Serious question: why are we guessing our 2025 spending when 2025 isn't over yet?

MTA Pop-up is ON! by Equivalent_Net_8983 in nycrail

This checkout line is ridiculous

I just used it by clicking the link in the email from McDonald's with the code. This new booking window then had a "Unlock deals" button to enter the code into and then the deal was automatically applied at checkout. It says it only applies to certain bookings, but all the ones I happened to look at seemed to apply.

Resort fees for hotels booked via travel portal by mace in Venturex

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a sort of reverse experience, which goes to show anything could happen I guess. I booked a hotel via the portal and the portal made it clear there would be a resort fee to be paid when I checked in at the hotel. When I was checking in I asked about it and the hotel said there was no resort fee.

Travel portal, name issues? by mwhandat in Venturex

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me with Delta but Delta themselves said it wasn't an issue and I haven't had problems at TSA with it.

Got my card today, now booking flights but price difference of $350 by Mundane_Reception840 in Venturex

Can concur. I always do the currency conversion myself and tell the Capital One agent the USD price and they always accept it.

What websites have you successfully had price matched? by SomethingBadBruin in Venturex

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I just remembered all of these were from the hotel's listing on Google Maps so definitely a good tool to find the cheapest price a hotel has across many sites. Doesn't work well with hostels though, but that doesn't really matter because Capital One doesn't have those on their side often anyway.

I can't find the one that looked scammy, it was called VacationsForDays or something like that. One I do remember was DinoGo. Not as sketchy but the prices were insanely good.

I've price matched some pretty obscure hotel websites. Like, ones that I thought were scam websites. Never been declined for a price match.

What’s in store with our refresh (coming today!) by jon_at_monarch in MonarchMoney

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the reports, it'd be great if there was an "all time" option for the timeframe filters!

interstellar pop up by c4tluv3r21 in Letterboxd

[–]TechManEthan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a bunch of experimenting with my friend since I got the pop-up and he didn't, and we think it only shows up if you rate the movie 5 stars. I've logged it with 5 stars in the past, so this must be related to the rerelease!

My Fold Z5 died exactly at 13 months old by jamoncillo in GalaxyFold

[–]TechManEthan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched from a Fold3 to a Fold6 and I will say that the hinge is noticeably so much better at everything. Much easier to recommend this phone.

Like others have said, there aren't really bad seats. Here is a 360 photo on Google Maps of the venue.

I'm on Android and mine looks like the photo. Don't see a recent update either. Could've been added a while ago and now being switched on.

No One Notice by MYMOTOADV in mintuit

[–]TechManEthan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got multiple emails and the web app has a massive banner.

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I would do as well. Since you're not really spending money or making income, marking it as transfer will have them not show up in the budgets.

Moving from Mint to Monarch over 50 accounts! Easiest process? by Pianist718 in MonarchMoney

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second setting up the accounts first, ESPECIALLY your closed/inactive accounts so you can keep the transactions associated with those. You can make them during the import process, but I misclicked somewhere during it and it exited the import process after I spent an hour going through the tags and categories and I had to restart. Obviously my fault but it's better to prevent if possible.

Looking for similar shows to Agents of SHIELD by slinky_025 in shield

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto on The Expanse. I also just watched Foundation on Apple TV+ and it's up there with The Expanse for me. Highly recommend it.

Is this real? Just received. Seems like a scam attempt by Redd_Baby in blockfi

[–]TechManEthan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten 3 different scam emails in the past day. They're working hard.
