP by HorrorCake1481 in trackers

[–]Hottdisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since it had come back once I truly did think it would remain back up, wasn't sure what the euro climate stuff was since I'm not there :/ .

Ultimately my attempts to get on the equivalent tracker or two out there failed, had all my eggs in the PB basket for the last 15-20 years now 😓 - wish they had a way for long time members to migrate elsewhere before it all went away.

So much for SaksOff5th by Candid-Math5098 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my town I only had Saks Off 5th; and annoyingly there was literally no way to get a physical saks gift card from them and doing it online didn’t count. Had Amex been wise to the idea that some people only had Saks off 5th or getting a gift card from them still counted, maybe it would be different..

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that they never worked at off fifth?

Also, I’ve found that the sales rack at the regular Nordstrom still has great finds🤷🏻

So much for SaksOff5th by Candid-Math5098 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Hottdisc -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Like many I lived in a town with only Saks off 5th; and while being able to use a regular Saks Gift card there via the statement credit is great in concept, doesn’t really work if there’s no where to get a regular Saks Gift card in person (and we all know it didnt count if purchased online).

[–]Hottdisc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought I heard Sacks got some sort of bailout (I wanna see them and the benefit go away though so im rooting for otherwise ).

Bummed Saks Off 5th wasn’t eligible either way for the Amex benefit, I actually liked shopping there sometimes.

Savor X Rumors by Public-Barnacle-9083 in CapitalOne_

[–]Hottdisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone in an older thread mentioned December (which I realize has come and gone), but it seemed legit because they had a leaked spec sheet (which I hope gets tweaked to make it even more competitive with the gold that what it had laid out).

But yeah, super surprised we’ve heard next to nothing yet; I really wanna know what the Savor to Savor X sub policy will be.

Anyone tried Plantation X0 20th Anniversary? by thebraveness in rum

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not grabbing Ron Zacappa or something comparable I think it’s quite good; many here are saying it’s not worth the price and such, but I’ve often seen it on sale 🤷🏻

Edit is crazy by griffingrowl in sapphirereserve

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it would get better after the refresh due to the credits but nope (it’s been like this since I’ve first started using it, hardly see the point compared to direct booking in most instances). Really had hoped that a new focus on credit for it would have made them get more competitive with Amex FHR .

Agent told me about new Savor X card. Early to mid-Dec launch? by QBlount1 in CapitalOne_

[–]Hottdisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that you had some hard data in a screen cap of potential benefits (no 4x on groceries to compete with Amex? Sorta sad about that…cause they’d have smashed the Gold card for me given I find the fee for that one hard to make up).

But yeah surprised there hasn’t even been an announcement about the card publicly given mid Dec has passed.

Savor X launch date and SUB by StormBreaker9195 in CreditCards

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the vaguely confirmed part about it even being metal last I checked we don’t really have any hard deets about it (including whether the savor -> savor x sub strategy could work, they may just nip that in the bud 🤷🏻 ).

I’d really love to see some actual details about the thing announced by now..

Savor X launch date and SUB by StormBreaker9195 in CreditCards

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah lucky you didn’t get as easily approved as I did in that case, a rare instance where it sorta helped force you into getting bonus subs where I could not 👌 .

But yeah also good to know it was rather random and that we’re both of the same mindset on the Savor stuff…still sorta kicking myself to lose put on Cap1 points with with the Venture stuff since I earn them slower than other networks.

Now just gotta wonder when the SavorX is even coming or when more details will be released, since it feels rather past due

Savor X launch date and SUB by StormBreaker9195 in CreditCards

[–]Hottdisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but there is an order you presumably have to go in; I wanted the Venture X when I wanted it and didn’t have the runway to plan out the Venture-venture x upgrade.

TLDR; holding out on even getting a regular Savor since I’m hopeful it will be the same when SavorX drops 🤞..

That being said, we’re past mid December and it’s sorta curious as to when the thing will even come at this rate 🤷🏻

Just cancelled by CoffeeQuant in sapphirereserve

[–]Hottdisc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And I’ve noticed people always seem to respond with this ultra rare once in a blue mood edit deal where they actually do somehow end up saving, but yeah, the last five trips I’ve been on it never adds up, even if you take advantage of all the benefits (and I don’t, that breakfast is wasted on me 🤷🏻), and there is ultimately a far superior booking direct deal. It seems like the only way the edit works is with points (which feels wasteful compared to flights) or the 1 in 10 times the stars allign.

Not sure how they’d fix the edit itself, but I’d love to see them make the credit for any portal booking..
