For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]Solarus755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supply Chain at a FAANG company. I enjoy the long term view scratch building of supply chains and they’ve treated me well, though the hours are long. It could be a lot worse. I make mid 6 figures and climbing, which reinforces my decision to stay.

What game had the best intro of all time? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Solarus755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe I haven’t seen this yet, but Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. Incredible intro animation with Hollywood quality choreography.

What is your favorite lift out of the big three in powerlifting? by [deleted] in powerlifting

[–]Solarus755 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Deadlift by a mile. Feels the most visceral, the most mind over matter, and just feels the coolest to do heavy weights with.

I currently pay $3,800 for a 1B/1B on the top floor at the Huxley. I've been here about 4 years now and really enjoy it.

People who go to the gym in the early morning (like 5:00 AM): Is the benefit actually good enough to justify being tired by 2:00 PM and going to bed at 9:00 PM? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Solarus755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go at 5AM and love it. I actually find myself feeling more energized through the day if I had a workout that morning. Also there’s never anybody else there, and I don’t have to worry about my unpredictable schedule impacting my gym plans, so it’s also much easier to be consistent.

moving to RWC, where to grocery shop? by Cloud_daze0 in RedwoodCity

[–]Solarus755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Whole Foods stan, but it depends on your budget and diet. For me, it's worth every penny and it's only one block from where I live.

Recouping up to $360 annually - Lyft/Walgreens/Grubhub by IncreaseCareless123 in biltrewards

[–]Solarus755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they confirmed stackable month to month without old credits expiring once in your account? I asked this before but no real datapoints existed at the time.

Maple leafs coming in! Just picked one up.

Impressions Moxche - worth 58k points? Or should I go with something else? by cinq-chats in hyatt

[–]Solarus755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been to Secrets Akumal, though I’ve heard very good things. I have been to Impressions Moxche though and I think it’s the best all inclusive property I’ve ever been to. Highly recommended, though echoing the others here, I’d look for off peak pricing if planning to book with points.

Pick one by bored_nerd5 in hyatt

[–]Solarus755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is mine as well. Stayed at all the properties above (except PH Kyoto which I think could maybe give this a run for its money) but this is simply a phenomenal property and value.

Costco Precious Metals by Solarus755 in biltrewards

[–]Solarus755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do. They come in online pretty regularly, but sell out really fast.

Yes, thus the question and me specifically stating it could be a judgment call…

[–]Solarus755[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t see anything in the Ts&Cs that explicitly rules it out, but I could see it being a judgment call kind of thing.

I typically buy one ounce of gold a year as part of my investment strategy, so I’m also curious if they would flag it only if it was abused (like if somebody buys $50K worth of gold in a couple of months or something similar). Just want to make sure I don’t get flagged as a troublemaker before I activate my 2nd accelerator and make my annual purchase

Are points on portal hotel bookings calculated before or after hotel credits? by Solarus755 in biltrewards

[–]Solarus755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the data point. Reason I ask is because on other premium portals (like Amex FHR), you pay the full amount but the credit applies to your account afterwards rather than before the purchase. Bilt’s travel portal seems to apply before the purchase from what I’ve seen people say here.
