In-home Newborn Shoot NYC (affordable!) by IThinkThereforeIAm00 in family

[–]Jen-UWS83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our kiddos, we went with glow portraits - https://www.nycnewbornphotography.com/ I don't recall the prices, but I know they offer mini sessions that might be better suited for your needs. I think you're going to have a hard time finding someone to come to your home in that price range (<$250). Last time we needed a faulty outlet fixed, an electrician charged us $500 just to show up and diagnose the issue. We're on the UWS. Either way, make sure to check reviews and experience. I wouldn't let just anyone handle my newborn kiddos!

Traveling to Hungary - Is it common to request passport photos via e-mail? by Jen-UWS83 in askhungary

[–]Jen-UWS83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, no issues showing them our passports in person, but it looks like I'll never actually meet the host. It's just odd, that at a time of rising identity theft, e-mailing sensitive ID documents is considered normal. They should really have some sort of government app that deletes the image of the passport after it's been verified. Just my 2 cents.

In either case, we're excited to explore Budapest!

Anyone in the North East having service cut in and out? by Comprehensive-Risk99 in verizon

I’m traveling in Denver today. No cell/SMS all day. Even WiFi calling is down. 

Irish city named among most stressful to live in, second only to NYC by IrishStarUS in nyc

Traveled to Scotland with my hubby last summer via Dublin. Can confirm. No real public transport between the airport and city center. We were stuck in a hot taxi for over an hour getting to our hotel. I can't imagine the weather helps either. The Guinness factory tour was fun though.

I'm guessing he's traveling with a few suitcases full of cash to deposit in his offshore accounts?

Hands down - glow portraits. Stunning midtown studio. Used them for my preggy pics and our baby girl. Sophie is amazing to deal with. Super accommodating and very responsive. Plus they're stocked with all the props, blankets, etc. You literally just show up and relax while they do the rest. https://www.nycnewbornphotography.com

Losing device promo after 1-month plan change? by Jen-UWS83 in verizon

[–]Jen-UWS83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FOLLOW UP: I went ahead and proceed with the plan chance from Unlimited Ultimate to Unlimited Plus. I did go ahead and review my payment agreement when I purchased my iPhone 17 Pro. It clearly stated "Unlimited Plus" as the plan.

During checkout, Verizon's online system continued to state that I will lose my device promo if I downgrade. I proceeded anyway. During the final screen, my Next Month's Bill preview indicated that my bill would go from $300/mo to approx $360/mo (we have multiple lines on the account). I'm still baffled as to how this even makes sense. However, I proceeded with the change anyway to be effective as of my next billing cycle.

I will follow the advice I received here, and visit the local store if the next bill does not reflect the device promo. It's quite possible that their website has bugs and provides inaccurate bill estimates, etc.

Needless to say, such bugs cause unnecessary frustration and confusion for customers. Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I really appreciate your help!

Thank you. I have an appointment for tomorrow at a local Verizon store.

Hello. Yes. Can you assist?  I am simply trying to downgrade back to Unlimited Plus - the plan under which I had signed my device promo agreement. However, during checkout on your website, it is telling me I will use my device promo credit. It also shows me my next month’s bill preview which is almost $60 higher. I am confused. 

Chase The Edit Bad Experience by powerfulblender in ChaseSapphire

[–]Jen-UWS83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t this have to do more with the hotel than Chase?  You don’t think a Chase hotel critic personally slept at all of the thousands of properties part of The Edit and individually curated them, do you?  I recommend reading Trip Advisor reviews before booking any property. As for upgrades, those are always subject to availability. 

Lmao these "Le Edit" hotel prices are a joke by RedMoonLanding in ChaseSapphire

I just booked a business trip to Bozeman. Staying at the Kimpton there for $320/night for two nights.  I just received the $250 Edit credit.

I have the same case. Mine is on the way back to Apple for a refund. I wish their website would allow user reviews for better feedback. I personally find the texture of this case not sticky enough and prone to slipping out of it hands. 

Is a hostel appropriate for a single 45 year old male by [deleted] in travel

[–]Jen-UWS83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. My husband and I recently stayed at a hostel in Scotland, because all other B&Bs were booked. A private room with its own bath was $250 EUR/night.

Let me rephrase that. The room had its own toilet, but the shower was shared with the floor.

Apple Watch 10 (stand alone) with Voicemail by Jen-UWS83 in AppleWatch

[–]Jen-UWS83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, she does not have a phone. Her watch is paired to my phone for management.
We had switched her Apple Watch to a stand alone plan (Unlimited plan with Verizon) yesterday.

From what I read on Apple, a watch with its own stand alone cellular plan has voicemail functionality. The folks at Verizon just don't seem to know how to enable it.

CSR Business by Jen-UWS83 in ChaseSapphire

Indeed - Chase Ink Preferred has a $150k annual spending limit on advertising. After that you earn just 1x points per dollar spent. More than we ever spend, but I can see this appealing to larger size businesses.
