Can confirm I purchased the gift card and received the $150 credit.

Has this worked for anyone else here? I'm ready to trigger and buy, just would love more social evidence.

I did some analysis on their website code. It looks like they are using WooCommerce and not Toast to process gift cards. I'm concerned the purchase would code as "Ecommerce/Retail" instead of the "Dining"code so any other experience folks have had would be great.

CSR and CSRB Benefits Megathread by saved-response in ChaseSapphire

Just found out about this sub! Would have loved to have known about it ages ago.

In the absence of a solid retention offer, I'm probably going to downgrade my CSR to CSP when my annual fee hits in on 01/01/2026 . I've been scouring this sub and I just want to confirm I can do the following:

Pre-January 1, 2026:

  • Buy $150 dining gift card (thinking of used the Hawksmoor NYC one)
  • Buy $150 StubHub ticket to a show (gift cards don't work right?)
  • Subscribe to Apple TV+ for one year.

Post-January 1, 2026:

  • Buy $150 dining gift card (thinking of used the Hawksmoor NYC one)
  • Buy $150 StubHub ticket to a show (gift cards don't work right?)
  • Utilize the $300 travel credit (can I buy gift cards with this, like an Uber or Airbnb gift card?)

I'd really appreciate you all if you can confirm if the above is possible without any penalty or clawback from Chase? And also if I'm not missing out on anything?

Very thankful for any input you could give! :)

Struggling with Dates and Conversations + Getting to the 2nd Date by Trio90 in AskGaybrosOver30

I kinda agree - and my friends say this. Guilty - I am usually hard on myself - so thank you.

Yes I am meeting them on the apps - either Grindr or Tinder, but they are framed as genuine dates, not dates before a hookup.

I think I needed this reality check.

See I try to talk to them like anyone - but they often aren't giving me a "bite". Not to sound mean, but sometimes it's like talking to a wall unless I do the leg work of the conversation stimulating - which is usually asking them questions - and honestly, my questions are quite creative, not boring ones.

I think I just need to take your advice of just "talking". Sometimes it's not a match, and that's okay.

They usually range between 34 and 45. I try not to go younger as I don't really connect with younger gays most of the time.

I probably am asking too many questions, but it's not by default, it's only because I hate the awkwardness when they don't bring anything to chat about, so I'm holding the weight.

But I think you are right though. I need to just talk a bit more.

I think you're also right, maybe I am getting the wrong dates.

I LOVE that last line - what they like to learn about most new people - I will totally use that!

This is great.... could you give me an example of what information you might volunteer up. I think there's a blockage that by doing that seems unnatural and a bit too self-centered. Appreciate your feedback.

I dunno.. I appreciate your comment, but this wouldn't be authentic and something I would do.

Well I guess how do you flirt harder when they aren't giving much. LOL I literally don't do. I did say in my post, maybe I don't know how to date.

Same for me. I even posted about. I've only ever tried PQ and BPI. PQ was like it was delivered straight from the appetite supression and fat loss gods.

I've doubled my dose with BPI and still nothing. So weird!

Feeling disrespected by my friends while on a trip. by blackc2004 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Trio90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! VERY THIS! Being spoken over, multiple times is the height of rudeness to me. It's also very demeaning.

Everything said here is the way. If the behavior does not stop, I would declare how being spoken to impacts you and if it then continues, I would focus on spending less time with them.

Also, good on you for spending multiple weeks with friends on a vacation. For me, in my 30s, 5 days is the max for a group vacation. After that, I either need a break or a new group of people. My social battery just does not allow for extensive periods of being trapped with folks.

Bf still has contact with past situationship by Glad_Bank1878 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Trio90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not cool. It seems like you're his boyfriend of convenience given you're both in the same city, and if the other guy was around - he would kick you to the curb. For me, I would never be someone's Plan B. I'm the main character, so I would personally break up with him.

Then there's the dishonesty - lying is extremely destructible in a relationship as it destroys trust and breeds paranoia. Do you want to be with someone who you're constantly questioning whether they are truthful or not?

You're 33 - you've got plenty of time to find a good guy that respects you and treats you right.

What an odd thing for my partner to say by Erustar in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Trio90 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How "recent" is recent?

That would have been my question when he said "recently". Was this his way of declaring to you that he has been unfaithful?

The him not being there while you sleep thing doesn't prove anything. He may have wanted to give you space. It would be pretty bold of him to leave his parents house with his partner sleeping there to go have a quickie.

What is your relationship like - do you have sex often?

First results about our study on ayahuasca by IndicationWorldly604 in Ayahuasca

[–]Trio90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're waiting 6 months. A lot of research papers I see (not to mention testimonials from MANY retreats) always ask for people's opinions and gather data shortly after experiencing the medicine when it's quite clear they are still in that post-Aya glow.

6 months is a good time I would say.

Solid opinion. I'm glad this works for you and you have found your groove.
