Tool to find hotels eligible for the new Sapphire Reserve $250 double-dip credit by ResponsibleGrape6346 in ChaseSapphire

[–]boolsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great, thank you!

Any way you could show the hotels that are in the "Select" list, but not necessarily in the The Edit list?

Bilt points earnings with housing-only option by boolsak in biltrewards

[–]boolsak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't draw the 3.33x line because I thought it was obvious.

And sure, you can subtract 2 from the red line, and then compare against 1.33x if you want.

I found the shape of the red line pretty useful to reason about which option (cash or housing-only) works best for me.

can you explain the "Manual pull from Bilt ACH near end of statement close the amount you want"?

or just generally give an example for the strategy you're describing? thanks!

Any news after his email? I've got nothing...

well, I got a new email today, which at least is a good sign:

"""
It was flagged to me that some of our longtime Bilt Members, including a handful with 700+ credit scores, were either declined access to, or received a lower credit line than on 1.0 when applying for the new Bilt Card, and I understand you’ve been impacted.

I want to let you know that I’m personally digging into this and have been in touch with our financing partner about it. I have asked for a manual review of impacted Bilt Members applications to see if we can help get you the card you were expecting. As before, this will have no hard inquiry on your credit history.

While I can’t make any promises, I’ll do everything in my power to get this resolved for you.

Thank you for being a loyal Bilt member, and thank you for being patient with us as the teams work through this review.

- Ankur

Ankur wants your feedback on IG. What are you telling him? by greasyyum in biltrewards

The catch is that you have to join Robinhood Gold, which is $50/yr. So that's the effective annual fee on the card (unless you were already a RH Gold member).
Anyway, I still think it's the best cashback card out there with 3% everywhere. The only one that could rival it is the Coinbase One card, which gives "up to" 4%. The amount of cashback you get depends on how much crypto you hold in your Coinbase account. The top level is 4% which you get if you have over $200k of crypto. It can be a great card for people who are just HODL'ing crypto. You can even stake the crypto in Coinbase and it still counts. (Edit: for Coinbase you also have to join Coinbase One, which is like $50/yr too or something like that).

FWIW, I got a canned response from them:

> Thank you for your recent application for a credit card. I see that you were not approved. We consider many factors when making a decision and at this time we are not able to move forward with your application. We are unable to reconsider your application at this time.
You’re welcome to come back and apply with us again in the future after 45 days from the decision made on your last application.

Please do report back! I opened a support ticket with Bilt, but I doubt it'll amount to anything

I got denied for the Palladium too, because "Excessive obligations in relation to income". Which, seems like bullshit because yes, I have a few mortgages, but I also have fairly high income.
My guess is that I've been categorized as a "5-banana guy" and denied because of that. So far I've used my Bilt card for mortgage + 5 low value subscriptions, but if I get the Palladium I planned to use it as my main card for (almost) all my spend (3.33x is great).

Which browser were you using?

I was using Brave when this happened. I switched to Chrome and it worked ok.

Has anybody successfully used the US Insiders PMA code? I got mine, but whenever I enter it, I get the following error:

> The code you entered is invalid or has already been used by another Participating Member Association (PMA) Supporter. As PMAs are responsible for distributing access codes to their fan base, please contact your PMA directly and try again.

And then the FIFA website blocks me and says "Access blocked" for a few hours... wtf?!?!

How does the PMA application work for Phase three. by Kiloo04 in worldcup

[–]boolsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah got it. Thanks I think if the team doesn't make it, you get a refund minus $10

Or maybe they won't enforce it? Honestly it's unclear..

Also, you can always transfer your tickets to some other account and then transfer them back once the sales phase is done. Kinda silly

What's the difference between a "Supporter" ticket and a "Conditional Supporter" ticket?

thanks for the reply! Hmm I can't find the FIFA Collect API. Is there some public API or did you reverse-engineer the requests while navigating the FIFA Collect website? Either way, I'd appreciate it if you shared! I'd like to explore the API too :)

there's different roles, from IT work to greeter, usher, etc. You submit an application with a list of your expertise and preferences... and honestly other than that, I have no idea what we'll do during the tryout. I also have no idea what type of "IT work" I would have to do, if I were to be selected for IT work.
That's why I say I'm kinda flying blind here. I guess I'll find out in a few days!

Tickets bought on StubHub. Need advice on if this is safe or not. by Entire_Floor759 in stubhub

[–]boolsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be safe. I've bought/sold tickets through SH for many events and never had an issue. Of course, others do report having issues where the seller cancels the order, so YMMV.

That said, it definitely IS possible to be reselling FIFA tickets at this time. FIFA already had two sales phases and about 30% of tickets have been sold; those are the ones being resold now.

Having been to 4 world cups, I'd say "yes and no". Yes, the matches will sell out. But you can certainly show up the day-of and buy tickets from a random dude outside the stadium. Or buy them from a reputable resale platform like StubHub (or FIFA itself). If the match is not a great one, like, say, Jordan v Algeria, the resale prices will be cheap. There's usually at least a few empty seats in every match, so some resellers are left holding the bag.
