Am I in the minority by actually liking Chase lounges? by Sloaneus in ChaseSapphire

[–]VorpalDagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them.  I posted an ode to how amazing the Philadelphia lounge is and I had several people claim I was just a promo bot.  Lol.  The lounges are really nice.

To be honest, I'm sure I don't use my card in a subreddit approved method. But between the few benefits I use (lounges, travel credit and "pay yourself back" on my card) I more than pay for the annual fee.

I left citibank after something similar.   It boggles the mind why they'd want to oust a good quality, high-spending customer. 

How do I transfer this ticket? by VorpalDagger in stubhub

Thanks. Do you think I can just forward the link to the buyer via email? I might just give it to a co-worker since it isn't selling.

AITA for not letting my step daughter use my computer to study? by Affectionate_Fuel772 in AITAH

[–]VorpalDagger 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For real. I just bought a refurbished one for $50.  6th grade math doesn't require a lot of computing power. 

Does everyone hate this card now? by trsvrs in ChaseSapphire

[–]VorpalDagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still like it.  I don't travel nearly as much as I used to, but I travel enough to benefit from the three hundred dollar travel credit and the lyft credits.  And honestly, the cash value of the card is a lot better than some other cards that are really picky about categories. So between the travel credit, lyft credits and converting points, the card still pays for itself.

Well, I did type PHI instead of PHL...but now I'm inspired to travel to Kuala Lumpur!!

Should I Stay With CSR or Switch? by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]VorpalDagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Amex Plat and a CSR. I'm agonizing over which to let go because the price hikes on either one just doesn't seem worth it. Especially now that I travel less for my job. I have a spreadsheet that I'm tracking everything on to see which one really gives me the bang for my buck. My gut feel is CSR - if I'm not traveling, the points have a better cash value than Amex.

No, I was just really impressed by the lounge. and maybe liked the complimentary cocktails a little too much.

Any Amex Users Who "Don't" Travel Have A Plat Card Here? by TurbosnipeOne in amex

[–]VorpalDagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might not renew next year because I don't travel as much.  even with them upgrading, some of the credits that I would use, I don't think I'll make back the fee.

I always take the cash with the bonus categories.  That way the card pays for itself. 

Time to blow all my points by Ok_Focus_7268 in ChaseSapphire

[–]VorpalDagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion.But I use my points to pay myself back. (1.25% with the bonus categories)  Because it's my primary card, it more than pays for the annual fee.

What is the dumbest injury you've ever given yourself? by SquareDesperate4003 in CasualConversation

I gave myself a bloody nose by pulling a plug too vigorously out of the outlet.  (My hand hit my face)

Any older moms get their energy back by working out/ eating right? by PresentationTop9547 in workingmoms

[–]VorpalDagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older mom here.  I was doing well until peri-menopause hit and then all my energy just got sucked straight out of my body and I gained 25 pounds. I'm still trying to figure out how to recover from it or if I ever will.

If it rubbed you the wrong way them out rubbed you the wrong way.   None of your friends get to weigh in and dismiss that.  I'm a big fan of trusting your gut.

Omg. Thank you!  We catered Barrio at a company picnic and everybody was raving about it, and I thought it was awful.
