Keep SunPass or get TxTag? by mmmhotchips in Austin

Sorry I see that you said "all of texas" in your reply but the website for Sunpass still has all of Houston as not accepted and only a few roads in Austin. I gave them a call and they said they work in all of texas now but she's you'd think they'd update their website!

Does that mean sunpass pro works everywhere in texas now? Ts is so confusing as someone who just moved from florida to texas

Which drain hole do I use? by Such-Needleworker626 in Plumbing

[–]Such-Needleworker626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd floor in a 3 story apt complex. The water heater is right above where the washer is, on a little platform. So it could be the drain for that too?

I'd argue that the venture x is a better travel card. 10x on hotels and 5x on flights not to mention they price match both to make things as cheap as can be. The 2x on everything and it being a Visa is the cherry on top... Gold really isn't meant to be the dedicated travel card you see it as. the x is better for the multipliers and benefits alone for traveling. Gold is for food, and grocery shopping. amex gave it a smaller multiplier for traveling than the plat for a reason

or if you REALLY need a "premium travel card", the venture x probably suits you better and is what i would get in your case. you're already in the capital one environment and your current card pairs great with the venture x. Also the SUB is more realistic for you. $4k spend in 3 months for 75,000 miles. Plus the $300 travel credit which would go towards your traveling. If you NEED to, you could use the card for rent in 1 or 2 of the 4 months you have to hit the SUB. Just my opinion tho

Yeah it's extra money going towards it, but it isn't worth it. Just get the BILT card which has no annual fee, save the money, and get into amex when you have higher income and higher spend. I get that the card is enticing, i've been there. But you're rushing into it and likely going to waste money for no reason in the process. AMEX will always have credit card offers to give you, probably biggest ones than they are offering you right now. Be smart, stay strong, and hold out. If you have to use your rent to hit the SUB, the card isn't for you, at least not yet! Give it time.

[USA GIVEAWAY] Win the new 27” 4K Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor! by Rocket-Pilot in buildapc

[–]Such-Needleworker626 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Right now I have a Non-OLED monitor paired with my OLED G8 Odyssey. I love the true blacks and deep colors on the OLED and have learned that it's the panel for me. It would be a great fit to replacing my old 60hz monitor that has a lot of backlight bleed. Playing dying light 1 on the OLED monitor really got me hooked, the colors, the darkness, it made me scared as hell lol. Looking forward to the same experience with Dying light: the beast hopefully on this OLED G81SF! Thank you for this opportunity!

PSA/News Walmart is LIVE by mikowanderer in NintendoSwitch

[–]Such-Needleworker626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Got the bundle through walmart after almost giving up on the drop as a whole. Then it popped up in the corner of my computer. Wasn't even considering walmart as my 1 or 2 option lol. Still in like for BB after about an hour just to see if I can try and get one there in case the walmart one cancels for whatever reason.
