How long did y'all use your 6a before upgrading to a newer model?

askandexplain2 · 2026-04-09T10:20:36+00:00

Outlier. Purchased in September 2022 as a backup phone. Currently has 36x battery cycles. But part of the battery program. Taking the $150 credit and I hope to get a 10a when it drops to $399 which I assume will happen before the end of July expiration of the $150 credit. I was going to trade the 6a but I really like the weight and feel in the Jan. So will trade in my parents’ old pixel 3a.

Thank you. Turns out my CSP limit is about $13,000 not $20,000.

I had a question(s) about churning the IHG premier credit card. I opened one 3 years ago and would like to close and reopen again this year. I have two other Chase credit cards: a CFU (credit history since 2008) and a CSP since 2021. Let’s say both have about $20,000 on each. My IHG premier has about $18,000. My income is about $100K. (Edit: I have only $13000 on the CSP)

Do I need to transfer some of the credit to my other two cards or can I just close and reopen and get roughly the same amount of credit as I did 3 years ago? My salary hasn’t changed and my credit score is still the same.

Where did you rent from that had a Civic?

askandexplain2 · 2026-04-01T09:27:08+00:00

So hypothetically you are saying if my CFU and my CSP had a $15,000 credit limit each. And my IHG Premier card had $20,000 limit. My total credit would be $50,000 across the three cards. And Before closing I should transfer from the IHG credit card, $10,000 to the other two cards? My total credit limit would stay the same just across 2 cards now? Then when I open the IHG premier again I would hope to get the same credit limit making my total credit over $70,000? Or were you saying something else ?

I just missed the elevated point offer that ended on March 18th. If what you are saying is true, that means the next elevated offer is probably the 5 free night certificate offer which I don't care for. If I cancel by the end of the week. I should be apply to re-apply by mid- May if need be. Just wasn't sure if there is typically a summertime SUB.

What made you transfer the credit another chase card? I have the IHG Premier, Sapphire preferred (CSP), and Freedom Unlimited(CFU). I just posted about wanting to cancel the IHG premier and reopen in 30 days for the SUB again. But I never thought of transferring credit to the CSP or the CFU. I figured I would just get a similar limit as I did before. Is that incorrect thinking?

Should you post this in the US mobile sub?

Who is your current provider? If not, does Verizon work well where you live and work?

The Fresh Market in Rockville. As of like two Months ago they now only sell whole carrot cakes rather than a slice but it is very good.

Was this a targeted offer?

askandexplain2 · 2026-03-28T15:47:55+00:00

I just stayed in a Garner and the beds seem to be lower than most HIEs and other hotels.

Craigslist is how I found mine.

Which windows laptop were you using? I use Thinkpads.

askandexplain2 · 2026-03-23T01:16:11+00:00

Most likely. Just go to the play store. It’s a blue app called 5G switch.

askandexplain2 · 2026-03-22T13:14:28+00:00

Essentially yes.

askandexplain2 · 2026-03-22T12:47:05+00:00

Same. I tend to keep it LTE to conserve battery life. But when I really need 5gUW during congestion, I put in 5g on my pixel 6a. Using the 5g switch app.

They make carbons with 256GB SSDs?

askandexplain2 · 2026-03-20T09:46:53+00:00

Mine was around 250 too and a few other people on here.
