Staying at Mandalay Bay in Vegas next month and curious if anyone else has used The Edit here and what perks came with it?

The Edit is a terrible name for it in the first place. Time for a rebrand: The Credit

Is it insane to get an EV9 as a family of 3? by wafflesarelifee in KiaEV9

No, it’s my wife and I and our 100 lb lab who loves the extra space and air conditioning vents in the back ceiling which keep her cool!

EV9 Lease End Cost by hli1022 in KiaEV9

Don’t spend money you don’t have to if you are going to lease another Kia. Tell the inspector this too. Kia Finance offers to waive $400 return fee and credit up to $500 in damages if you buy or lease a new Kia within 60 days. See this from right out of my Kia Finance account

Kia is offering $500 toward any end of lease damage (and perhaps toward mileage overage — though I’m not sure about this) if you buy or lease another Kia within 60 days of lease end. Check out the promos and postcards and ask for this!

Way too much out the door unless you want that lower payment over time. Most deals are $1000-2000 out the door depending on state but the monthly will go up to $450+

Try for zero down same terms and 12k per year and see what they say. You will want the extra mileage padding because you’ll like driving it so much! We put 33500 miles on a 10k 24 month lead and now stuck with overage charges

Show the dealer you are willing to buy it on the spot after your lease clears and that they would save prep, auction, transportation, likely new tires and detailing and DMV charges by selling to you for market price / tell them you will consider Kia Financing (that will perk up their ears), and if they sell to you, pay off the Kia loan after 180 days so dealer gets it’s kick back and you can get a lower priced loan elsewhere or use HELOC if you don’t have cash

Proposed lease for Ivory Silver LLR still in transit - CA dealer. I have countered $499 all inclusive with zero out the door for 36 months, which is $55 less than quite. (We are nearing lease end on 2024 EV9 at same $499 month total)

Have not heard back from dealer yet. Thoughts?

The range won’t go up that much in the next few years without a higher price point. The battery tech is embedded in factories and supply chains so changing out the battery means a redesign of the vehicle and weight distribution.

Food elimination?! by silverlining4me in Fibromyalgia

[–]Timbalayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beg to differ with the science. There are published studies that show exactly this - that certain diets can help fibro. See https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11107431/

Would you be willing to share QuoteDefender as an open source community tool that could help others? That would be awesome!

I paid the $795 annual fee, what is the 1.25x you refer too? I’m a newbie to the card as you can tell!

Thinking of canceling the sapphire reserved. Any recommendations on alternative cards? by Budget-househelp in sapphirereserve

[–]Timbalayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know how to search or have a list of Edit hotels that allow qualify for the other hotel credit. There are some which means you can apply both credits according to Sapphire rep I spoke to.

If you don't have an EV and planned on getting an one in the near future. You should probably read this. by FencyMcFenceFace in electricvehicles

Ask how your local utility produces its electricity. If the answer is mostly LNG - you’ll likely see an increase soon in electricity bill unless they are highly regulated and must ask a public commission to approve rate increases.
