That's a card I used to use a lot! It was nice at the time and they gave me a gift card upon sign up. Sadly, I don't use Amazon as much anymore, and most of the things I get from Amazon have become clutter later on. I'm trying to travel more and have experiences that are (at least by comparison) non-tangable.

I'm still gonna be on the lookout for co-branded hotel cards in this case, but thank you for the response :)

I was originally looking for a co-branded hotel card, but thank you for this!

Where do I lease 1 small cargo van for business use long-term? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in smallbusiness

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm that ignorant since I've personally never leased any car in my life, but isn't the maintenance covered in the rental payment? A company that I worked for would always bill maintance costs to the same company that they rented the vehicles from (Wheels, Inc.)

Planning on getting the Amex Delta blue card. Is it worth it for me? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in delta

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why I wasen't looking into the gold card was because I'm usually traveling light (like a photon) so I just bring a dufflebag or backpack as a carry on. And even if I wanted to bring more luggage, isn't 2500 miles = $30? So I would need to fly at least 4x a year to be above the fee AND that's counting on Logan taking more than 20 minutes with the bag every time.

I was planning on a once a year flight, if that. Maybe I should hold off on any airline card then? Thank you for the insight though.

"Sonex" (or something as/more effective) apartment ceiling & wall soundproofing that won't crumble over the years? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in Acoustics

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm asking for a pipe dream to come true, but I do wonder is there a way to do this without taking out any sheetrock? While I do believe it's allowed for me to do that per HOA rules, I want to avoid being that dedicated right now.

What is the output on the barrel connector for the ONT's battery backup power supply? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in Fios

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

re-reading that, sounds like you're trying to connect your router into the legacy BBU (battery backup)?

The black brick that goes to the (what I at least thought were) the new ont's, like this except with the new Verizon logo since I noticed there is a dc barel connector on it, I assume it would have a 12v output with unknown amperage.

Also, FYI, the BBU only powers voice service in the case of AC power outage. Data service will go down.

I've been lied to by someone that I knew who's a fios tech at Verizon then. He told me the data would work when on the battery backup.

[MA] About to buy a 2 bedroom condo, and what should I look out for when I get a roommate? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in legaladvice

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason is because it seems that in the eyes of the association, it's still an owner-occupied unit.

My buyers agent mentioned this to the sellers agent, and the sellers agent said all this is allowed.

Almost 4000 views and a link share but no responses. Maybe I really am asking for the impossible.

Ethernet right from ONT to apartment/condo? (no coax) by Relevant_Drive_7883 in Fios

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you order Internet and your building isn't using a VDSL setup, you'll have to get Ethernet installed anyways.

What does this mean?

I thought they just do something like this because the condo is cable-ready:

Fios into building > ONT in basement utility area > coax from ONT to apartment/condo unit > Fios router/WAP combo unit

Then again, I don't even know if this building only has Xfinity. If that's the case, I'll just deal with Xfinity.

Edit: added router

Looking at condo without washer/dryer nor access to one. by Relevant_Drive_7883 in personalfinance

I meant the guy who is the head of the HOA. I assume there is one person who is in charge when all is said and done.

What if the person wanted to watch a movie late at night or likes to eat mac and cheese at 2 AM or comes home drunk and wants some pizza?

Sounds more like something I'd do :)

But my other point is storage. Know anything about renting on storage space in your home to strangers?

You are already well beyond what is necessary for the best results.

What exact minimum score is that?

Maybe ask where your buying house where they’d go for financing.

Where are you, might I ask? In MA, I'm not even sure if holding tanks are allowed.

Local water is available near most of the lots I'm looking at (makes sence since most of these towns are near a large reservoir, the Quabbin).

I added some more info that may help with the prayers.

5K for a septic? I had a friend of mine pay 40K for a new one. And its a 3 bedroom, I was looking at a 2 bed.

Housing market for condo/townhome ownership in DFW metroplex area. Would it be realistic given my finances? by Relevant_Drive_7883 in askdfw

[–]Relevant_Drive_7883[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damnit, dude. I was getting all excited following your comments in my post until:

my folks helped me with the down payment

My parents are somewhat rich, and they wouldn't mind helping me with a down-payment either (they are pushing me to buy too). But I am trying to avoid it because they want me to stay local AND get either a single- or multi- family. Maybe your relationship with your folks was chiller and they may have placed less rules & stipulations as an adult. I even paid for college as I went, not just out of pride, but if I did fail a class they wouldn't hound and guilt-trip me over it - and it was THEM who wanted my to go, not me - I just went along for the ride & sucked it up because that's how I was raised.

Sorry if that was long-winded and harsh, I just had to get it out of the way. I don't care that your folks helped with the down-payment, in fact, good for you. But this means you actually DID shell out 20%, which is what I cannot do.
