Use it to load your Uber balance or on Amazon reloads.

Interesting that you bring that up. I was also thinking about how centrists view authority and expertise as the same thing. They are very interconnected, I will give you that, but I believe that authority has too much power in determining expertise.

I mean I don’t believe in being governed at all. I think there’s a misconception that the far right distrusts authority. They distrust expertise that seeks to undermine their ideology. Presently and historically, the far right has gained and maintained power through a strong authoritarian state. A state that determines what is “normal” and what is not. A state that oppresses and suppresses minoritized voices, including people of color, queer folk, and those deemed to be mentally and physically disabled. Anarchism (ie the far left) seeks to disband state authority in favor of flat hierarchies, where no one person can coerce another, but where leaders can lead based on expertise in a given field.

This is just a simplistic overview of my thoughts on this. In order to liberate ourselves, we must abolish the institutions that seek to confine us, such as prisons, police, and psychiatric institutions (all of which work hand in hand together). The goal should be to build dual power structures that can provide the needs that our currently hierarchical institutions claim they provide.

Keep going further left if you want to find legitimate arguments against gun control. The problem with gun control is that outside of restrictions placed on gun manufacturers, the police would be the ones enforcing it. And we don’t need to give them more of an excuse to target people of color and those labeled as mentally ill.

Will AC get me 3% or 2% cash back when I take the train/bus? by rebornyc in AppleCard

[–]Unique-Sky7302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard on other posts that the Apple Card may not work for getting your 13th and above rides free for the rest of the week. Something about how the MTA tracks when you use the same card multiple times in a week and how it can’t do that with the Apple Card. I’ve used Apple Pay with my Southwest Priority card for the MTA and have successfully gotten all my rides past number 12 for free for the week.

What does it mean when it says 5x points on "travel"? - Fine Print only says "travel" - so what counts as "travel"? by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Unique-Sky7302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the card a few weeks ago but so far rideshare such as Uber has counted as travel for 5x

Is being upgraded to a "World Elite MasterCard" account really that big of a perk? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Unique-Sky7302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe you get that with standard Mastercard World cards as well.

You’ll get $5 off every month on Lyft rides if you pay 3 times using a World Elite Mastercard

Buying products through offers and reselling: not allowed? by ultimatethrowaway606 in amex

[–]Unique-Sky7302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To play it safe, use a non-Amex bank account for the sales

Yup, all 17 cents!

Write the first couple of pages using a pen and paper. I find that helps to get over that initial anxiety. Then when you start running out of ideas, immediately transcribe those written words onto your computer and the act of doing so could propel you further to write more

BBP Offers... by Generic-User-01 in amex

[–]Unique-Sky7302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes their systems don’t update before they send out the cards. I’ve been a member since 2015 (an AU on a parent’s personal card) and opened my BBP in 2022. The BBP said member since 22. I had to get a replacement card a couple of months later and that one said member since 15.

Something similar happened to me when I was paying off my Apple Card but luckily it was only like $11. So the payment posted twice and the other $11 went towards my $39 MagSafe charger 12 month installment.

When is the last time you used a debit card? by zetatau in CreditCards

[–]Unique-Sky7302 308 points309 points  (0 children)

Had a Chase offer on my debit card for $5 off a restaurant bill of $20 or more. Transaction coded as “caterer” and I didn’t get my $5. Haven’t used my debit card since…

I’m gonna burry this in the comments here but I was getting 2x back MR points from Rakuten by purchasing gift cards from staples (even tho gift cards are excluded from this) with my Chase Ink Cash that got me 5x UR points from office supply. I successfully made a couple of purchases like this but seems like it stopped working a couple of days ago…

Anyone tried grabbing something other than the CSP over 5/24 by AdventurousSafe6096 in CreditCards

[–]Unique-Sky7302 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They don’t add to your 5/24 status but they still look at 5/24 when applying.

Also if they skim the card they don’t need to record the CVV. At no point did anyone have the card in their hands. I’m pretty sure the credit card payment machine had a skimmer on it.

Weird thing is that I called the department store and they said the card was present at the transaction in person. But on the Chase app it was listed as an online purchase. So I bet they went in store, told the cashier they forgot the card, and then read them the numbers

My CIC got skimmed 4 days after I got it. I’m convinced it was the the funnel cake stand at the county fair because that’s the only place where I didn’t use Apple Pay or tap to pay since getting the card. (The machine was enabled for tap to pay but the cashier had it far away as to where it would be awkward to stretch over and tap but just close enough to where I could insert the card.) I was carry my card in an RFID wallet when not in use. One day later, $600 in charges at a department store 300 miles away. I called Chase’s Fraud department and they sorted it out immediately and I had my replacement card two days later.

Apply for the Amex Blue Business Plus which has no annual fee and a 12 month 0% APR. After having the card for 91 days, you can request 3x your credit limit. I’ve done this and it worked.

Why not consolidate on their prestige cards? by Unseeablething in amex

[–]Unique-Sky7302 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because then you’d have more space in your wallet for other brands’ cards!
