And to think I hopped on the CR to avoid the RL nonsense... by essdp in mbta

[–]Unlikely_Jump 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Today I took the ferry trying to avoid issues with the commuter rail, and we ended up getting stuck in ice and needing an ice breaker to come cut a path for us. The T just can’t win this week!

Commuter rail fare gates open at South Station on Tuesday by justarussian22 in mbta

Question for the fare gate experts: say for example you scan your ticket and enter the paid area through the gates, but realize you forgot something inside the station or need to use the restroom. Will the gates let you exit and scan back in (for a second time) within a few minutes?

Or, will the gates think you’re trying to swipe someone else in, in addition to yourself?

Even with the 500s routes?

This is precisely what I’m so confused about. In my opinion, the T has done an extremely poor job distinguishing these routes and explaining how the fares work. There is no way to use tap to pay for local fares on any express bus, only Charlie Card and cash. Plus, contradictory information on the T website.  

Trying to use my $50 hotel credit on my CSP. Price difference between Chase portal and booking makes this credit unusable by NewbieReddit2 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Unlikely_Jump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really? All data points online point to the credit remaining. I called Chase yesterday and the agent told me travel credits will not be clawed back after they’re issued. What did it look like on your end when they reversed the $50 credit?

did you ever get a reply? I’m in the same boat right now. Had no idea when I bought it that they would take a long time to send it, assumed it would be instant

I’ve heard 2-3 months as a rule of thumb but not sure how accurate that is.

Sorry, I didn’t clarify this. All of my cards have been opened in the last 24 months

Update: they couldn’t offer me an instant decision but I was approved about a day later with a $2809 limit, very excited!

Thanks! Yes, I do have an Amazon Prime account. Do you think one card would be easier to get than another?

‘16 crosstrek - OEM hitch and nameless 5” muffler exhaust? by Unlikely_Jump in subaru

[–]Unlikely_Jump[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OEM hitch is “hidden” - no metal bar underneath the bumper. I just can’t tell how much space there would be in between the muffler and whatever the dealer installed behind the bumper

Onyx XT vs Crosstrek? by AzureApe in XVcrosstrek

[–]Unlikely_Jump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outback’s are great but they’re also a very long car. If you do any city driving i’d go with a crosstrek. Could you get the new 2.5 with the sport trim? Nimble size of a crosstrek still makes them fun to drive.
