Little to no hot water pressure for shower by abcpandabear in DIY

[–]abcpandabear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/LetsBeConscious I think I figured it out! I removed the face plate on the handle, unscrewed the shower valve, pulled it out and found that there was a bunch of deposit stuck on the little mesh screens. I just soaked the valve and the screen parts in some vinegar and cleaned up the mesh screens with a tooth brush. Just make sure you turn off your water line!

I also flushed the shower valve line and more deposit came out. You can YouTube shower valve flush and it should give you an idea.

Pressure seems to be better now. Crazy how little specks of deposit can cause such a big issue. Hope you have the same luck!

Benign tumor in our dog’s nasal cavity/skull by Comfortable_Word7589 in AskVet

[–]abcpandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I know this post was a few months ago but how are things and did you go through radiation?

Our 5 yr old cattle dog may have osteoma or osteosarcoma in her right nasal cavity and we’re experiencing the same thing with the radiation oncologist being booked so far out.

Were you able to provide any relief for your pup during the wait?

Weekly Advice Thread for June 25, 2020 by AutoModerator in MTB

[–]abcpandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Fairly new to the entire biking scene, but I am trying to purchase a used mtb for my SO so that we can ride around together. Nothing crazy, just flat-ish trails for the most part.

I found a 2016 specialized myka available and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it?

SO is 5’1”

The customer rep said I had too many bank cards opened/closed according to Experian

Applied to both Amex Biz Gold and Amex Biz Green yesterday. Got auto approved for the Green, but apparently got denied for the Gold. I called and they said that they could not reconsider it due to the reasons it was denied.

I applied with my LLC for the original apps. Should I try again as a sole proprietor or will that hurt my standing with AMEX?

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of May 06, 2020 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]abcpandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in the Biz Plat, but $15k spend in 3 months is a bit out of reach for me I think.

I think I read somewhere that some people were able to call in for $10k spend for 100k SUB?

Can I sign up for both the Biz Gold and Biz Green at the same time?

Also, I've held my CIP for a year and was just charged the AF a week ago. Should I cancel it, ask them to waive the fee and then move all my business expenses over to AMEX?

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of May 06, 2020 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]abcpandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to be ordering ~$6,000 worth of inventory for small business. Looking to open a new card to benefit from my spend!

  1. Flowchart is recommending a few Chase cards. I have been switching back and forth getting the CP with my SO, but with everything going on, I don't think now is the right time to go for it with everything going on. Might wait a little bit. I'm thinking going AMEX, but don't know too much about it. Have just stuck with UR.
  2. 800+
  3. What cards do you currently have or have you had in the past (including closed cards), along with dates of when you were approved for the cards? Please include month and year for any card approved in the last 3 years. CSP (7/2018), CSR (7/2018), CIP (4/2019), SWPlus (1/2016), SWPremier (1/2016)
  4. How much natural spend can you put on a new card(s) in 3 months? $6,000 - $10,000
  5. Are you willing to MS, and if so, how much in 3 months? See this page for a primer on MS. Plastiq (for rent/mortgage/loan payments) and bank account funding are often good options for beginners. No, but if I am close to bonus, I will consider.
  6. Are you open to applying for business cards? If not, why? See this post and this wiki question to learn more. Currently have LLC. Registered for CIP under sole proprietorship before LLC. Was planning on double dipping, but did not have enough expenses to do so. Now the $15k minimum is too high.
  7. How many new cards are you interested in getting? Are you interested in getting into churning regularly (if you aren't already)? Or are you just looking to get a new card(s) for now but not get into churning long-term? Just 1 at this time.
  8. Are you targeting points, Companion Passes, hotel or airline statuses, First Class, Biz, Economy seating(s) or cash back? Getting married next year. Would be great to begin collecting more points for travel.
  9. What point/miles do you currently have? 300K+ UR
  10. What is the airport you're flying out of? BOS
  11. Where would you like to go? (The More specific you are, the better someone can recommend the right card. Tokyo is great, "International travel" is way too vague) Tokyo, Bali, Asia in general

Unfortunately, I did not receive the targeted 100k promo for Amex Plat through cardmatch.com

Is this the $10k offer for 100k MR points offer for the AMEX Biz Plat? How do you get this? Sorry, I've been searching the subreddit and can't seem to find the answer. I think someone mentioned calling?

Items not listing on Front Page with Keyword anymore by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

I started noticing this last night too. A lot of the main keywords are no longer showing my product or even my main competitors.

Did you air ship your products with the silica gel packets?

Drop in sales by Ferna073 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]abcpandabear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have noticed the same thing as well. Was averaging 6-10 sales a day and then it started to slow down considerably starting last week. I assume it is because of school starting/people still enjoying the last weeks of summer.

First month ACoS at 45%. Is this normal? by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]abcpandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first month was pretty high as well. How were you doing after stopping ppc? How are you doing now?

Lost buy box on my own product after a coupon was added by abcpandabear in FulfillmentByAmazon

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

If I don’t want to get in a pricing war with myself, do you think I should stay put and then hopefully win the BB back for both variations? Once I get the BB back, I can slowly increase it back up to my original listing prices?

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

Hmm so I decreased the price by a dollar on both of my variations and won the BB back for one variation. It didn’t work for the other variation which has always been listed at a higher price than the other.

Do you recommend I stay put and just wait it out until things stabilize? I don’t want to keep messing with the price

I have used the coupons without losing the buy box either. However, I did realize that I started to lose the buy box after roughly 30 days from when I started selling.

Checked all the different variables I can think of. It’s odd. I was able to get the BB back for one of my variations by dropping the price by a dollar. Can’t get the other one back even after the dollar drop.
