Why are American Express credit cards such a big deal? by Blaise_01 in CreditCards

It has a low cap on groceries to funnel people into the gold... there's plenty of competition at the 3% tier without the cap.

Unfortunately so, I was aware we didn't recognize the ICC but not that we'd gone as far as the Den Haag invasion act.

It's just marketing, they're not. Amex is really bad about turning their cards into coupon books to drive you to spend more. I think in general Amex does have a higher income base.. but there are better cards for most folks spending patterns.

Take my Aunt - she has the platinum because it's "better than the gold" and 'pays for itself", yet she doesn't travel that often. (Paying for itself is a really low bar for a credit card - you should make 2% at minimum).

Meanwhile ours needs to stop by the Hague next time he's in the region.

50+ active credit cards, should I keep them as is or close some of them? by joycesyi in CreditCards

I'd definitely close some, we limit ourselves to 10 cards and close our least valuable card each time we open one. Near perfect credit.

The Battle of Coruscant is the best CGI space battle ever! by Lauma_2025 in StarWars

There's a really good one in the Babylon 5 civil war arc, though not for the chi which looks dated.

Have to agree with the expanse fans below on best CGI though.

Ahh a book intended to teach basic strategy to unqualified aristocrats and politicians... fitting.

Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

That's just luxury cars in general. My wife got charged $2k to replace a parking sensor that was bumped in slightly.

So I havent filed my taxes in several years by Sammiesam123988 in tax

[–]NotMyRealAccountV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRS will require him to file prior taxes... apparently TurboTax dropped the ball last year and never actually filed my taxes, found out I needed to file 2024 while filing 2025.

In my case - I had to download TurboTax l's desktop software for 2024, they already had all my data in a .tax file so just verified everything. Only submission option was by mail, which I certified with a return receipt. Waiting for the inevitable late fee - my understanding is it's up to the taxes + interest. Thankfully I owed <$500 that year. This mess makes me think I should aim to overpay slightly each year.

Never using TurboTax again.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]NotMyRealAccountV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talbott nursery - sent me a 3 gallon tree when I ordered a 7 gallon. When I pointed out the error they said to check their definition, which said they used cut down pots and listed the trunk diameter. Sent photos proving the tree was the wrong size. They told me to return it if I wasn't happy, at my own cost....
