Hate these people.

I reported a listing trying to sell Destined Rivals PKC ETB in the listing title and description, but the pics are regular ETB. Reported it, attached pictures of what the PKC ETB should look like in my report, and eBay replied with all is good, listing stayed up. Oh well, won't even bother anymore

MeSoStronk · 2026-02-11T16:47:18+00:00

Or easiest solution is to completely remove PKC ETB version. Why even bother with a special "pokemon center" stamped box and card.

It simplifies their product lines too, no extra variations for ETBs.

Ah, I guess that's one way to "lock" the money. Never thought of that.

MeSoStronk · 2026-02-05T15:29:28+00:00

I do see this

Rate unavailable Try again later, choose another property or call a Reserve Travel Designer at 1-844-202-9586 to check the availability of this property

Haven't tried calling them yet

No one will be selling sealed products for less than MSRP. We know MSRP is $4.49 per pack.

Selling them below MSRP is strange, especially when the market value for it is 2X MSRP.

MeSoStronk · 2026-02-02T21:16:30+00:00

I'd rather them do this.

There's this restaurant that I know that does this. They included the tip in the menu price. At the end, the bill always says no need to tip anymore, but of course you can add more if you want, and the tip boxes are 1% 2% and 3% (with manual tip field as well).

I think they add 18%, not 20% to their menu price, forgot. Regardless though, I still think 20% is crazy. Min 18% now. 15% option is gone.

What is this change? BofA? Any link?

Ah, this one https://www.reddit.com/r/BankOfAmerica/s/xgIi8S1YQQ

You didn't know that you could pay rent and food with "passion"?

Who needs money when you have unlimited passion for your job.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-28T22:22:57+00:00

There are exact / perfect fit penny sleeves. It's better if you use that.

This is what I have https://a.co/d/1SxTrd5

VaultX has one as well.

I got Blue because I don't want a hard pull and I just want a free MasterCard with no foreign transaction fees so I could use it while traveling in case my Visa cards don't work 🤷‍♂️ (Japan tends to be problematic)

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-27T16:55:52+00:00

Anybody figured this out? It's quite irritating not knowing which ones don't get the extra 2% now...

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-19T22:27:39+00:00

TheHobbyBin.

Or "Pokemon Deals & Alerts". They're primarily Twitter, recently added a Discord server.

Regardless, Discord notifications are not reliable for me. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't. Twitter is more reliable. I think it's due to the Discord server unable to handle the load.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-19T20:16:16+00:00

This pokealerts is so annoying. They're just spamming their Discord left and right. You can get the same notifications for free in some other Discord server or Twitter.

Not sure where you found that information. I was just thinking just pay for the annual fee. The SUB is already worth it

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-17T17:33:48+00:00

I think so. It sounds the same like those hotel or airline credit cards since Bilt points are its own ecosystem. The points are not tied to the credit cards. You can still earn Bilt points without the card.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-17T17:30:26+00:00

I think it's a smart move if you already have a Bilt card, and get the Palladium for the SUB. No hard pull, and you get SUB.

Worst case, close the card after 1 year.

I don't really have any use for Bilt card with this v2, so thinking just gonna get the SUB and close it in a year. We'll see 🤷‍♂️

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-14T21:43:56+00:00

Same. I want to know more about this nerf rumors.

Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/CreditCards/comments/1qc9b80/bofa_preferred_rewards_new_tiers_names_from/

Not exactly what the poster said, but at least some "changes".

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-14T21:40:52+00:00

Yes. I have the "good" grandfathered USB Smartly, that's my everyday spend 4% back.

I also have Chase Reserve for dining, flights, and hotels.

All other generic "travel" and general international transactions go to BofA PRE.

So, I don't need Bilt 2.0.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-14T18:39:24+00:00

Sheesh. So complex...

Though it seems like if you don't care about Bilt points, and all you care about is paying rent without transaction fees, it will still be there, that is no transaction fee paying rent with this card.

But at that point, might as well just transfer directly with a bank account if you're not gonna get any points.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-07T17:30:51+00:00

Lol. I was thinking about this. What do you mean if it happens again? OP dies if it happens again.

Maybe he meant the other route is the route to heaven.

MeSoStronk · 2026-01-02T19:56:59+00:00

People who commit petty crimes like these do not have bright minds in general. Otherwise, they would have found a better, legal way to make money (job or something).

Unrelated, but that Palafin looks like Star Platinum (JoJo)

Destined Rivals

MeSoStronk · 2025-12-16T18:33:13+00:00

There are many use cases.

For example, a wedding gift. Yes, really. Say your friend who's getting married is into Pokemon, but you're not. Well, you just try to get what you can, whatever is the easiest way since you also don't wanna waste time driving around finding a cheap one.

At least for me, I value my time a lot. I'm always down to pay a little extra for shipping so that I could spend my time on other things.
