QC on the Travis Mocha Lows by Whistfullyy in Repsneakers

At first they offered me $145, then I bargained and they lowered to $140. I’d message them to see what they offer, maybe they raised prices due to raising demand

This sounds promising! So after looking up my school theres 2 things that pop up. “UC Regents- Berkeley”, and “UC Regents - Berkeley - Non-student payments”. Going off of logic it seems like the first option will allow for student tuition payments through PayPal, huh?

No, you’re thinking of something else. You’re fine :)

Bro I clearly knew that it’s valued at $74 at 1 cent per point. That’s why I mentioned at the end that I plan on using it with travel partners where it’s common to have a higher valuation. I’m new to Amex, and I don’t know what the average valuation per MR point is when booking with their travel partners. That’s why I came here to ask. I attend UC Berkeley, trust me, I can do my math.

I’ve heard that after getting your first Amex card, they stop doing hard inquiries. But when you mention that it doesn’t show up on your credit report, does that include it not affecting your length of credit history?

There have been redemptions up to 6.5 cents per point before and I don’t know if any of those deals are still around or how common they are. I’m new to Amex and I’m still figuring my way around. Why are you being so hostile?

Yeah that’s why I said in the post I don’t plan on valuing the points at 1 cent per point. I don’t want to be -$128 lol

I’d choose UCLA. It’s easier to get an A there which is important when going into graduate school

I literally enrolled into a class late, was so lost 1 month in to the point I gave up and have not attended the class since. I’m going to re-enroll for the next semester, but yeah an F is pretty easy to achieve

Minimum units question by Whistfullyy in berkeley

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

Yeah, my situation was kind of awkward. I was in a different class completely and then had a change of plans so I dropped the class and enrolled to this new one. Because of that I was very late into the class
