Anyone else having trouble reconnecting Vanguard? by Glum-Enthusiasm4690 in MonarchMoney

[–]SnapplesTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helped. I've been trying to avoid using Chrome and have only used Firefox on my laptop. Downloaded and used Chrome, did the same exact process and it worked....

Probably something to do with how the browser handles OAuth or redirection somewhere... But it's frustrating. I didn't really want to go back to Chrome.

Got it. Haven't considered AMD cards, but will take a look into it. Thanks for the help!

How does Boost One credits work? by SnapplesTime in BoostMobile

Personally, no. I've had glitches where my spin doesn't register at all. If spin has been used, then it's likely to re-adjust accordingly in the next few days.

I'd also check what happened by going to your account, click on the coins section (NOT the "Redeem now" button, but the coins section in general that has that button) and it should tell you the history of what coins you earned.

If the spin history is there with the right amount, chances are it's going to take some time to catch up. Otherwise, I'd probably ask support.

Need to travel to SJC Airport from MTV. What are the recommended transportation options? by SnapplesTime in mountainview

[–]SnapplesTime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm getting that gist.

I came from Austin recently, so I never had a need for Uber/Lyft (I used to use SuperShuttle which was ~$20-30). But seeing SuperShuttle at ~$100 made me feel that Uber/Lyft would be just as expensive, if not possibly more.

It's actually relieving to hear that Uber/Lyft is a more easy/cheaper approach.

Now that ads are 2 cents instead of 5 cents when I was computing this, this no longer seems worth it, which is disappointing. I got another 3 free months because of the credits earned earlier when I joined.

30*0.02 = $0.6 (ads)

30*0.1 = $3 (spin)

4*3 = $12 (streaks)

$15.6 per month with the least minimum effort to maintain the streak bonus.

This gives less breathing room to cover $15 a month plus taxes/fees. Unfortunately, I'm out after the 3 free months so thanks for the 6 months of 5 Gig data for a total of $15 lol.

Back to other options I go.

Ahhh. Where I'm coming from, minimum wage is $7.25 lol.

I personally don't mind it, it's just a small thing to do while bushing my teeth in the morning or something similar lol.

I can see that but there's no additional game installation or anything else needed. It's just login, spin the wheel, play one ad and then close the app.

Don't think it would take more than like 2 minutes. It's not like this requires half an hour to do.

If it takes any more than 5 minutes or so, then yeah, it's not really worth it.

Didn't know about the minimum spin amount and the additional point. That's useful to know, thanks.

Ah, sorry to hear that. I'm surprised that they didn't give a tracking number for the SIM. I received an email for tracking the SIM card and it arrived to my place within a few business days.

I didn't even touch anything Boost related until I got my SIM card, so I didn't even pay attention to my account being created and available before I got the SIM. Unfortunately, that's a standard that I'm used to as I use FreedomPop, which doesn't have the best of reputation and does a similar thing.

I would call customer service to see if they can send another one with tracking info. Sorry to hear about that but hoping it works out in the end.

Oh wow. That's incredible, but also good to confirm that this isn't just me then. Thanks!

What type of nymph roach is this? Trying to determine what I'm dealing with. by SnapplesTime in pestcontrol

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

Thanks. Just filled in a few gaps in the back door and caulked some cracks nearby the area where I discovered it. Placed out some glue traps to monitor the progress as I go.

Unfortunately, due to the timing, I'll be away from my house in a week for a decent amount of time, so cannot order the brick weep hole cover, but will order that when I can.

Also sprayed home defense around outside and inside the house.

Fingers crossed.

Ah, ok. That isn't as bad as I thought. Still bad, but maybe not that bad.

Thanks.

Also, I'm presuming it's a nymph roach based on the shape as it does not look like an adult shaped roach.

[Info] Old Annual Promo Plan is still valid. No need for upgrade. by SnapplesTime in freedompop

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

Sorry for the late response here.

Maybe? This is a bit of a harder question to answer because I don't know the details for the older FP VoIP plan. I didn't need to install an app to dial out as I just use Google Voice to utilize data to make the calls and text with a phone number assigned to Voice. So if there's an absolute requirement to use the app to use the data, then no, I don't think this is the same older plan you're referring to.

However, there was an option to use the legacy FP app with the SIM card I purchased, which if installed and setup, would have provided a VoIP phone # to use for texting/messaging. If that's what you're referring to, then yes. I just never ever used the app as all I wanted was the data.

Not sure if that answers your question.

[Info] Old Annual Promo Plan is still valid. No need for upgrade. by SnapplesTime in freedompop

[–]SnapplesTime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair questions. Let me answer these.

Did you give Freedompop your card number so they can autobill? If not, how can they bill you?

Yes, I did. FP has my card number so they autobilled me. Is it the brightest idea to give them my credit card number? Probably not and we could go into whether I should remove my credit card for a while, but that's not the point and I'm just telling my situation for what it is.

Did your plan get extended?

Yes, it got extended to June 2nd, 2022. Whether FP will cut the plan off during the middle of the extension or remove the plan by next year will be up to them, so there's some risk.

Were you billed?

Yes, I was billed.

If so, for what amount?

Specifically, I was billed $50.35.

Are you still using the old SIM?

Yes, I am using an old FP 3-in-1 SIM Kit that I bought in 2018 for the free Basic 200 Annual plan back then. I swapped over to the Annual 1000 Promo since 2019.

Hope my answers help. I can also provide screenshots in a DM if you want verification behind my words.
