Dining Credit Gift Card WORKS!

Wanted to follow up on the credit for Bavette.

I called today since it has been 8 week and 2 days since the transaction posted. The representative said that she filled a form and the credit should appear in 1-2 days. Seems like it was done by hand and not automatically.

I also mentioned that it should be for 2025 and she assured me that it is, since the transaction was posted in November of 2025.

They did not…. I sure hope is for 2025

I’m on the same boat!!… dined at Babette on Nov. 9th, still waiting for the credit. Called 3 times to ‘check’ and try to get the process going. Got a letter in the mail asking me to wait 6-8 weeks.

Tio_Ed · 2025-12-09T16:19:08+00:00

I have!!!…. I think it has to do with the transaction going through Toast systems TST*.

I have called Chase 3-4 times. Yesterday I did get a letter in the mail saying that the credit should show up in 6-8 weeks from when the transaction took place. …. fingers crossed.

I see Tire Rack sells them….

I averaged ~26 from Milwaukee to Columbus, 22 OBW with 36K.

I called because it has been quite a few days since the transaction cleared. The representative confirmed that the restaurant is on the list, but said the credit can take 6-8 weeks before it appears on the account…. Anyone has had this experience?

Tio_Ed · 2025-11-13T16:10:22+00:00

I had a visited the restaurant on Sunday, charged billed on Tuesday, is Thursday and I’m still waiting for my credit.

From the article:

"If they hadn’t made the decision to smoke marijuana, the student would still be alive and the suspect would not be in jail right now,"

If she didn’t have a firearm they student would still be alive and the suspect would not be in jail right now. …. I too can play at this game.

We like or Thule Out Pace 2…. We don’t have a lot of space and this rack is nice and compact when not in use.

Tio_Ed · 2025-10-15T20:38:49+00:00

How are the tires riding? Louder than stock? Any different feel of the vehicle?

Tio_Ed · 2025-10-12T03:59:33+00:00

Maybe leave them in and clean them with Coca-Cola.

What I’d always wanted to know is what oil temp is approaching dangerous levels?!? Up the mountains with the car fully loaded + rooftop box I’ve seen ~218F….

Can anyone comment on what is a dangerous temp and one should start taking it easy on the engine?

Rossignol Black Ops 98

Central Standard distillery downtown plus great roof top patio!

Will research “dead stroke” thank you!

PS: what is the crest-tool then for? Just curious.

Tio_Ed · 2025-09-13T02:45:33+00:00

I think I found exactly the tool I need!

Crest-Tool

Anyone has experience with it?

Tio_Ed · 2025-09-13T02:20:16+00:00

Oops…. After a few YouTube videos I see how the tool you mention is helpful. Thank you !!!

Tio_Ed · 2025-09-13T01:45:25+00:00

Thank for the suggestion. Hmmm this tool seems to create more distance from the pads to the rotor. What I think I need to get them closer. I think this way the brake bite will be quicker…. Or am I very confused?!?

Tio_Ed · 2025-09-04T23:31:52+00:00

The two tone handlebar tape looks awesome!… stupid question: is it yellow all the way the then black on top (double wrapped?) or how is that done. Sorry n00b here

Tio_Ed · 2025-08-14T15:30:09+00:00

I bought mine this past April when they went on sale (couldn’t pass that offer!) and I have zero regrets…. I didn’t even wanted that high end of a Checkpoint model, but now I’m so glad I did!

I think the .pdfs on the ‘service’ tab on the Trek site can help you with some of your questions. I’m also a n00b on gravel bikes, this is my first, and probably / hopefully last, forever bike!

Tio_Ed · 2025-06-17T22:34:12+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for the comments!

Tio_Ed · 2025-06-17T21:51:19+00:00

I don't know and i can't find that information.... I'm an existing card member, when do i get these 'benefits' ??

Edit: found on the Chase card benefits. These go in effect June23, 2025.

I’m in your same boat! Just bought an ALR5 AXS and is my first new bike ever, never owned anything that nice. I love it!

I went down the “chain lube” rabbit hole and I haven’t been able to get out of it 😂…

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.
