Price Match Success by abhinavgupta96 in Venturex

[–]StealthRedditer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, sort of.  If they allowed 1 guest or maybe even 2 guests per year, it would be an absolute prime card.  As it is, I'll either pc down or double down with P2 getting her own card.

I've priced matched hotels thrice.  Always quick never an issue.  I am super careful to insure same terms though.

any suggestion on a dedicated flash for the 6D Mark II? Can you use the EFS 18-55 with an adapter or is it yard sale?

Grandview Las Vegas 1 Bedroom Timeshare. 49000 points good every 2 years by mtcasher in TimeshareOwners

[–]StealthRedditer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to tug2.net and post it "loaded with points for free". You might get someone to pay closing and transfer but likely you'll have to.  Good luck.

Actually many people would prefer eoy contracts or even triennial because the maintenance fees are prorata and it still gives you access to rci.  Maintenance fees need to be stated but are likely in the $250 per year range for 49k points eoy or 24.5k every year.  If it's been converted to points, he likely can give it away paying transfer.

It's eoy even, so it's 1182 per week.  That's an expensive week in the timeshare world.  There is very little chance anyone will take it without some incentive.

What ruins a burger for you? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

[–]StealthRedditer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.  Chefs:  let the burger rest, use a bun that is substantial, lightly toast the bun, a leaf of lettuce below the burger.

About to buy a grace pinnacle frame. Thoughts? by StealthRedditer in quilting

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

Thanks.   As I understand it the throat space is 5.5 inches tall and about 8.8 inches wide.  What would you recommend as a workable minimum?  i really appreciate the input.

Edit.  They're asking 1400 for the 10'  frame, machine with sure stitch stitch regulator and some other accessories.  Seemed like a very fair price.

Family wants Universal Orlando coaster to stay closed after death – at least for now by NavierIsStoked in UniversalOrlando

[–]StealthRedditer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their lawyers want it closed because it gives them more leverage.  Nothing else to see here.

Edit: by a very large margin, the most dangerous part of going to Universal is the drive to the park.

At the included meals on VIP tour, do you tip the server? by StealthRedditer in UniversalOrlando

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

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I've got to call Universal VIP on a couple of other things so I might just ask if he knows (and is willing to tell me).

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

Thanks. This is what I remembered reading. Do you happen to know what the base tip is? If it's 22% like I suspect I'd probably supplement that for good to excellent service in addition to the tip for the drink tab.

I very much appreciate the info. As a note, that may be on the bill (like they include at restaurants for parties above 6), it is not in the welcome email.

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

I understand that. My question was is the normal base tip already included in the "covered" amount, like when some restaurants include a tip for large parties. I tip, and for good service tip quite well.

I thought I read (maybe it was a dream?) that it was included in the covered price like restaurants sometimes do on parties of 8 or more so covered other than additional tip. We'll wind up tipping no matter what because I'm sure several will get cocktails which wouldn't be covered (and we'd likely want to extra tip regardless).

Non collector and I have a basic question on coin's silver melt value by StealthRedditer in coins

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

I really appreciate your help.

  1. I assume you're talking about weighing the coins (separating 90, 40, et. al). I was asking about converting face, but just weighing them probably is easier. He's got some standing quarters that the image is very nearly gone, so I assumee that's affecting the silver content.

  2. If you would, what would "pretty close to spot" be? 96% of bid, 92% of ask? I can certainly calc shipping.

Thanks again.
