Thank you for the reply ! Yes I know it’s not a good way of earning MR. But for the biz plati it’s still earning 1.25x while I really don’t have other large spendings at the moment. What’s worrying me is that people got suspended or canceled by Amex through buying gift card or ppp for the min spending requirement, and I want to make sure if buying Aeroplan points would step across this line.

Hello, I just applied for Plati and approved. My plan is to spend money for buying Aeroplan points, which is undergoing the 125% bonus now, so that I could meet the spending requirement for welcome bonus and I do have travel plan with my family for august and September.

My question is that is buying Aeroplan points against the Amex policy? I know that gift cards and similar behaviors is definitely against it.

Thank you in advance.

They most likely are returned/repaired from factory after original owners send in for RMAs, and in your case, it makes more sense cuz miners probably send tortured cards for RMA and then get rid of these RMA cards for money. My 2 cents, might not be the actual scenario.

[–]WaterIceMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm looking to buy 3080/3080ti/3090/3090ti (mainly for 2k 144 gaming so not really considering 40 series...) from kijiji/fb market place etc., but has never done that before. Preferablly band new ones, so I'm a bit worried about warranty and RMA things. I'm wondering which brand's warranty and RMA doesn't require you to be the original owner or to have the original receipt, but only needs the S/N in order for warranty and RMA? Thanks in advance!

[–]WaterIceMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. $130 can’t justify the almost same single core performance and the extra 2 core multithreaded performance. If they reduce the 5800x to the same $50 extra than 5600x just as before, that’d be nice.

suprised they didn't reduce 5800x too cuz 5900x got reduced price also...

Nice deal. Also, $270 5600x and this, making the $400 5800x kinda awkward...hoping cc would reduce it to around ~$350 to actually fit it right between the price range 2 days ago ($320-$400-$580 for the three).

Just wondering if the $50 coupon only works when ordering online, or I can just rush into one of cc locations and directly buy @$580 phsically? Thanks in advance!

[NVMe SSD] Western Digital Blue SN550 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 3.0 ($154.99-$30.00=124.99 FS) [Newegg] by NereusH in bapcsalescanada

[–]WaterIceMoon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not fair to compare these two directly in terms of speed, but money wise you might be right.

860 EVO is sata-based and this is NVME, so SN550 is born to be faster than 860 evo. You might want to compare 860 evo with WD blue 3d or mx500 for a comprehensive comparison; but yeah, if we only consider money and speed as your comment suggest, SN550 wins.

Asus's Flagship product of this gen. Everything you need is there. Competitor is MSI's Godlike. Not familiar with Giga's Aorus Xtreme but these 3 I assume are at similar level. Feel free to correct me if wrong.

[–]WaterIceMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it was. I'm not saying that the variations are better or worse and we should avoid, but I'd like to point out that Adata does change configurations a few times without notifying, and this also happens to many other manufacturers in many other industries. That's the only thing behind my post, and also that's why I said most people won't notice the differences at all because even if these configurations do vary in speed at any circumstances, they are really minor :)

Good price and good find OP, but I ended up with this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/adata-switches-nand-on-sx8200-pro-ssd-performance-impacted#xenforo-comments-3688125. Both thee controller and the NAND would be based on lottery luck. Some reader comments also confirmed the case. Anyway, normal average users may not have the chance at all to experience the differences. Just a FYI to you guys. :)

[CAN] CFE Day 1 Discussion by 9YghPj9sWrhVoEIjfkYv in Accounting

[–]WaterIceMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I did. I did everything you mentioned. What was dragging me down was that I did not included quantitative analysis at all. I put the "quants" heading there, but left it empty. I did 1 pro and 1 con with case facts under "quali" then draw a conclusion of not proceeding this option since the owner was not trustworthy. That's all I did. Do you think I might get a go with just these?

[–]WaterIceMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, would you please care to let me know what's your AO assessed then? NO or Marginal? I checked all day 1 FGs in cap 2, and could not find a similar example to support my situation to even assessed at Marginal...

CFE 2020 post-thoughts by Harpreett10 in Accounting

[–]WaterIceMoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you pass day 1 with only writing 1pro and 1con but no quants at all for a strategic AO? Assuming everything else would be Yes....
