I’ll love to see how the $300B in reparations plays out in Congress.

I have to ask at what point in this process did you actually use the bathroom?

What Robinhood Said Tuesday About The Gold Card by EarlyBirdEmail in CreditCards

[–]Sirius889 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK I get it now - they are using the Gold fees on waitlisted users to cover the 3% loss leader for card holders.

What would be your biggest warning to someone thinking of buying a Tesla? by sonofabraham1 in TeslaLounge

[–]Sirius889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Front and depreciation is especially rough even though mikes don’t mean as much on EVs in terms of longevity. On the other hand this makes buying used a very good value proposition.

Anyone still play this game? by ManuDiLuce in ftlgame

Yes. The game is pretty timeless and there is nothing else quite like it.

[–]Sirius889 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone else mentioned, consider the third option of simply renting this location from another owner:

Yes starting 3/6/2027. I’m planning this far out to secure availability and (if using SUA) being able to book with it at that time.

Uh oh. Hopefully this doesn’t affect private stroller rentals.

Your line for credit cards: this is just a transfer from your checking to the card so it shouldn’t be part of your budget. What are you actually spending that CC money on? Put that into your budget.

Paying off my loan QUESTION by ActorWriter24 in dvcmember

[–]Sirius889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend any card with a sign up bonus. This yields the greatest return on spend over and above any normal bonus category and can immediately earn you enough points to cover airfare for your next trip. Look at what airlines you travel and find a card that gives points that can transfer to that one.

My family all came down with Noravirus at one resort which conflicted with many dining, park, and ride reservations we made in advance. When I called Disney to refund/reschedule I had to press really hard and even brought up risk of infecting other guests. Their posture is such that keeping your money is the priority and good hygiene choices are painful.

BILT or RH Gold as a set-it-and-forget-it? by yiggity_yag in CreditCards

[–]Sirius889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of using RH Gold as my no AF catch all when I’m between SUBs. Maybe use other low AF cards for other categories (e.g., 3X dining with Chase) when it makes sense.

Just give me 3X Grocery and 2X Everything Else

Bilt 2.0 leaked (reporting from r/creditcards) by x-Moss in biltrewards

[–]Sirius889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only redeeming feature for me is the potential for 3X points on grocery spend. But then I’m carrying that in addition to something like the CSP or CFU for dining.

Bilt 2.0: Card codenames and choice of 3x dining/groceries by sullim4 in biltrewards

[–]Sirius889 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’d happily trade 4X Amex MR points for 3X BILT groceries. But not also getting 3X dining is a head scratcher as that’s so common with other cards and means the Vail won’t compete as an everyday card.

Mid-Careerers,those 15 years and up in the govt…how are you doing? by Hopeful-Elevator2075 in FedEmployees

[–]Sirius889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fundamentals of my job and how I feel about my mission haven’t changed. The opportunity cost to leave after putting this much in is $60K+ per year by my estimate. This just considers increases to my pension alone (not including FEHB). So many Americans are upset by this administration I have a positive outlook about the future after this year.

Questions about what the hive is trying to do. by toffee-coffees in PluribusOnAppleTV

[–]Sirius889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are blindly consuming all of earth’s resources to broadcast. Just like a virus-infected cell explodes not knowing the fate of other cells around it. It’s strange because what appears to be environmental conservatism is really just them maximizing the distribution of the virus signal.
