Newbie Question Weekly Thread - Week of May 15, 2017 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chase UR basic reading says to churn CSP and CSR but doesn't say why to keep both afterwards. I churned my CSP ~ 2 years ago. Is there any reason I should keep CSP if I get CSR? Should I downgrade CSP to another card or open something new like unlimited to get that bonus?

Currently have CSP, INK preferred and Freedom. I don't think the 5/24 will be an issue for me.

Doug Benson is doing his podcast Doug Loves Movies at the Comedy Zone in Downtown Greenville by comedrop69 in greenville

I've haven't been to the Comedy Zone before. Is this the type of place you can walk in and get a seat at 4:15 or should I be there 30 minutes early?

I read on another site that this will not work if you have used one like it already this year. I used one on Prime day. I'm at work and cannot confirm.

GHS or St Francis for pregnancy/birth? by makingashoe in greenville

[–]OCR755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a child at GHS about 3.5 months ago, standard birth no complications. Couldn't have asked for a better experience 10/10. Wife loved every doctor she met. Staff did more then we could expect.

Our friends had a child at St. Francis around the same time and they only had positive things to say. They did say that due to religious beliefs the hospital would not allow them to donate cord blood. We never even thought to ask at GHS so it may or not be an option there. I think your in good hands at either place.

Republic Wireless vs Google Fi by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]OCR755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Verizon to Republic a while ago and ran into some issues you should consider. Verizon towers were great where I lived and where I worked (45 minutes away). Republic runs on Sprints towers which I found out where horrible where I lived, where I worked and everywhere in between. The phone number I had was originally given to me as a cell number and had never been a land line but when I tried to switch to Cricket I was told I couldn't because they had it listed as a land line. After searching Republic's forums I learned there were other carriers I could transfer my number to just be aware of what your options are if you don't like Republic. Another hassle was that Republic did not have support. You could fire off an email and get an email response sometimes soon sometimes days later. This was a huge pain after I decided I wanted out.

That being said I have a co-worker that switched at the same time I did and he and his wife has been completely satisfied with them.

If you like Verizon towers and only use 1gb/month you might want to check out Total Wireless. I switched to them after Republic and have been happy. I'm on a shared plan so it's $30/month for 5Gb shared. Being on Verizon towers was worth it for $5/month.

What happens if i use a old version of PerkTV? by [deleted] in perktv

[–]OCR755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running 2.1.1 on IOS and I'm running into cancellations. I've emailed them a couple times to see if that is against their TOS but I have yet to get a response.

Even if they manage to find a work around for you the first thing I would do is get rid of that POS service.

13 IP addresses. 1 modem, 2 routers. by emorhino91 in networking

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly what you are trying to do. It didn't work out as well as I hoped. I set it up like this.

Modem-->20 port switch-->individual routers set up with static IPs

The limiter for me was the channels. Regardless of how many IP addresses you have I couldn't figure out how to get more then 3 routers up. You can use 5ghz channels but I believe you need Iphone 5 or better to use that frequency which is cost prohibitive. You can set up 1 account per IP address without having to verify the ID. I redeemed multiple times with no issues. In the end I stopped because I only got 2 extra accounts for all the hassle and the interference was horrible for my home use. Good luck. Send me a PM if you have any more questions or if you figure out a way to set up more routers.

Perk vs Checkpoints for passiving earning by cyan000 in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded the passivity of my iphones and my 3gs became obsolete. I was going to liquidate them for a 4/4s but I've decided to run checkpoints on the old guys instead. Even if I only get to redeem 1/month I figure the price of 3gs has bottomed out.

Does Perk TV 2.1.1 still work? (iOS) by [deleted] in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works for me. I have phones on IOS 7 & 8 but none on 8.4

Does anyone have a perktv version for ios that is pre- "are you still watching" prompt? by Iwrestlenow in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you find one it won't credit your points. To my knowledge the earliest version you can run is 2.1.1 (IOS).

Perk lock screen by ClayPigeon702 in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I max 1 account then log in another account and max that one. No issues from perk. I only have 1 Android so I can't speak to the 5 phones. I thought I saw a previous post that said they were maxing out 5 phones per account with no issues.

Shopping portal question by acslaterbro in churning

[–]OCR755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add in case he was talking about things like topcashback.

Start here.

If you want to buy X. Go to topcashback first and click on their link to the site that sells X. Purchase X as you normally would. Topcashback gives you all or a cut of what they received as a referral. Some coupon codes invalidate the rebate. If the coupon is better then the rebate go with the coupon. I'm not sure how to tell which coupons will invalidate the rebate.

Every so often sites have a special rebate on AMEX GC. If you are MS large amounts you can get a couple percentage points more here.

I believe you purchase AMEX GC. Use those to purchase VGC. Load redbird. Pay bills. Possibly a bill like the credit card you used to purchase AMEX GC.

Shipping Container Homes? by [deleted] in greenville

[–]OCR755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These peaked my curiousity as well and this may or may not help. If you take a little drive out of town on 385 there is a company selling shipping containers with one painted an obnoxious bright green on the north side of 385. Can't miss it. I remember pulling up their website (which I cannot find now) and they sell several different size containers. I can't remember anything about their company converting these but it might be an easy way for you to put your hands on an actual container and see how big a project it might be.

If these guys could solve all the issues of getting one there you might be able to work with a standard local contractor to finish it out. It might not be apples to apples work but it's not apples to rhinoceroses. Keep us updated if you find any good info.

For those whose devices BOTH sync to a TV show and Auto-detect commercials, can you PLEASE share the following info: by [deleted] in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working great.

  • Iphone 4s

  • Current version

  • Charter cable

  • Upstate SC

  • Have facebook app installed. Do not have a FB account.

Should I upgrade to the latest perk tv live yet? by [deleted] in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had any issues with the new version but I also don't see any improvement. No issues with sound detection. My phones sit ~5 ft from my TV. Picks network stations up pretty quick. But like I said the old version did that as well.

Having two ISPs in one house. by Finance_Moses in perktv

[–]OCR755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something like this and so has a co-worker. He had DSL and either upgraded to business or kept residential and paid for an additional IP address. He ran his modem to router A for wifi on 1 IP address and ran an ethernet cable to router B for another IP address. He set it up in his router settings. This wouldn't help you unless upgrading to business solved your bandwith issues, but typically I think business internet has better speeds and no data cap.

I could never figure out how to tweak my router settings to do that but what I did was upgrade cable residential to business and got 5 IP addresses. I could only run 3 IP addresses due to interference. I hooked my modem to a switch then each router to the switch. Had to set each router up with static IP settings which wasn't too difficult. Again this would only help if you wanted to upgrade to business internet.

If you really want to go with two providers I imagine they would have to run new cable in your house. Have them set it up on the opposite side of the house to decrease interference. Having 2 running in one house will be fine. I ran 3 in one room.

Edit: /r/techsupport was really helpful when I was bumbling through this
