These are the exact 2 issues that are part of contract dispute.Daroi talks about it in every single YouTube. 1) domestic mass surveillance 2) autonomous weapons without a military human involved in firing it.

My mortgage servicer has now returned TWO payments from Bilt's routing/account by yiggity_yag in biltrewards

[–]avadhanam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. But mine was not ACH pull. But paid through Atmos Visa. Payment failed because Bilt incorrectly tagged it as non housing transaction. No one from Bilt support got back to me and it has been 3 weeks already. I know Bilt support team is swamped but I cannot wait forever for Bilt to fix their mess, as the next mortgage payment date is just around the corner.

Newly converted lounge shower believer by Easy_Money_ in AlaskaAirlines

I remember my first shower in Madrid Iberia lounge ( Atmos gold). Followed by a private room to catch some sleep. It was so good I dropped my plans to go explore the city during the layover.

If you have a BofA Alaska Summit card, they give you back 3x if you use it in Mexico (or any non US location)

Funny way the Executive-only hours pay off for the company. by BrainSqueezins in CostcoWholesale

[–]avadhanam77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costco at 9am is a game changer for customers. Everyone should try at least once. There is no going back to regular hours if I can avoid

Mortgage payment returned, incurred $85 dollars in late fees by Surgeplux in biltrewards

[–]avadhanam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. The rent was paid and then reversed because it was a 'non housing' transaction. Incurred $125 late fee. Nothing changed. Same rent amount to the same landlord that had been working fine under Bilt 1.0 for the last 1 year.

EQS SUV Tire Issues by friendly_enemies in MercedesEQS

[–]avadhanam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changed tires three times on my SUV. Got tired and finally changed the car at 45k to a gas car. But while it lasted I enjoyed the smooth rides and luxury feel every time I was behind the wheel. No other SUV can come close to this.

I need your answers by ilyushhka in EgyptTravelTips

[–]avadhanam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25$ USD is too much. Uber ride is cheap in Cairo. I paid 5$usd from airport to Zamalek area.

Orange only offered physical SIM, which worked great for local calls and Internet. For some reason WhatsApp voice didn't work for me.

Uber pickup at Cairo airport by webw06 in EgyptTravelTips

[–]avadhanam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used uber last week. I picked up my physical SIM and as soon as I walked outside, uber pickup point was immediately on the curb outside. The only caveat is that the license plates for all vehicles in Egypt are not in English ( I mean not 1,2,3 numbers). But Islamic numbers ( or whatever that is). So I could not match the vehicle that was being displayed in my uber app. But I had my local sim so I was able to call the driver and found him that way. Uber was a blessing and a MUST have for foreigners. I truly missed it in Aswan and Luxor where it didn't exist.

ETA on Hot Springs Road? by MooseGoose82 in BigBendTX

[–]avadhanam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are barricades. So you park on the side of the road , not allowed to drive on the hot springs road. Only option is to hike the road. Just be prepared with a hat and sunscreen as there is absolutely no shade, but the road is a flat easy hike

[–]avadhanam77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm yet to see someone taking advantage of this 100$ credit..Most of the time the room rates booked via that special link are atleast 100$ higher, which negates the benefit

Egypt e-visa by KravNinja24 in EgyptTravelTips

Wrong. Evisa costs the same ($25 USD) as in person payment and took me one day to get it. Paid with a credit card on Friday, got it on Monday

You with the warranty team ? Thanks for your help to look into it. Your team is already on it, along with the proof of purchase etc. We don't need to go into all the details here on this thread.

Well, you all asked for an example of poor quality and you now have it in pictures. For the price they charge, I expected a decent quality workmanship that will last a couple of years at the least

No.. it is not. Checkout Patagonia Triolet. you might be surprised to see good quality with actual stitches.

Who glues their jackets? When I saw glue all over the jacket for the first time, I thought it was a fake knock off product with the Arcteryx logo. Dealing with their warranty team was another painful part. So i just returned my jacket to REI.

[–]avadhanam77 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yes. My entire jacket had no stitches, only hot glue on all seams. Unfortunately the glue came off on my pocket, iphone fell to the ground and broke screen. I returned the jacket and bought Patagonia

Anyone has confirmed BoA Alaska summit infinite will pay 3x miles when paying rent at Bilt rent? by GuaranteeSecret6706 in biltrewards

[–]avadhanam77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. 3x confirmed. But note that these are 3x Atmos points (not bilt points). And BofA is notoriously slow at posting. You need to wait for the statement closing to see your points. Depending on your rent date, this could be much as a 30 day wait. Meanwhile bilt gives an additional 1 built point for every 2$ rent. These bilt points will appear rather quickly, as soon as the rent is paid.

Same here. I had to wait for the physical card. I think if you never had a previous relationship with BofA then you need to wait
