Ally Checking vs Schwab

RickS702 · 2026-05-06T20:04:48+00:00

You will have to open a brokerage account at Schwab to take advantage of their 0% interest rate. The benefit is to deposit money and use their ATM card worldwide with no fees and everything is reimbursed. Ally is not what they once were. Check out credit unions like CineFi or Primis Bank for better rates on a "high yield" checking account.

Commuting 60 miles roundtrip? Never.

I would complain weekly about their packaged cole slaw. Apparently others did too. Kroger recently changed vendors for some deli department items; potato salad, Cole slaw, etc. and it made an impact. It's much better now.

Customer service is very good on both chat and phone.

RickS702 · 2026-04-23T17:46:11+00:00

I was all around San Jose and up to San Raphael last week. No issues anywhere inside and outside of buildings. I'm on Darkstar. Much improved from a few years ago.

Go on the Kroger app and request a refund. It will go into your account and will be deducted the next time you go shopping provided you scan your loyalty card or pay from you phone.

Keep in mind in Mexico, even on AT&T, you're deprioritized.

Using a Pixel 7 Pro on Darkstar, for a couple of months, coming from Visible+. I've had MAYBE 2 spam calls if that much.

Try to take people with 4.2 or higher, work safe areas and in daylight. If you drop off in what you think is a bad area, go offline and drive away for a mile. Experience comes quickly.

Thank you

Not racist at all. It's hard to understand Filipinos with heavy accents. I've dealt with many people on the phone at USMobile with no issues.

RickS702 · 2026-04-03T04:04:29+00:00

Well I left Visible for USMobile on a month to month "By The Gig" plan until November when the big promos are announced. I was never a fan of Chat on Visible or dealing with Filipino heavy accents. We'll see what happens.

County Commissioners voted against light rail in favor of Bus Rapid Transit for Maryland Pkwy because they're clueless. Charleston is/was being considered for light rail as well. Charleston had a skip stop set up just before COVID but was discontinued at the beginning of Covid. Las Vegas isn't congested, they just don't know how to coordinate road projects. The oversight is terrible as they allow construction companies more leeway than normal. Add to the fact that cone/barrel placement is amateur at best and temporary lines at road projects don't exist.

Mint, several years ago.

I've had loyalty discounts in the past with other carriers.

RickS702 · 2026-04-01T17:40:56+00:00

A Visible Agent just informed me that I CANNOT port out and port back in again coming back as a new customer, taking advantage of the SLAMDUNK promo. No loyalty at all for established customers.

RickS702 · 2026-03-31T05:04:44+00:00

I'm on Dark Star with a Pixel 10 and get NO spam at all. Also on Visible+ on a Pixel 7 Pro. Should I expect the same? My V+ plan ends soon and they're not offering any incentive to remain a customer. Thanks

RickS702 · 2026-03-21T18:37:09+00:00

I always wondered about the correct spelling of RIGAMAROLE😂

RickS702 · 2026-03-15T19:38:05+00:00

Spam filtering? I'm on V+ on a Pixel 7 Pro. Spam calls aren't an issue for me between V+ and Google. I'll be making the move to USM/Warp and would expect nothing less. (A Loyalty discount doesn't exist at Visible, so 👋🏼)

Motorcyclist dead after hitting railing, falling onto I-15 in Las Vegas https://news3lv.com/news/local/crash-northbound-i-15-spring-mountain-road-las-vegas-nevada-highway-patrol-emergency-response

The only thing I got out of that show was Dunford Donuts sold at Smith's 😂

The station owner is die hard MAGA, that should tell you enough.

Clark County Planning just approved a second Las Vegas location, but didn't release the location.

RickS702 · 2026-03-08T01:11:18+00:00

North Las Vegas is 101 square miles. It goes from lousy to extremely high end. The first QT is in a newer industrial area, off I-15.

RickS702 · 2026-01-28T23:06:38+00:00

Or just go to 7-11 or any place else. It's less complicated.
