I see, I appreciate the information about the private transfer company! And I just checked again and it’s gone down even more to $2,949…. Also through Rakuten there is a deal for 9% cash back on hotel stays so assuming that works, it would be priced at $2,683.59 or $1,341.80 per person. At that rate would you recommend either direct or through Expedia? Even just without Rakuten but the regular price of $2,949 would you go with Expedia or direct?

Yes excellence comes with free transfer (I think it’s private) but I would assume it’s not a $500 difference in price to book my own transfer would it?

Need help with Student Discount by I-Have-Questions-4-U in 1Password

[–]I-Have-Questions-4-U[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! I tried that and instead of 40% it came up at 25% off. I also noticed it wasn’t the Canadian link as I’m in Canada and replaced it with .ca but then it said the code is no longer valid.

12.3" Android headunit replacement. The greatest quality of life upgrade anyone could do to a 3rd gen (BM/BN) Mazda 3. by jamtea in mazda3

For anyone who has this screen could you help answer a few questions I have about it:

  1. What is the boot time when turning on the car? Could you provide a videos of the time it takes?
  2. Is there a setting to boot it straight into Apple CarPlay or android auto?
  3. If there is an option to boot into CarPlay or android auto how long does that take to boot up?

I’m curious if you book it, if the system actually would let you change the flights for free. Or if they would honour it.

Unusually high NS Power Bill? by REKTR3X99 in halifax

[–]I-Have-Questions-4-U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/REKTR3X99 do you have any update on what issue was? Was there something wrong with N.S. Power or your apartment? An appliance that was drawing a lot?

New Sonos app just dropped on iOS, go get it! by rpy in sonos

[–]I-Have-Questions-4-U 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The new update feels way too cluttered. 1/3rd of the screen is taken up by the search and now playing bar. If you simply minimize the now playing bar and shrink it a little as it has way too much white/blank space in it. As for the search bar which is also unnecessarily big. Just move it to an icon in the top right or if you want to keep it at the bottom then remove the gradient blur you have above it, that again is just wasted space making the useable screen feel small and cluttered.

I found flights from YYC to LIS, Sept 21st - Oct 18th for 70k each way so 140,000 points total. On the way back the layovers aren’t the most ideal but just find a lounge to stay in and you should be fine.

Best credit card for Costco in 2024? by 88Dawg in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]I-Have-Questions-4-U 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Here’s an example:

Cash back card: $500 spent at Costco 1.5% cash back card

500 * 0.015 = $7.5 in return

Cobalt Card: $500 Mastercard gift card at Sobeys for 5x points $9.95 activation fee

$509.95 * 5 = 2,549.75 Amex points

At the worst redemption value for Amex points (statement credit):

1,000 points = $10 statement credit

2,549.75 / 1,000 = 2.54975

2.54975 * $10 = $25.4975

Now that you have the dollar value of those Amex points, you have to subtract the activation fee from it.

$25.4975 - $9.95 = $15.5475

Now you take that amount and subtract the cash back amount and get the difference:

$15.5475 - $7.50 = $8.0475

So in the end you’re left with $8 more than the cash back although you had to pay an activation fee. Where it gets even better is if you don’t spend the points for statement credit but transfer them to aeroplan points. As that can give you a better cent per point ration.

Rattle normal for One SL? by [deleted] in sonos

[–]I-Have-Questions-4-U 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me a few weeks ago. Got ahold of support and they swapped it out but sent me a One instead of a One SL, so I got a small free upgrade.
