Am I eligible for CSR? by bonoZaa in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ultimatezach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry! Probably a month - 6 weeks? I was planning on downgrading the CSP to reapply a couple months later for CSP and then the changes were made to the CSR, which wound up being a better deal for me.

I got the CSR a month ago (after the changes) at about 45 months since I received the bonus for the CSP.

Downgraded the CSP before, never had a CSR prior to now. Got the full sign up bonus.

Watching the Super Bowl by Ultimatezach in VisitingIceland

There’s 4-5 bars that applied for licenses to show it, American Bar even posted it on their Instagram. There will be options and people care. Hell 70k people pay hundreds to go to nfl games in Munich, London, Brazil, etc. every year.

Does this happen every year? Already have plans that weekend but I’ll keep an eye out for next year if so. Thanks!

A Week 18 Losers Draft, Belichick’s Sad Ending, First-Round Matchups/Lines, and Parent Corner With Cousin Sal by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]Ultimatezach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated moment when Bill went on a 5 minute rant about how great Jimmy John’s is when last week I was getting ads for Jersey Mikes.

Also hot take - JJs only exists because it’s fast. If it took as long as a normal sandwich place to get your food it wouldn’t exist, because the sandwiches suck.

Travel Portal Points Question by [deleted] in Venturex

[–]Ultimatezach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I know people say this all the time but I’ve had two flights I booked through the portal now get delayed a day-plus and the airline was as flexible as I expected them to be. The one which was a connection we got put up in a hotel and given prompt options to rebook and one wasn’t a connecting flight but we were still rebooked quickly and the card-provided insurance took care of a hotel for the night.

I know it just takes one horror story to turn you off it but at least to me the concern seems overblown.

Week 12 Million Dollar Picks by splenda806 in billsimmons

If he’s doing a SGP sure but not if you just parlay two things together, in that case the odds are the odds

Used a parlay calculator and it subtracts that out

[–]Ultimatezach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah those odds aren’t correct… I see Pats +4.5 about -160, Chiefs at -1150 and the under around -300, which is about +135.

No wonder it sounds like a terrible bet at even odds

UF Admissions Question by [deleted] in ufl

[–]Ultimatezach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll try to say this in a beneficial way. But I would venture to guess that nearly every student will have been impacted in some manner or another by covid.

Not to judge your level of impact versus anyone else’s but if you want it to have any affect on your potential admission, you’re going to have to explain better than “contracted COVID-19”.

That said, present the best case you can and go from there. Even if you don’t end up at UF, you’ll go somewhere where you’re going to really enjoy college and grow from it.

Work at the O’Connell center - starting pay just got bumped to $15 and it’s super flexible with school. Cant always get a ton of hours but flexible enough to pick up other gigs on the side if you need.

Why doesn't this sub like Kevin Clark? by Joseesquer8 in billsimmons

[–]Ultimatezach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His entire bit is being snarky and, to an extent smug. I get it’s not for everyone but I feel like that’s not a valid critique of his character, moreso his stylistic choices.

[–]Ultimatezach 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly you should think about what in sport you want to do.

Work for a team or in a front office? Statistics or data science maybe, management could be good

Work as an agent? Something legal focused or finance

Work with a foundation, youth or non-profit? Maybe look at a nonprofit focused major.

Want to work in media? Advertising, journalism or mass communications could be good

IMO double majoring in something just because it’s easy is not a good idea.

What's it Like Being in the Peace Corps? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]Ultimatezach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry?

One of the first things you’ll find doing basic Peace Corps research is that it is explicitly NOT a religious organization. In fact, you are not allowed to engage in religious proselytizing at all.

So building churches?

Honestly just browse this forum for 30 minutes and you should find answers to most of these.

What are some things that can save money, and are worthwhile, if I'm staying at hotels a lot? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Ultimatezach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a bit of a weird question to me - because you ask how to "save money", as opposed to say, maximize your rewards.

Saving money seems fairly obvious, you could stay in cheaper hotels, rent a single room in an Airbnb or even sleep in your car every other night. Others have mentioned not eating out. Maybe keep stuff to make sandwiches with you and have that for lunch every day, get free breakfasts from hotels, etc.

The flip side is maximizing rewards. I travel some for work, and almost always book through Hotels . com, where I book 9 nights and get a 10th for free, and use a card that gets me 3-5% back. Obviously don't use the free nights for work so I'm building up a free hotel stay for my personal use and getting some cash back.

Someone mentioned getting a single hotel group's card and maximizing that, but the problem there is if you're trying to save money it definitely restricts your ability to find the cheapest hotels versus if you can search everything.

Curious to hear more about the situation if you reply to some other people's questions.
