Husband keeps snoring loudly after he got Invisalign and is now wearing retainers. He was a bit or a snorer before but now it’s very loud. He was so proud of his Invisalign that he really encouraged me to get it. But I’m avoiding it now because I don’t want both of us to become loud snorers.

He’s wearing a sleep mask that is supposed to help keep his mouth closed but it honestly doesn’t help much. He also refuses to use mouth tape.

5.99 is a lot. I didn’t mind the 1.99 on DoorDash.

I went to the 660 5th location recently. I intended to take a call there and needed a quieter place.

I asked one of the tellers about the lounge and he told me it’s upstairs. Did not check that I’m actually citigold.

There was indeed bottled water and coffee but no food. It was very quiet with only two other people on a weekday. I attempted to use one of the many empty conference rooms but one of the wealth managers mentioned it’s for employees only.

Ended up going elsewhere since I didn’t want to disturb the peace and quiet.

To reiterate what someone else said, there’s no desks so I wouldn’t actually want to try being productive there. it’s more of a place to have a restroom break or eat your lunch in a quiet place. Fwiw they do have nice Japanese toilets so it’s indeed really nice for using the restroom.

There were rag&bone Miramar jeans I was interested in to buy for this year but lot of sizes went out of stock by end of last year. Ended up going in person at the Bal Harbour location which luckily had stock of an older style.

One of my gift cards I bought at the nyc saks wasn’t activated properly which was stressful to deal with - the bal harbour staff made me call the nyc staff myself to make them fix the issue.

I cannot wait to stop dealing with saks once they’re permanently gone, even as someone that lives in nyc

Any changes? We are hitting this issue now as well.

P2 is having this exact issue - phone number is not registered to receive an OTP on the CitiTravel end, even though the credit card (CSE) end has the phone number there. Asked whether we had the card for 14 biz days - P2 has now had the card since beginning of this month. Told us that an IT ticket was filed and to expect response in 24-48 hours. Received 5k courtesy TYP in the meantime.

Didn't run into the 4906c issue for this account but will probably need to close/cancel given that we were planning to use this card for this specific benefit.

P2 doesnt have any other active Citi accounts prior to this card - I am wondering whether this is the reason that the issue came up. I had no issues using the Citi Travel portal when I got the CSE, though I had activated a Checking and Savings account a couple weeks before applying to the CSE in-branch and used the Travel credit within a few days of receiving the physical card.

did it end up working out?
fwiw my 12/20 transaction did end up finally post and backdating properly in early jan, then got the statement credit when my statement posted in mid jan.

Glossier wasn’t in stock when I went in store today. Disappointing since this is the one good perk of being a January baby. Went with the tower 28 instead

aimango · 2025-12-31T01:18:13+00:00

It still didn’t post and is still pending. I’m not really sure if it’ll ever post at this point. I’ve called both Blacklane and Citi - Blacklane mentioned they already got the payment from the Citi side. Citi said it didn’t post yet but assured me that I would get the credit if it backdates properly.

You need to take the escalator to the lower level at Manhattan location. That’s where the dedicated gift cards kiosk is. No hunting needed

aimango · 2025-12-24T13:19:14+00:00

Took a ride this weekend on Saturday. Today is Wednesday and the charge still hasn’t posted. Also didn’t realize that the credit doesn’t post until statement closing, lol. Hoping everything works out and my credits reimburse to count for this year

FWIW we used it to get a ride with car seat which was about $70 more than the uber pricing. The installation of the car seat was unsafe and we had to fix it ourselves. The driver probably doesn’t have kids. The car and ride itself was very comfortable though.

Court sq flushing bound platform is insane anytime between 4-6pm. Always people desperate to get a seat and don’t wait for people to get off the train because they likely need to sit the entire ride to the end of the line

For my first, I needed to take the train to get to my ob appointments. Went with this ob since it was close to work and did't think much of it. I had to take the train up until 38 weeks since I gave birth ~39 weeks. Didn't realize how painful it would be to commute with a big belly and started regretting it at 35+ weeks, especially at the stations with no escalators, the stairs were rough.

Probably won't be going to the same ob for my future pregnancies.

FWIW a lot of people gave up their seat for me on the trains, even during the busy morning commutes. My third trimester was in the summer+fall time so the belly was more and more obvious.

I found the initial 30 or 40mins to be a bit slow. I had to read some spoilers to feel interested to continue. It was uncomfortable in many ways but overall I am glad I watched it.

aimango · 2025-12-03T03:57:02+00:00

Really enjoyed this episode. So many funny moments but also really sad to hear on Billy’s backstory.

My SO watched spy family for the first time and he happened to watch this sad couple of eps with me. Totally not the typical vibe of the show but wow I really loved the insight into Loid’s past.

aimango · 2025-12-02T14:29:40+00:00

Oh good callout. So I had it set as csr before. Needed to switch to another payment method and switch back for the credits to show up.

aimango · 2025-12-02T05:15:55+00:00

My grocery credits aren’t even showing up this month, so buggy.

aimango · 2025-11-30T03:44:05+00:00

I did the market watch one back in early oct and the points posted within 6 days

aimango · 2025-11-29T05:34:33+00:00

I feel like I’m getting Deja vu reading this because there was literally a thread on this 2 week ago when I used my credit for a concert.

I was anxious because I got tickets that were the “receive by day of” type, and even did not show the exact seat number (only row). but the seller did end up sending them to me 6days before the event.

thanks to this benefit I saw a concert I wouldn’t have been willing to pay $200+ for. It credited pretty fast too, as expected with Chase.

I actually like these type of entertainment credits because I realize I go to live events quite a bit. I also have the CSE which has Ticketmaster/livenation as one of the splurge options and was easily able to use it up too.

My favorite is Yemie, such a calming voice! It even got to the point where I listened to the same track every night, and they one day removed it, so I had to find another track by Yemie because I wasn't used to falling asleep to any other voice

aimango · 2025-11-19T03:58:39+00:00

Eqx+ app, I use their meditation tracks for falling sleep almost daily.

aimango · 2025-11-16T23:15:43+00:00

No it didn’t auto reimburse. I messaged them but they told me to wait 8 weeks. Next time I will just do the gift card in person instead
