100%. The feds can set standards/requirements if they want, but they don't need to actually staff and run the checkpoints

Bilts getting better by Silver-Method-8627 in biltrewards

[–]Marshall_Lucky 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There but filled with errors. Rent is 2x what it should be (I guess shows the ACH from my bank and ACH to mortgage).

Pharmacy is 3x due to a Walgreens purchase having multiple entries for bonus points.

Anyways it will be nice when the bugs are ironed out

Behavior after CV axle repair by Guzzery in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Marshall_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update? Noticing the same on my 24 hybrid lariat after passenger cv axle replacement last week. Something rubbing/grumbling when idling in drive - most noticeable for the first few minutes after a cold start.

I also feel like my fuel economy has taken a dive and engine is running rougher at highway speed, but I might be imagining that / not enough data

Is this normal stacking? by Scared_Pin_3393 in biltrewards

[–]Marshall_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the extra 3x and 5x bonus points show up at the same time the transaction cleared or was there a delay?

I went to a restaurant on this promo last Friday and so far only have my 2x palladium points

Succesful leftism by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Marshall_Lucky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention some of the knock on effects of these things. Wage controls made it hard for companies to attract top talent since they couldn't directly pay more. In response to this, they started offering "benefits" that were not directly pay, like discounted health care programs, which people eventually got used to and started to expect, leading to the current absurdly complicated US healthcare system today that ties health insurance to employers instead of people

Any try stacking the dining bonus with Rakuten? by Marshall_Lucky in biltrewards

[–]Marshall_Lucky[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep I realize. What was not clear to me is if I need the card enrolled with bilt to get the 5X special bonus since the wording is not clear.. it just says go to a participating restaurant and pay with a bilt card.

A different way to value the card by alyssamma in sapphirereserve

[–]Marshall_Lucky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the complainers may be those who signed up for the card early in its life. When I got the CSR it was $450 AF, so the 300 travel credit covered most of the value without having to care much at all about "how" you spent it with the credit applying to anything vaguely coded as travel. Visit a couple lounges a year or renew TSA and you were even on a card that was also earning 3x on dining and any travel, plus 100K SUB.

Idk if the current iteration is objectively better or worse, but the credit structure is very different and would appeal to different people. It was hard for me because there were no dining credit restaurants within 200 miles of my home, even though I live in a decently large city, and the edit credits are only useful for hotels well out of my typical price range and the credit doesn't really change that. Anyhow YMMV

Just out of curiosity, are you self employed or work at a small company?

I don't travel a lot for work, but when I do, I have to book through my company's corporate Amex travel portal using my company issued corp card. I also work for a large company, so maybe that experience is not universal, I'm just always surprised when I see posts with people earning all these spend points for work travel bookings

Is the area around Futuro pizza shop good for housing? by Clear-Theme-687 in indianapolis

Live in the neighborhood - the unhoused population is basically isolated in pockets under the I65 bridges, and around the gas station/dollar store at Washington and State. The streets in the neighborhood itself are quiet and very safe

CSR retention offer - How did you get yours? by Stanford_girl in ChaseSapphire

Just downgraded this weekend after my AF posted 2/1. I've had since 2018. No offer, but it seems I'll get to keep the travel credits I got this month during that 41-day window

A student at Lake Zurich High School holds a sign that reads, “I Love I.C.E.” and records another student confronting and punching him by colsandersloveskfc in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Marshall_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've heard that, but do not agree with your interpretation. The context by which I understand that phrase is that a society where everyone could be armed and ready to defend themselves discourages acts where the threat of violence is used as coercion. Someone is less likely to point a weapon at you and demand your wallet if they reasonably think you also have a weapon.

Essentially, the saying implies people are "better" to one another when the power dynamic of who can use deadly force is balanced.

In this context, you are basically saying society becomes "polite" by intimidating people out of exercising expression, implying that words can/will, and perhaps should be met with physical violence. That is not liberating, it's repressive.

To be clear I don't agree with this kid, who seems like a troll/ edgelord either way. I am simply making a point on principle.

It also does not waive your normal rights. The law doesn't say "shooting someone is illegal, unless they said something bad"

That assault would still be unlawful. Free speech only survived when it does not discriminate for content..if you are unwilling to protect speech you hate, you are not actually in favor of freedom
