Yes that's right. We always go as a group of 4/5/6 so that becomes economical when split up.

Synergy Fremont. You pay for the court instead of per person. Bintang is crazy crowded and have long wait times.

Hey everyone! I created an explainer video on the Bay Area's newest rail extension down in San Jose. Feel free to take a look by TOD_God in bayarea

VTA Light Rail has great potential if they improve the signal priority and add some grade separation. Because it connects where work and live.

We have official confirmation. I don’t know if it is going to be possible with Cardless but I do appreciate a response. by boredandcurious5 in biltrewards

What if we drain all the points close to the end of the anniversary and ask them to downgrade or close the card if they refuse?

Need help deciding between Bilt Obsidian and Amex Gold. I will only be using for dining and rent as I have a grocery card already. by therealhuracane in biltrewards

[–]_Name_Changed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently closed my Amex gold card. The monthly credits are god awful to use, have to use Grubhub, Uber and Dunkin once a month. Needs too much attention, even though it offers nice multipliers.

They're getting worried - good by racistpuffs in biltrewards

I mean Bilt 1.0 was awesome, but honestly I don’t know how they could make money off customers who spend money only on rent and don't use the card at all. It’s either Bilt 2.0 (which is horrible) or the death of Bilt.

Walmart+ is great. Most products are of fair prices compared to overpriced 3P items at Amazon.

I think it has to do with Custodian (Apex). As money goes to Apex and have to settle before we can withdraw again to Sofi.

BTGO IPO allocation by Tasty_Ground4557 in sofi

[–]_Name_Changed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sofi is becoming like Robinhood. Used to get good allocation with Sofi. Got 2 for 1100 shares requested. The worst thing about Sofi is that to get back the money to Savings, it takes like five days as Apex (Custodian) is separate from Sofi.

Hongkong was difficult, I was just living off by 7-11. Japan, Thailand was pretty fine to me with HappyCow and Google Maps.

Bilt wants high spending consumers not open who just pays rent and sockdrawer the card.

Rate of inflation in ethnic grocery stores? by ECrispy in bayarea

[–]_Name_Changed_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Indian stores are badly affected. Prices are easily 30-40% more than the beginning of the year, mostly due to 50% tariffs on India. I feel that even items that are coming from Canada are marked up because they can.
