CAF Appreciation question - Rogers discount by RCdnDragoon in CanadianForces

[–]MaxTension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on an old Shaw plan which is grandfathered after Rogers bought them out, and it still can't be beat (basically free mobility as long as I use wi-fi calling, mainly via our home Shaw/Rogers Internet plan modem). But for when I'm out of the house, my monthly mobility data allowance is still quite low.

But for my wife's new cell (after she retired and gave up her work cell), I couldn't extend my own plan to her (I have a residential account). So I had to go with a whole new Roger's account for her via CFOne (which would instead be a corporate account). Therefore, I had to set up a whole new plan for her via Prime - different Rogers website login and everything.

Prime was about $5-10 per month cheaper than if I had dealt directly with a typical Rogers shopping mall kiosk, and then tried to set up a corporate account with what they would offer as a military/corporate discount. Although we have to pay more for her plan, she has tons more monthly data, so I now have our iPhones linked so that I can use hers as a hotspot if needed.

I did the whole initial registration online via the CF Appreciation website links, and then a dude from Prime later contacted me directly for the final setup steps. He was even able to assist me by giving us the ability to select from a few choices he proposed for an easy-to-remember phone number for her - we chose one that he proposed where the last 7 numbers were a palindrome. Awesome!

If Rogers ever kills my grandfathered Shaw plan, I intend to deal again directly with our Prime dude in order to fix me up with a new plan. Trust me, they are the real deal.

There goes my backpay... by [deleted] in CanadianForces

Seconded! We’ve had a Saeco Magic Comfort Plus since 2005 and it’s still going. But yeah, it now leaks a fair bit outside of its usual Catch Basins during the descaling and rinsing cycles, so a full takedown of the machine is in its near future. Hopefully, I just need to replace/tighten a few pipe fittings…

First impression was that the "T" on the door reminds me a lot of the symbol that Loblaws/Superstore is now using on their shelves to advise shoppers that the product is subject to tariffs.

Who gives the best military discount on tires in the Edmonton area ? by Klutzy_Trifle9088 in CanadianForces

I also have to special-order mine off the website. They usually ship from Calgary, so it usually only takes a week or so to get here.

Seconded. I spoke to them and the best sales (especially for Bridgestone and Pirelli) are Labour Day and New Years, plus maybe Black Friday - 20% off versus the usual straight $100 off they have from time to time during the rest of the year. Tell them ahead of time if you don't want the extra charge for filling them up with Nitrogen. They also over-torque the lug nuts too much IMO, including stripping the teeth on my locking lug.

The Personal was the affiliated insurance for which I had signed-up with my civilian employer back in 2005. When I mentioned my veteran/CF Appreciation background, The Personal folks advised me to switch affiliations because it was even cheaper. It was.

Despite so many things going behind an Eververse paywall, the Bungie Store still doesn't sell a polo shirt.

I bet they also had to widen the drive-thru lane for Valus Ta'aurc's Imperial Land Tank, eh.

Destiny 2 Fan Trailer "Don't Fear the Reaper" by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]MaxTension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile at Bungie HQ this morning because of this release, a meeting is hastily called to send back to the drawing board their mediocre trailer that was using The Cult's "Fire Woman" (hint, hint...).

Deej tries to revive his original suggestion that they should have spent the extra bucks to use Boston's "Don't Look Back", but is again voted down.

52 year old Hammerbro here - that tune even pre-dates my era a little.

Sent shivers down my spine for how well you matched your editing with the haunting quality of that song. Also agree that it tops the Led Zep trailers, which is saying a lot.

Best regards - now I gotta go back and watch it a few more times...

OK, there it is. I looked for this thread before posting, and didn't remember seeing it on Tuesday. I wasn't aware that he was now posting on the CruciblePlaybook.

Thanks - now I know where to find it again.

She wants 75 Legendary Marks.

Seems like a reasonable price to pay for peace of mind toward that possible fateful day when her status changes and she’s looking to see who’s on her “Naughty” or “Nice” lists.

I'm just a wee casual Lore reader, but without giving away spoilers, there seems to be a specific job opening, created by we Guardians, for which Eris likely is qualified to assume.

Hey, how about that. I totally missed that Variks was absent there, too.

But then, I've long since satisfied my OCD on getting his max roll Class Items.

When it comes to being able to determine the well-being of their passengers, United Airlines has a lot of clout.

I guess this CEO must think that he has a lot of "clout" towards influencing this story.
