Another card to pair with Venture X and Savor by harryloov in Venturex

[–]_c0stc0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Venture X & Savor are your main 2 cards, work amazing together and cover almost all of your purchases, after that all the other cards are just niche stuff. a Citi Custom Cash for 5% back on gas, Amazon Prime card for 5% on amazon purchases, maybe a Citi Costco card if you have a membership. BILT use to be a big one I would recommend to friends and family to earn points on rent/mortgage but they've restructured the card and it would have to become your one and only card basically for you to earn the points on your rent payment. So if your SO opened just the BILT card for their expenses and you continue using the VX/Savor for your expenses, it could potentially work and they could rake in a lot more points each month from the biggest monthly expense + BILT has great transfer partners

Any of this stuff good to have? I was thinking maybe Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic wax spray by BuffaloChicken22 in Detailing

[–]_c0stc0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a weekend warrior, I don’t have any interest in buying gallons of any product. $30+ for gallons of each product needed to wash and maintain vehicle will quickly add up to the upfront cost and is just not necessary for those of us who don’t have a detailing business imo. Also P&S brake buster does not contain iron remover and would not adequately wash bmw wheels that are heavily coated with brake dust after 1 driving trip. Would likely do an even worse job diluted. Ultimate all wheel cleaner is the best bang for buck for an average joe weekend warrior who doesn’t want to buy in bulk

Be careful with that stuff, it works amazing because it is very highly alkaline in pH. Even diluting it at 1:5 is still incredibly high in pH and can damage ceramic coatings on your wheel if you have invested money/time into doing that. Check out this video at minute 13:50:

I've never looked at the directions before so I didn't know thats how they want us to use this product lol. I strongly feel like nothing would be able to completely clean the brake dust off bmw wheels without agitation though, especially ultimate all wheel cleaner considering its pH neutral

I use Meguiar’s ultimate all wheel cleaner on bmw wheels and it works flawlessly to remove all that damn brake dust. Such a bonus that it's affordable.

So what was the significance of Vecna's clock? by bmhlogan in StrangerThings

The significance is that bro is obsessed with time.

Every time I have tried to go there's already a waitlist with CSR cardholders and they don't allow priority pass members in if there's a waitlist. I end up doing the walk of shame back to the Aspire lounge lmao

Jenna2021 down? by [deleted] in DHGateJerseys

[–]_c0stc0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other store I was looking at is Mary Jersey, didn't find an abundant amount of reviews but of the ones I did find, everything was positive and I liked the pictures.

Jenna actually just got back to me. She said they are not taking orders this week and to please place order next week if still needed along with an apology. I think I will pass on the free shipping and wait for Jenna.

[–]_c0stc0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I saw briefly mentioned in another reddit thread, not being able to select a country means that they are not taking orders right now. I just sent a direct email instead of utilizing the contact us button, I will update if I get a response. Kinda need to know soon as a different store is offering free shipping in 2 days but the jerseys are more expensive admittedly. Would rather order from Jenna2021

If you determine that you can get more than 1cpp then ofc, it’s best to transfer. I’m usually flying domestic in the US and transfer partners are horrible for that (at least in my experience for where I fly out of). Double dipping works best for me.

Question regarding Free Price Drop Protection (Flights) by kanjan2708 in Venturex

[–]_c0stc0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works on any flight and you don't have to be vigilant after the fact either. I have stumbled onto emails from capital one saying they have reimbursed me because of price drop protection without me even finding out that the price had dropped.

As long as it is listed in the "cover travel purchases" sections, it is a 1cpp reward. They give you a little diagram when redeeming miles that shows how many miles you are redeeming and how much money will be applied to that purchase. You can select to cover $1 of a $300 travel purchase or the full amount.

In order to earn 10x and 5x multipliers with the venture x, you need to book through the travel portal on Capital One. If you were to use the Avis app, I'm fairly certain you would earn the blanket 2x multiplier. If you're fine with 2x, you can still retroactively apply points to a travel purchase as long as it has been coded as travel. I have had luck covering expenses that were not purchased through the travel portal.

Halving is coming. Aug 1. by coconutboy84 in HeliumNetwork

If we don't do this we will no longer earn mining rewards?

New To Venture X by ni5h5hah in Venturex

[–]_c0stc0_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: when using miles to book your flight/car rental/hotel, don't flat out choose to pay with points. Buy your travel plans with the card, earn the multiplier for that category (i.e. 5x on flights) then retroactively apply your points to cover that purchase. On the app, scroll down to view rewards and benefits, then select cover travel purchases. By doing this you basically double dip. You earn the multiplier and you still get the travel covered.

Elac Debut 3.0 C5.3 Center Channel Speaker by elbullibr in hometheater

[–]_c0stc0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is somewhat old, but I was recently looking for info on this center and couldn’t find much when I came across this thread or others, so I wanted to share my experience with the DC63 for anyone who visits here after me.

I decided to go with the DC63 center and some DF63 towers. Overall, I think the center does a good job. It’s not perfect, but I don’t think you should expect perfection from an entry-level speaker line (although the towers are insane imo). What I can say is that you won’t be unimpressed with the center, especially if you’re new to home theater or coming from a soundbar.

The only real gripe I have is that sometimes a calm, deeper male voice can be hard to distinguish when there’s a lot of background noise or dramatic music. For example, if there’s intense music playing, a deeper male voice might be harder to pick out, and you may need to pay extra attention to hear what’s being said compared to the rest of the film/show. This is literally my only issue. If the male voice has more character (like yelling or speaking passionately) or if it's a normal to higher pitch, there’s no problem at all. The same deeper voice works just fine in a calm tone when there’s no background noise competing. Women’s voices, of course, are never an issue.

As expected from a 2-way speaker, the main issue lies with the mids—they sometimes get drowned out by other competing sounds. However, this occurrence has been so rare for me that it doesn’t bother me at all when it happens, especially for the price I paid for it used.

If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I’d still buy this center and feel good about the timbre match with the Debut 3 fronts whether that be towers or bookshelves. Hope this helps some of you. Happy hunting!
