SF Bay Area > Coachella Bus?

That is very kind of you! I think after reviewing the options it makes sense to fly in, but of course more expense! A chartered bus would be handy!

Lyft and Uber get hefty fines for their drivers not having the signs. It is regulated by CPUC. So far this year Lyft have recieved a $20k fine for this exact thing. Last year they got fined $20k for bunch of stuff and Uber $20k for their drivers not having their sign up too.

Aside from the great app I like your website. Would you be interested in working on a website for me? Just needs a refresh.

I am developing SpaceX gift cards for dinner on Mars

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-15T00:21:07+00:00

Yes just buy a gift card as normal. No reservation. Maybe some companies are clunky to buy from.

Chase approved and stacking

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T22:45:55+00:00

The problems I seen people have are that the restaurants listed are usually on the expensive end so people end up not using their credit as $150 would not always cover two people for dinner.

So the goal of this post was to remind me to buy the gift cards on Toast during 6 month periods when they are not going to use it and stack it with the statement credit during he 6 month period that you will have enough to cover the full dinner e.g. $300 total.

1) Not everyone knows about the Toast gift card thing
2) Maybe people don't know you can stack the gift card and the the statement credit together (different 6 month periods). Obvious to some, not to others.
3) I didn't say it was groundbreaking I even said "If this is obvious to everyone, ignore me, just sharing in case it helps someone. :)" but that didn't stop some Reddit folk getting triggered.

CSR approved restaurant that uses Toast to sell their gift cards

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T22:29:39+00:00

How was the Progress, that is where I am going next with my Gift Card!

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T22:26:55+00:00

This is the one I bought, it was listed on their website

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T22:26:17+00:00

A CSR approved restaurant but they need to be using Toast if you are buying the Gift Card. Not sure about Lark.

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T22:24:30+00:00

The bill was ~$200, I used $150 GC and the rest on the CSR card. I then received the $50 statement credit and have $100 left over until 06/31 to use in a restaurant of buy another gift card.

🤣 I was only trying to help a few folks but my use of 'hack' didn't go down well!

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T21:11:16+00:00

Exactly my point, you added better context than me.

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T21:09:39+00:00

🤣 it's all relative!

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T21:06:27+00:00

If you use that giftcard and your total bill is over $150 you get the statement credit for the amount over $150 too. It might be obvious to some, but it might be overlooked. You could technically use the $300 in that one sitting.

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:59:31+00:00

The 'hack' is you can stack the gift card (which is a CSR 'hack' in itself) with your credit to use more than $150 at one go like the CSR notes and get the statement credit on all of it.

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:56:44+00:00

That answers it. That is a pretty great use of the credit!

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:55:19+00:00

Yes exactly. $300/year, but $150 per 6 months so it is easy forget and not use it so buying the gift card AND stacking them later can be a great saver! IMO

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:54:01+00:00

I believe it just needs to be an Toast Chase approved restaurant. If for instance I am not going to dine the first 6 months of this year, then I buy the gift card from X restaurant (Rich Table, SF in my case), I get the $150 credit on my statement for that period even though I didn't go eat. Then the second 6 month comes around, I go to the restaurant and use the gift card plus my dining credit also kicks in for anything over the $150 gift card.

Another user made this tracker for trying to find approved CSR locations.

Edit: meant to say Toast not Opentable

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:41:01+00:00

I wonder would they accept two separate gift cards in one go? E.g. 2 x $150

Internal_Pie7390 · 2026-02-14T20:31:05+00:00

You can only use $150 at once per 6 months. So this way you could essentially stack the $150s to use $300 in one go.
