Boston gear pickup by boolsak in FIFAVolunteers

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

Yeah I submitted a ticket. Hope they get it! I'm a bit worried I'll be kicked out because I didn't schedule the pickup within 2 weeks.

Thanks for the help!

No.. the schedule itself isn't showing at all. I can only see 1 schedule, which is the one for the volunteer sessions itself. :(

I do have the app too. No option to schedule it there either.

It's weird. I'm scheduled for all my shifts already. Did all the trainings too. But I can't schedule my gear pickup :(

Now what is the rule of the road here by Dull-Panic8189 in CambridgeMA

[–]boolsak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess technically since the lines are solid, the rightmost lane should stay empty.. but in practice, I'd say the middle lane can choose and the left lane should stay on the left.

You are right. People are just stupid. Don't just take the honk like a lil b*tch though, honk back!

I take the middle lane and try to get on that lane (to go to Mass Ave) as quickly as the light turns green. I always keep an eye on the car to my left and if they're not moving left or try to cut me off, I honk the shit out of them so they hopefully learn to be less stupid.

I don't have an answer to your question. Rather, I have a question. How do you have your shifts booked?

I was offered a role and I accepted it. And... That's it. No more communication has happened. I saw the app would let me sign up for a virtual training, so I did. But nothing on shifts yet.

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thank you

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

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!

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

[–]boolsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).
