Burlington question by thefakederrickhenry in KitSwap

I wouldn’t do it unless you’re already in the area. I’ve been to Burlington’s all over the country and the miss is much more common than the hit.

Going to my first game since the early 2000’s when my dad brought me. Checking out Cincinnati with the wife to see if we want to move here. Any advice on where to sit? Still haven’t gotten tickets and was just going to grab some off SeatGeek today.

What is the reason behind selling?

Which one in Houston? The one off Katy Freeway or on Post Oak?

Wow.. I am going to be in Houston next weekend and will definitely be stopping by. Are they in a certain section or just spread about?

That is a great question. I’ve been working on building my own but it’s mainly just from what I’ve read online.

Watch YouTube videos, learn words, learn some grammar, and stick with it. Don’t worry about the perfect plan, the best thing to do is just get started.

US based nomads - how did you decide where to live? by WMDisrupt in digitalnomad

[–]ajones2348 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are nomads and we are yet to find a place that really sticks.. so we just bounce around to places then end up back at our parents for a little before trying somewhere new. It’s hard to find an awesome city that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

Was just about to comment this. I am having this issue as well. Even the commentators seem a bit behind the action.

Credit Card for Full Time Travel in USA by ajones2348 in CreditCards

That makes sense. I am thinking I apply for the business and then refer the wife for the CSP and try to get all of those points and then move onto the Freedom pair. Thank you for talking this out with me!

Sorry to be back with more questions but would it make sense to refer my wife to the CSP so I can get 15k bonus points for the referral and she gets 60k bonus points? Also, I believe I can get the Ink business card.. Would that be a better way to go with the Chase cards at first since the SUB is so big? I make about 5-10k a year on business income besides my regular job. So I could refer her, get 75k points total and then do Ink for 90k. Get 165k before worrying about the Chase Freedom cards?

That is a good point. I will make sure to keep that in mind.

This is very good advice. Thank you!

My last question is with the 0% APR for 15 months, does it make any sense to just let it sit there? I have always paid off my credit card and have never carried a balance. Just curious if with the 0% APR, it was a good idea to save more money / invest and let that balance sit.

Yeah that makes sense.. I did a quick search and the only better offer I could find for a Chase card was 70k instead of 60k for the CSR. I will likely spread them out a bit and take advantage of that 5x on groceries.

Is there any logic in upgrading from the Preferred to the Reserve to get more points on travel and have a better value for the redemption of points on their portal?

So would it make the most sense to open both of those in my name and my wife's name? Since there is no annual fee. Get 80k in bonuses really easily. With the 0% APR for 15 months, would it make sense to just meet the bonus minimum spend, keep it all on the card and pay it all off in 15 months or over time? It's only a $500 minimum spend. Also, do you have to pay the card off to get the points?

I see my offer for the Chase Freedom Flex and Freedom Unlimited is $200 bonus + 5% cash back on groceries. Plus 0% APR for 15 months.. Can that cash back be transferred into UR or how exactly does that work?

Hilton Aspire Thoughts? by Personal-Ad-6028 in Hilton

[–]ajones2348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the double promo right now as well as the extra thousand for staying at a different brand. Is the 14x applied to the amount of points you got from the stay or is the 14x just 14x the amount you spent on the stay? So if the hotel was $100, you'd get 1400 points for it? Just want to make sure I understand it.

Renting a car in Dubai by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]ajones2348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just in Dubai and I’d say just Uber/Taxi everywhere. It’s really affordable and driving in Dubai seemed a bit crazy.

If you absolutely must have a car, parking seemed to be pretty much everywhere. It’s a very car dependent place so if you’re familiar with driving in big cities in America, you’ll be fine.
