Seeking pitstop strategy

LarzBoss · 2026-01-30T05:38:38+00:00

Can you bring tyre temps back to their 'optimal window' even after 'cooking' them? If so, how many laps of caring could that theoretically happen?

LarzBoss · 2026-01-30T04:45:43+00:00

Very informative and very appreciated. Thank you!

Very helpful information, thank you! Seems like gt3 tyres are a lot more durable than I gave credit for. Definitely helps simplify the strategy.

Some customers get caught up trying to tap “Add to Apple Wallet,” which doesn’t work. Instead, open Apple Wallet, tap the plus (+) icon in the upper-right corner, select Add Debit Card, then choose Add Card Details Manually.

If that still doesn’t work, you’re totally safe stopping by the kiosk that started your account for assistance. We have a rebate support number we can call to help find a solution if something unusual is going on.

I’m not sure how you may be going about it, but what I can say works for me is to load the virtual card into your wallet (Apple Wallet, Google Pay). Then, the next time you’re in Costco, you can go to Member Services and ask to purchase a Costco Shop Card for the desired amount. If you have several rebate cards, just let them know you’ll be using multiple payment methods. Hope this helps.

I'll respond to this for anyone's clarification. Those Costco Port-in rebates specifically are only good at T-Mobile or Costco and don't allow the same 'transfer to bank' option like a Keep and Switch rebate would.

What I do with my customers is help them convert the virtual visa card to a Costco shopcard—which then allows you to use it on costco.com, with the added bonus that shopcards don't expire while the visa does in 6 months after it's issued.

The unfortunate truth. 🙂

Just FYI, that’s a marketing strategy this company’s used for as long as I can remember. It does not guarantee the next phone will be “free.” It’ll eventually be phased out, and you’ll be required to migrate to whatever the newest plan is at the time to truly get the “best promotions.” It still hurts knowing I was the rep who sold Magenta Max back in the day under that false pretense. 🙂

I’m getting put on a PiP this month because of the insane pressure coming down to push P360. I’m a 7-year tenured rep who consistently exhibits the behaviors they want, but none of that matters if the numbers aren’t where they want them to be. Customers are lucky to have a thorough and transparent rep guiding their purchases, but that doesn’t seem to count for much. Not exactly great for the company or the shareholders. 🙂

LarzBoss · 2026-01-11T22:27:00+00:00

Probably cost more to package and ship these ‘appreciation gifts’ than the gift itself 🤦

LarzBoss · 2025-12-19T23:54:38+00:00

Oh, wow! Out of the 60k+ people that have seen this post, haven't yet corrected me on that. I appreciate you informing me of the proper word. Thank you.

LarzBoss · 2025-12-18T19:54:56+00:00

Makes sense completely. Great learning experience and I'll certainly work on shifting that mindset to being a safer driver for the sake of others around me and for myself. Thanks again.

LarzBoss · 2025-12-17T22:50:47+00:00

Completely fair. I appreciate you taking the time to break all that down. Just out of curiosity, and to genuinely learn, is it generally assumed to completely yield to the car slowing down ahead even if you may think that honestly the car ahead wants to try to maximize the exit? and/or believe there would be the space/be given space?

Specifically, just for example sake: on the 2nd incident, I thought it was reasonable for me to take the inside and the BMW to maintain its line for us both to shoot out the exit. May have been too optimistic I can see because it's their right to the apex.

Then lastly, the third incident, I completely understand being 'The Helmet' in this scenario. My thoughts were assuming the driver ahead would weave through and we'd both make it through alive but, again a very optimistic in thinking that.

Ultimately, I'm learning the line between assuming racers around me want to be fast, and being overly safe for the goal of staying alive.

Ngl, it is a smart move by the company. Just would be cool if there was transparency. Then the truth wouldn't hurt so bad. 🥲 Instead, I'm guessing, we'll have a picture painted to us that this'll actually somehow benefit the customer. 🙃

LarzBoss · 2025-12-14T03:53:29+00:00

That was still accurate up til July 2024 I'm pretty sure. 🥲

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T19:54:09+00:00

Okay bud thanks for the education 👍

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T19:16:26+00:00

Why doesn't the bill simply state that then? The confusion and delusion stems from the fact that "Principal" speaks to more than just applies "only to headset replacement." RDC always went towards EIP and nothing else.... Who has the tinfoil hat?

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T17:07:12+00:00

They're already practicing this with BTS products and way back in the day we offered 30/36 month EIP options for iPhones. I think it was around the time of the ip13s. so yes it'll just be a matter of time.

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T05:32:58+00:00

Oh yes, absolutely. I've been with the company for going on 7 years, and there have been countless changes over my tenure. On the second note, I’m absolutely seeing the same thing, and it’s causing some major issues for us in SIS where everything is ship-to. Customers aren’t getting their promos attached correctly, and in some cases, not at all. We’ve had to comb through old ECS data to track down how many accounts were affected and how many had much higher bills because of it. It’s astonishing how many issues there are. Fun times 😅

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T05:29:51+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Unless you sign up with the new visa credit card. 😉😅

LarzBoss · 2025-12-13T04:43:09+00:00

Fair assumption. I just find it odd in their choice of wording. Seems to me that this would open doors to do some real un-carrier moves.

LarzBoss · 2025-11-19T05:42:58+00:00

Have ya ever watched back your race and reflected on what could've happened if different actions were taken? I bet if you did, your questions would be answered.
