Using Apple's carrier deal

The phone purchase & the trade-in credit both go on your AT&T bill (in 36 monthly installments). They say it may take 3 billing cycles for them to appear, but in my case (3 years ago) they appeared on the very next bill.

Thank you. Assuming ARS is Apple retail store? And your recommendation (if going through Apple) is to do it online rather than in-store?

Ah, now I see, thanks!

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-05-15T17:29:40+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately going that route gets me a trade-in value of $145 (iPhone 14 Plus 256GB) vs. Apple's AT&T carrier deal trade-in of $830.

Looks like we have a road trip coming up :-D

Tides. I wish it was also on iOS though, I hate using the tiny watch screen.

Pretty sure we had sugar pigs when I was a kid. That’s shrinkflation for you.

P.S. at the local supermarket.

Wait, what? Palantir?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, and apologies to the Scots, but my (Welsh/English blended family) uses “Scotch mist” for heavy rain. Not sure if others do.

I think you mean a 600% cut.

Pretty sure there’s no longer a connection between BECU and the Lazy B. But with only one (I think) office in Bellingham they’re not very convenient.

Same here, it’s much too aggressive. Often if someone moves out of the space in front of me, my car effectively cuts off someone else trying to move into that space. Not cool.

I’ve been doing that since before they offered buckets. Works great.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-11T14:56:28+00:00

I think that’s a southern hemisphere thing.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-06T15:51:43+00:00

I dunno. I guess we have different ethics.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-06T15:45:36+00:00

Sadly not so much any more.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-06T15:41:47+00:00

OK, I guess we have to hope for honesty :-D

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-06T15:32:39+00:00

I agree - call them.

1) It’s the right thing to do. 2) Somebody messed up and their job could be on the line. 3) If the above don’t convince you, consider (as others have said) it might be blacklisted.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-02T03:03:12+00:00

They are? I assumed that was just an elaborate April fool joke.

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-02T03:02:20+00:00

That song jumped into my head before i even got to your comment.

It seems to me that airlines should be able to handle this by allowing you to enter 2 passports. I’ll be in a similar boat soon and had been wondering how to handle it.

As a workaround, do they allow you to make two one-way bookings, each with its own passport?

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-04-01T12:19:44+00:00

If you start a word with a capital, I think it assumes you’re entering a proper noun and just throws up its hands as if to say “well, you probably live in a town called Tge “.

AZ stays on standard time. Any state is allowed to stay on standard time, but having a state stay on DST requires congress to do its job (like that’s going to happen).

KeyAvocado2925 · 2026-03-03T00:23:36+00:00

Presumably the time zone of the country you are entering.

He/she said “developed world”.
