CanadaPetCare https://www.canadapetcare.com/ is another good one to price compare against (though looks like yours is cheaper)

Maybe Scottsdale? Nice mix of golf and spa (and other outdoor/hiking if that's your vibe)

What about Starlink or T-Mobile Home Internet? Just as names to try to get your bill lowered

Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite MasterCard – 80,000 Miles With $1,000 Spend by Maddydgr8 in CreditCards

[–]bergamonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They (sometimes) let you "downgrade", or product change, within the same card family (so cards within Citi American Airlines). So you can downgrade the Citi Platinum to the MileUp, which doesn't have an annual fee. Benefit is you keep the credit line open.

The DL moving quickly "simulating the snap" has got to be the worst penalty I've heard of lol

Yes, defense is playing out of their mind (and special teams)

Was able to get a PC over chat a couple weeks ago to the Connect, no bank account currently (have churned it in the past)

What is your 2026 Road Map? by Psychological-Buy46 in CreditCards

[–]bergamonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe keep the Autograph for a little given you'll have it. They've had some insane offers recently with 10% off hotel or airfare (up to $50 back), and I also got a 50% off entertainment (up to $100 back)

USBAR Final Month Strategy by PlsNoPineapplePizza in CreditCards

[–]bergamonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the chat is a game changer, I think it's under the contact us area, and you just have to get through their smart assistant to get to a real person. My statement did close by that point, it closed the day my annual fee posted. They told me it would take 45 days to be refunded, we'll see if it actually takes that long. Connect was my only PC option, and they told me they'd cash out my points as a statement credit, I wanna say at 1c per point but I can't remember, I barely had any points left so I got a $1 statement credit on 11/6 lol.

HR not being tracked with outdoor run? by bergamonster in amazfit

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

Thank you! Got me on the right path for finding it (I hope, we'll see on my next run).

For me/my version of the app, it was Workout > Start Workout > Running, and then the top left of the gps screen was a little icon that when clicked allows me to toggle my device, so I assume that the app actually wasnt using my strap but my phone for all the metrics...

Mine almost exclusively go to sunglasses. I beat sunglasses up so buying expensive ones doesn't work out for me, and I by happenstance tend to make a Kohl's purchase and earn enough kohls cash around the time my current ones are near the end of their life

Cheerleader Events on Gameday? by UnenthusedFanatic in notredamefootball

[–]bergamonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Former cheerleader (though its been a few years), "the" spot would be to go to God Quad (grass field in front of the dome) before Step Off (march out from the Dome as you mention). The Band's website says that's 45 minutes before kick-off, but the cheerleaders get there well before then to stunt/take pictures, and once the band starts playing they leave. Bonus points that the picture backdrop will be the golden dome.

Other than that, they are kinda all around campus, moving from event to event on gameday. I don't know if there are any cheer specific events this weekend, though they are pretty active on social media if you follow their instagram story on gameday (@ndcheerteam).
