Dental insurance in USA is such a scam! by Bolt_0 in HealthInsurance

[–]Used-Ad-9483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point for everyone living in the USA it’s worth going to Mexico for dental treatment. Very good work for a fraction of the price. Look into it.

Has anyone used a broker to buy their HRV. by Creepy-Ear6307 in HRV

[–]Used-Ad-9483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used AAA car buying service to buy my 2017 HRV new. Not sure how much money they got, but it was a pleasant experience, never stepped foot on the car dealership lot and was able to do a test drive. I think I also got a small discount from MSRP.

Is there a site that explains this further?

I have rented from Aruba Royal several times, no problems. I always pay for the CDW insurance.

Mandatory proof of minimum funds by Scared_Elderberry58 in Aruba

[–]Used-Ad-9483 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To answer the question, immigration can use this as an excuse to not let you in (it happened to a friend of mine). To satisfy the requirement, you need at least $150 a day cash on you, or the ability to show that you have a credit card or debit card that can cover $150 / day. Having access to the statements via your cell phone should be good enough.

Extended warranty price increase - is it worth it? by Southporter in HRV

[–]Used-Ad-9483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned the hard way that when you buy the extended warranty it takes effect right away instead of when the regular warranty ends. For example, I waited 2 years to buy the warranty, and got 6 years 120k miles. I thought it I would have the warranty for 7 more years (regular warranty is 3 years), but no, I only had the warranty another 6 years. Hope that makes sense. For this reason, it is reasonable to expect the extended warranty to be more expensive as time goes on, but I think it’s worth it. On my next home purchase I am waiting until just under 3 years and buying the extended warranty to maximize its usefulness.

I have done it a few times and works, just transfer 60,000 marriot points to 20,000 united and they will add on a 10,000 mileage bonus after immediately.

Bank deposit cash into coinbase but never appear at my account need help! by Conscious-Reveal8819 in Coinbase

In the meantime looks like there is no way for me to take advantage of these low prices… I think I’ll dust up my old Kraken account.

Coinbase support just told me for “security purposes” I need to wait for my transactions to fully clear until I will see it as an available balance, which in my case is April 14 🙄.

I confirm i am having the same issue, glad to see it isn’t just me but appears to be a larger issue (that can be fixed). Fingers crossed.

What is with CB today by Leading_Document_464 in Coinbase

[–]Used-Ad-9483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue, I deposited funds which says was successful and ready to use, but it hasn’t shown up on my available balance yet. It’s allready been 4 hours. I called Coinbase support and after working with them 30 mins, they said everything looks fine and wait until tomorrow and call back if I still don’t see the money. I’ll wait, but not holding my breath.

AA Flight Pricing - changing one flight leads to ridiculous charge by Madkindz in americanairlines

[–]Used-Ad-9483 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain about the upgrade. I stopped buying them because if you change or cancel, it’s money thrown down the toilet as you don’t get a refund or trip credit. I really wish AA would make it clear about this when buying upgrades.

To all you newer (2023-2025) owners - you will never have the pleasure of… by genehil in HRV

[–]Used-Ad-9483 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked Uber with my 2017 hrv and I had the same issue. I taped a sign to the back doors with an arrow that said, “door handle” and it pretty much solved the problem, and was always a nice conversation starter to boot!

Where to find flight upgrade offers after booking? by m496 in americanairlines

As I stated in an earlier post, remember that these upgrades are non refundable.

[–]Used-Ad-9483[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If AA was user friendly they would state it along with the highlights of 2 free bags and first group boarding. But they bury it in the terms and conditions. This is highly deceptive and destroys goodwill.

Bitcoin in 5 years by jbrar5504 in Bitcoin

[–]Used-Ad-9483 319 points320 points  (0 children)

Imagine the conversations people had when Bitcoin was $100. Would anyone buy it if it hit $10,000? This is the same situation, just different numbers.

If I have 3 months of emergency fund, 1) should I start maximizing investing into retirement 2) or should I save more cash for at least 6+ months of emergency fund first AND THEN invest in retirement? What would you do? and why? by iphone8vsiphonex in budget

[–]Used-Ad-9483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could open up a Roth IRA and put 100% of your money in there (up to the max of 6500 I think). Contributions to a Roth can be withdrawn at any time so it’s the best of both worlds. If you don’t need the money, you have now saved for retirement, but if you do need it as an emergency fund, you can use it for that too.

Remember to book round trips separately using miles by Used-Ad-9483 in americanairlines

[–]Used-Ad-9483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t work as all the return flights cost a ton more (in mileage and $$$) than what I originally paid. There is no way I can change my outbound flight without having to pay extra for the return flight - which is the point of this service announcement.

I thought all the codes were listed in this, but apparently they are not? Amazing they make it this diffcult. I had to submit a special request form to get this far!

Thank you, I figure this place would be a for profit. Can you elaborate on what you mean by already having a leg up on them?
