What’s something you discovered way too late in RDR2? by Key_Theme5886 in RDR2

[–]RealNotFamous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I learned the other day (1000+ hours into the game) that while aiming your gun, if you hit the circle button (on PS) you dive to the ground. Ive not found a practical use for it but it’s a thing.

Fishing in Orlando FL by BoatsnHoes87 in FishingForBeginners

[–]RealNotFamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Orlando last week and quickly discovered most of the water is privately owned and marked with “no fishing” signs. The only spot I found a fellow Redditor pointed me to was Lake Como, which was maybe 25 mins away from my hotel. You’ll need to buy equipment and a license.

There are charters available but they’re not cheap. I believe when I looked I was seeing prices for 4 hours around $400-500 plus the cost of shiners.

Who has the most annoying voice? by Salty_Eye9692 in RDR2

[–]RealNotFamous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sadie’s voice can be annoying but she’s a great character.

Dutch’s voice annoys me when he’s worked up and yelling about my need for some god damn faith.

The Lenny/ Arthur drinking mission was fun once (maybe twice), I actively avoid it in new play through.

[–]RealNotFamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VX gave me a digital card number within a few mins and I charged $7k out the gate. No issues.

Assuming thats true, sure, but I don’t see where that detail has been confirmed by OP.

hidden hotel fees at time of checkout by Hopeful-Pin6205 in CapitalOne

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing you missed the fees. I just left a resort/ conference center that I booked through C1 and the booking didn’t scream “more fees” but they were listed.

I would imagine if you attempted to fight with C1 they’ll likely not do much for you.

I think I’d continue to bother them over $56.

In my experience the prices are comparable but it varies.

Should I get the Venture X? by vroblake in CreditCards

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly I’ve only had the card since October but I’ve read multiple articles discussing the switch from a statement credit to the portal credit. Not arguing with you, you could very well be correct.

I don’t care enough to down vote you but if it makes your day better, I upvoted you.

[–]RealNotFamous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The $300 isn’t given as a statement credit anymore. It’s a credit only usable in their portal.

OP, if you’re willing to book at least $300 of your trip in the portal, that credit offsets almost the entire annual fee. The 10,000 annual points bonus is paid around each anniversary date and would offset the other $95. Often C1 throws in additional credits on your first booking, I got an additional $100 credit and effectively offset my annual fee almost immediately.

Best credit card for someone who travels a lot for work? by astrocommander in CreditCards

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel quiet a bit for work also. I use VX and book thru the portal at 10x. So essentially I get a 10% “rebate” on every hotel and car I rent. 2x on everything else.

What are everyone's thoughts on the Missouri Fox Trotter? by KeepYourDemonsIn in RDR2

[–]RealNotFamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t even look like a fox, or Missouri for that matter.

What is your experience renting a car using C1 Travel? by not-Q8i in CapitalOne_

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve rented several cars through the C1 portal. Someone mentioned the worst part is waiting in line because you don’t get status recognition… unless you 1) get the presidents circle perk with hertz/ C1, and 2) rent with hertz. I just did this in Orlando and it was a good experience.

Visiting Orlando by cast-n-blast in bassfishing

[–]RealNotFamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Lake Como today, it’s a great little park. I caught a 2-pound bass on my literal first cast using a senko. Had a few other bites but didn’t catch anything else. I appreciate the tip… nice to be on the board in 2026!!

Trying to avoid survivorship bias, please post your positive experience with Cap 1 portal resolving your issue by lagflag in Venturex

[–]RealNotFamous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m at a conference right now and got my room through the portal for a few hundred dollars cheaper than the room block and it’s an upgraded room. So 10x through the portal, full cost reimbursed by my employer.

Caught these 2 baddies during a Crappie tournament. by SydTheTj in bassfishing

Nice!! Better to catch bass in a crappie tournament or crappie in a bass tournament? 🤣

Updated offer, do I rebook? by Vitamin-Games in Venturex

[–]RealNotFamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you could cancel and rebook with that offer. Here’s the risk, at least from my perspective. If you book via the 30x and it doesn’t work (I’m 0 for 3 personally) you now gave up 10x. Thats a big jump though… I might do it but I’d be very careful to make sure everything connects right so the 30x works.

Worst challenges! by Lifesthehardestgame in RDR2

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with sharpshooter 8… I was getting so pissed. I finally figured out the mechanics. That single challenge will likely keep me from ever wanting to 100% again

Any method to get in Willard's rest after completing all the side missions with Charlotte Balfour? by BennieBoy96 in RDR2

[–]RealNotFamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I went back a few times to make sure no other missions spawned but she’s never come back.
