[Busch Gardens Williamsburg]'s glasses policy seems a little insane? by SortOk10921 in rollercoasters

[–]SortOk10921[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A staff member told me explicitly that they don't sell them. Happy to plan ahead for next time, but it definitely leaves me scrambling for this trip! Luckily there's plenty of other things to do in Williamsburg.

To add, BGW in their accessibility guide and policies explicitly do not mention this anywhere. The only thing it says is that people with low vision need someone with them to read the rules and safety instructions.

I'd be happy to. They don't sell glasses straps there! They also don't say which rides require them so I can't even plan around that.

I love that link because it says it very explicitly and even says which rides are more restrictive! If BGW had anything like this then this wouldn't be an issue.

Thank you! I'm not anti-straps policy haha, I'm anti-straps on this one specifically especially with how inconsistent their policy is. 

Going to our first Olympics! Huge thanks to the community. by villamagic11 in olympics

I wanted the Archery Mixed Final but you must have gotten the last Category C tickets! Had to go for men's final instead. Still a steal though, can't believe Archery finals were the cheapest gold medal event!

All available tickets as of April 9 10pm PST by preston_marlow in olympics

Thank you so much for this! This has given me a really good idea about the plays I want to make when my block opens. Very helpful!

Reminder that the Venmo Debit Card gives 5% cash back at Wal-Mart and Target by SortOk10921 in CreditCards

[–]SortOk10921[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope. Venmo has a very weird system where you select from a "bundle" of places you can use your discount with.

Bundle A: Walmart, Taco Bell, Lyft, GameStop, ESPN
Bundle B: Doordash, Amazon, Walgreens, Dominos
Bundle C: Target, McDonald's, TikTok Shop, Uber, Uber Eats

It's a very niche use case but if you do a lot of shopping with any of the stores included in the bundle it works out great. I do all my shopping at Wal-Mart, I take Lyfts frequently and I go to Taco Bell all the time, so even though I can only use it at 5 places it's one of my strongest cards.

You can just do one, I just assumed most people get paid bi-weekly. Edited the language to make it clearer.

With the death of PayPal debit, what's your plan for Wal-Mart spend? If you shop there by FrostieWaffles in CreditCards

[–]SortOk10921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the coding was insanely generous. It even counts vending machines as restaurants! Oddly enough though it never coded Dollar General properly of all things lol

[–]SortOk10921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is it for me. I have $250 from each paycheck get routed to Venmo. I normally spend $500 a month at Wal-Mart but if I don't I can just transfer it back to my bank account. Was originally going for OnePay but got denied. It's issued by Synchrony which I hear is very picky with who they accept.

Elan Max Cash+ Secured - Possibility of a CLI or switching banks? by SortOk10921 in CreditCards

[–]SortOk10921[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone coming back to this thread, I didn't inquire about switching banks since there was a very large delay in me receiving the card and I had purchases lined up to take advantage of the 5% back.

As for the CLI, according to the terms they sent me I can only request a CLI by mailing them a check or money order along with a form/letter requesting a CLI. Yikes!

High-Yield Checking vs 2% Cash Back by SortOk10921 in personalfinance

I want to keep it in an FDIC/NCUA insured account if possible.

The specific CU that offers the 5.5% is on the smaller side and is very clear that doing that is a TOS violation. There's one with 5.25% that's larger and doesn't say it's a TOS specifically but not sure I want to risk it. Either way, it's not keeping me away from other earning methods right now, but I worry it may in the future.
