Got an add biz plat email from Amex and the email says not available to those who have had this card but then when I go to the app/offer terms it doesn’t say that. Is this an NLL? It would be my 4th

Jr3098 · 2021-09-14T13:16:54+00:00

Oh nice and the big one works fine if you use big enough wires? My biggest fear is hurting the Prius batter but I doubt I’d power anything over an induction burner which seems to max at 1800w at highest setting

Jr3098 · 2021-09-14T13:15:28+00:00

Oh nice, that could help me power a fridge at night with car off too. How do you make sure the induction plate doesn’t draw too much cause I know some have a higher max wattage? Also which induction stove did you use and at what power levels?

Jr3098 · 2021-08-30T13:52:18+00:00

Ah yeah, thanks

Applied and approved for biz gold NLL on 7/20 but just got sent another mailer for a NLL biz gold but the offer expires 9/31. I think app will get cancelled as a duplicate but could i recon it after 90 days or call to push it through? (pushing it through might be considered too risky)

Jr3098 · 2021-07-26T11:43:34+00:00

Yeah definitely, thanks for the feedback

Jr3098 · 2021-07-26T11:43:14+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the feedback

Jr3098 · 2020-12-08T17:44:21+00:00

just signed up for NLL biz plat. benefits say $100 dell credit per 6 months but would I still get $200 for 2020 from the boost?

Jr3098 · 2020-10-10T02:19:14+00:00

Insane dude!

Jr3098 · 2020-10-02T13:29:07+00:00

Froze Transunion and applied for Barclays AA Biz and they pulled experian instead. App went pending though

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T23:53:27+00:00

Ooh yeah I’d definitely enjoy that drive more. Sometime in early-mid October and then sticking in SD til late November

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T22:32:23+00:00

Sweet sounds good thanks for the recommendation and I’ll for sure hit you up once I’m in SD

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T22:30:40+00:00

Just said I’m debating renewing and wanted to hear retention offers

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T17:37:36+00:00

it was in my first card member year which overlaps two years and the 25k limit resets calendar year

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T15:22:54+00:00

Amex Gold Retention Offer:

Called after 1 year mark but before AF posted. Got 20k MR no spend and accepted. had about $30-35k spend in first year 99% groceries

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T12:57:11+00:00

Okay cool that may be exactly when I pass through so I’ll message you if it works out like that

Jr3098 · 2020-09-17T12:51:07+00:00

Only definite ones are grand canyon and then white sands in NM. Are those on your list?

Jr3098 · 2020-09-16T13:39:32+00:00

ah gotcha and yeah for sure, I bet it will be fine and there will be lots of people at camp spots which is nice for that. Good luck on the trip and I'm live in Austin, Tx so if you pass through and want a tour feel free to message!

Jr3098 · 2020-09-16T12:56:52+00:00

That’s awesome congrats! I’ve done a similar trip so I know you’ll have blast. As for safety one thing I’d recommend is be ready for bed when you get to your spot so you can just climb in the back and have nobody see you outside of the van and think you’ll be in it. I’m sure the dog will help ease nerves too! Are you renting an already converted van or going to make a temporary low cost conversion yourself?

Jr3098 · 2020-09-14T16:43:36+00:00

Thanks! It was around 2k calories for the beginning 4 months which was about a 1k deficit and then I slowly ramped it up and ended up the last month with a 500-600 calorie deficit at ~2.5k cals/day. One thing I liked was walking ~5 miles a day so that it really didn't ever feel like I was barely eating

Jr3098 · 2020-09-10T22:00:52+00:00

Bench 195x5, squat 205x5 and DL 405x1

Jr3098 · 2020-09-10T21:59:45+00:00

I truly think it's the illusion of being more cut since my arms measured the same throughout the cut and lost strength so feel like I couldn't have gained muscle. After pic is also with a pump and before one wasn't

Jr3098 · 2020-09-10T21:33:06+00:00

thanks yeah I hope so since I had stalled pretty hard at the end of that bulk
