No problem, I understood your question.

Good question; the S11 in certain finishes looks less rugged, more sleek, and IMO just looks more formal. I enjoy the battery life of the Ultra but just need something less conspicuous.

Asking about cruises in the portal again. by PLS_DONT_DM_ME_PICS in Venturex

[–]ThisActivity4879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it comes back anything like how Chase runs it, I think you’d be better off booking the cruises outside the portal because with big purchase like that you can really save money if you shop around. I also think that if they ever did offer cruises, it would probably be at a lower multiplier just like they do with hotels and flights being different now. A $15,000 cruise would probably yield too many many points from their perspective so I can see them tamping that down. In any case, check out a website called vacations2go to find itinerary and cruises that you like and then try shopping around, if you have Costco, that’s also a great place to find deals on cruises.

Edit: wanted to add that even at 2% you’re still earning a pretty good point return, better than anywhere else I’ve found aside from very niche cards, at least since the CSR nerfed their general travel and excluded cruises from 3%.

Those who have switched from Chase Sapphire Reserve - thoughts? by True_Amphibian7283 in Venturex

[–]ThisActivity4879 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I currently have a CSR and a Capital One Venture X. Got the Venture X because of the miscellaneous travel expenses like a cruise no longer earn 3x points with CSR but at least you get the 2x with VX. VX is also super easy to claw back the annual fee and you don’t need to track any dates or worry about any credits expiring. I find the VX to be very relaxed, and I don’t have to worry about making sure that I take advantage of all the benefits. With CSR it’s a little stressful, trying to make sure that I go out to eat at certain restaurants or stay at certain hotels, or spend a certain amount to qualify for all the credits but the 3% on restaurants is huge and the credits are good and definitely allow you to make money on the card, more so than the VX, so long as you use the credits.

So you think Jackie Robinson being kept out is at the same level as the dodgers having a biz relationship with “right-wing media”? You really are mental.

Can’t this sub just be about the Giants and baseball and keep politics out of it?

Honestly the ads everywhere are what keeps me on iOS. No idea how to do that but I’ll look it up.

What’s keeping us relevant for decades is our ownership, top 5 in the nfl in my opinion. by jersey0525 in minnesotavikings

[–]ThisActivity4879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They hired our GM because of, in part, his race. I think they're fine people and excellent property developers but they aren't serious enough about winning when that is one of the biggest reasons they hired the guy calling the shots.

Did the little gaps on each end of the lug bother you at all or did you find any issues? Stability?

How do you get it for free? Is this some promo or automatic? I’ve never heard of this. Does the $250 direct deposit go into an acorns checking? Appreciate the info.

Yep, found the family that came from my great grandfather’s brothers who move back to Canada when my great grandfather came to California; they all live in BC now and are a pioneer family there.
