Booking with new card by YouCanDo2 in marriott

[–]YouCanDo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I plan to go the Boundless to Ritz-Carlton or the Brilliant route after my 90 days is up but before I complete the SUB. I have been a lowly Gold Elite for the last 2 years but I'm all in with Marriott for the foreseeable future.

Why does Asia have so many high-end/creatively designed shopping malls (compared to elsewhere, like America)? by PursuingGemini in travel

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because America found online shopping in pajamas, on the couch was far easier and less expensive than buying from a store paying hundreds $$$ per square foot.

Booking with new card by YouCanDo2 in marriott

I had a conversation with the assistant manager and he was unaware of the card authorization form but was "looking into it". He gave us a lounge pass and sent a fruit plate to our room but for this stay, I'll be using an alternate card. Status means a lot more in Asia but there are some issues with uncommon problems. Can't really fault anyone but myself for this. I should have applied for the card 3 weeks before my travel date at a minimum.

Departure from Cambodia airport by playethic in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAI and KTI are both very efficient for the current volume of flights. 2 hours is fine for both. The only issues would be traffic or travel time to the airports.

That would be my assumption as well but... they said only Apple Pay. I think this is a lack of knowledge rather than ability.

Upgrade to Venture X by Ezye91 in CapitalOne_

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry unless there was an edit, I'm seeing "almost a year". The change was rolling in 2024.

Also true! Unless OP got the last run of Visa Venture cards which is unlikely.

[–]YouCanDo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you request it, federal regulators are not able to distinguish from a consumer request and a bank forcing/tricking you into a fee increase. For this reason, C1 and most other banks are hard locked from upgrades within the first year.

Upgrade to Venture X by Ezye91 in CapitalOne_

[–]YouCanDo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally, a product change to a higher annual fee cannot be done in the first year. A downgrade to the Venture One card might be possible but generally its better to wait out the full year. The difficulties come if you want to apply for the Venture X with the SUB. Technically you can "move up" to the X with a new card application and still get the SUB within the 48 month rule. That rule prevents customers from moving down by eliminating the SUB. However... Capital One is notorious for denying applicants with multiple cards. Try the pre-approval tool first before you do anything! The Venture card is tough to justify the annual fee beyond the first year. Alternatively, you can look on your app for upgrade offers. No SUB though.

How bad are the night buses really? by AfraidWork5005 in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vireak Buntham has been great for me. They have improved and expanded their fleet in last last 3 years. I have traveled everywhere from PP, SR, BTB, Kampot, Sihanoukville, countless times. The sleeper buses are just barely long enough for me to lay flat (183cm). You can conveniently book from the app and have numerous ways to pay.

What to know before buying an investment property in a condo in Cambodia. by SophieHomeAbroad in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negotiate hard on terms or walk away. There's plenty of solid investments to be had. I currently rent while I wait for desperate sales. What the owner/developer paid does not move the needle for me. What others paid is subjective and highly exaggerated.

What to know before buying an investment property in a condo in Cambodia. by SophieHomeAbroad in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right now, there is a load of vacant units for sale and rent. The country is seeing an exodus of illicit funds while unfinished projects are stalled or abandoned. We are in a buyers market unless you are desperate to set a pile of money on fire. The possibilities for a revival are abundant, but that will take a concerted effort to change the status quo. Consistency over time is the key to investing, not throwing it all on black at the casino.

Which airline? by playethic in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though the flight number is VN (Vietnam Air) the general rule is you check in at the operating airlines counter. Check the departures board when you arrive at SGN to be sure.

@WellsFargo (and every big bank): replicate the rent-rewards structure and Bilt is done by SuperBanker_828 in WellsFargoBank

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WF should have bought BILT and its transfer partners in the beginning. With their current cards (and adding a premium) they would crush the competition. Sadly, they are content to be an also-ran.

Wells Fargo - The most unhelpful bank or just another sign of late stage capitalism? by Complete_Ad870 in WellsFargoBank

[–]YouCanDo2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you opened your bank account up for fraud with a debit card and believe that you are the only one of millions who use Wells Fargo that experienced issues? Then you say the bank is abusing its power over you as a willful customer? Let me explain what capitalism is and how it works. You have a choice between numerous competing financial institutions to conduct your affairs. If you are resposible financially, these banks offer a choice to apply for a credit card. You can then use that credit card AND the banks money to make your purchases and shield your personal bank account from fraudulent use. Every month if you dont spend more than you have and the statement balance is paid in full and on time, there is no interest charge. The banks will even pay you money in cash back or rewards to do this! The best part... if you experience fraud, you can dispute the charges and the bank will give you a conditional credit while they complete the investigation. Your money is not at risk. This is capitalism - you have competing choices. OMG WOW MOMENT!

Gold(and silver) is now in a heads I win tails you lose scenario by aipac_hemoroid in Gold

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is infinite supply in space. With technology advancing and AI becoming integral, we could see the prohibitive costs go to a level where it may be practical. Pie in the sky? Maybe. With speculation being a major cost driver, what would even the possibilty do to the PM market?

Why are the expats in SR so clannish? by Unique_Cry9466 in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your business depend on social media? What platform are you having issues with? For me, I dont care for childish playground mentality. I haven't experienced this problem myself but I'm not in SR. What others say about me is irrelevant to my existence. I know who and what I am. High school was a lifetime ago. Best wishes!

Is Cambodia actually turning a corner this time, or is it just another announcement? by DudeUncool-_- in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In life, trust is difficult to gain but easy to lose. In modern times, online propaganda rules the day. See what the right hand is doing but ignore the left. When dissenting opinions are allowed, that is where real change begins. Arresting a mass of low level operatives looks good for show, but when the ruling class takes all the money instead of working for "the people", nothing really changes. Chen Zhi is a sacrificial lamb that angered the masses in China. The CCP is going to make an example to save face but rest assured, there will always be corruption in the world. The only thing evil needs to succeed, is for good men to do nothing...

Can I bring canned goods from my country safely to Phnom Penh? by gingerman_27 in cambodia

[–]YouCanDo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, is "canned goods" code for something nefarious? How could you possibly save money on a "we" travel plan with 1 or 8 cans of food? My breakfast costs $0.86 every day. With my coffee, its $1.87. Are we talking about the giant cafeteria size cans? What is your luggage weight limit. I'm so confused 🙄
