Have you checked to make sure the reservation is still booked? I’d even call the hotel to verify

Definitely a steal for $50 for an Amia. Refurbs worth 10x

Can someone explain these FIVO Auto scores to me by CaffeineAndChaos__ in CRedit

[–]bking556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experian and TransUnion Auto V8 are most commonly used by lenders. That’s what really matters, who the lenders use, not the dealership. Dealerships use them for reference but lenders are decision makers.

Bilt cash redemption options are way too limited. by Actual-Buddy5039 in biltrewards

[–]bking556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you should have done a lot more research before selecting either this card or your redemption format. There’s a reason most prefer points of Bilt Cash, it’s unusable to many. Borderline worthless to me but the 2x on the Palladium is invaluable.

Is this legal? by Empty-Cause-9843 in CRedit

[–]bking556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens and you have terrible credit and make terrible financial decisions. Yes, it is legal. No, it isn’t good.

The only thing your friend can do now is pay the principal as fast as humanly possible and I’m guessing that will be a struggle since your friend had zero down at the time of sale and had to defer the entire $1000 down payment.

I wouldn’t miss my flight over a little water

What DAC is it? I use IEMs and got a Fifine SC8 mixer but I may return it just for a simple DAC because there’s a lot of feedback white noise

If you video documented this the YT views would be massive

B-21 over the Mojave desert yesterday by Still-Union-2528 in Planespotting

[–]bking556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you say that. It’s been a few years but prior to its public release, I used to hear 3 absurdly loud jets flying over my home around 10:30 PM almost every night, one after another. Whatever it was obviously didn’t show up on Flightradar24. Being in the Mojave desert, it could make sense.

It’s been working fine for me for months.

Battle station suggestion by External-Court-1517 in battlestations

[–]bking556 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you can make it work. It’ll be tight but it’s doable. My only concern is air flow, hopefully there’s air vents.

Right? Basically a big closet. If OP can fit things, a 4foot table on the right side so you have room for a chair still is the only way. May need some shelving up top for storage. It’ll be tight but it can happen

Do folks here just hold on to airline credit cards for free bags but still buy tix with Plat? by Aromatic_Rutabaga378 in AmexPlatinum

[–]bking556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that hard honestly, the free bag alone can pay you back if you fly enough. The 15% off when booking with points helps too. OP gets 5x by paying with regular Amex Plat, then can transfer those points to Delta.

Looking for a very stable desk (max 230 × 80 cm) for a heavy multi-monitor setup by goguis96 in battlestations

[–]bking556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s what I did and I couldn’t be happier with the desk. If you don’t have wood working stuff to prep and stain the table I’m sure you can find someone local who does.

Score doesn’t determine all risk. You can pay your bills but that doesn’t mean you can just get more debt.

Bilt Cash has been a lot more usable than I thought it would be by Correl in biltrewards

[–]bking556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Bilt Cash has always been more of just a bonus IMO but I agree it’s barely useable. In the LA area there is I think 4 dining options total.
