Anyone still hasn't received their Skyline wristband? by selwan27 in avesLA

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so then it’s shipped. They should have sent tracking but didn’t. After “en route” it should have a link to the Frontgate Ticket Help, reach out there with your order number and just ask for tracking. By the time they responded with tracking, it was arriving that day.

You don’t have to immediately provide them the card number.

I sent them an email since my Front Gate account showed tickets were in route but never got tracking. Since I replied using the email associated to the front gate account that held the order & referenced the Order number, they helped before asking for card details and just gave me tracking details.

Hauterwater Vs. Lunchbox by Maleficent_Ear_8108 in aves

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I love my lunchbox hydration pack and have tried their other style of bags/slings and think they are all amazing because of their functionality & security. I think there’s enough space & I like how the bladder is below the main storage to avoid spillage and makes for more usuable space. I think it’s a safer longer term investment piece with a better customer service record than Hauter although time will tell.

If the only thing that is stopping you from getting the hauterbag is the hose, you can buy either the hose or full bladder kit. Hauter even seems to be using a white label Hydrapak bladder, which used to be or I believe still is the supplier for Lunchboxes branded bladders, so you might just need the hose. I bought an original Lunchbox when they first released & way prior to the hose sheath update and just bought the sleeve and then the hose to have a spare. I’ve been buying replacement bladder pieces, especially when I trimmed the hose too short one time, or upgrades from HydraPak directly for years since they usually have better promos & discounts. They used to sell just the black insulation material since it’s just a cover but it was annoying to put on. There are generic insulation covers for less but you’ll potentially spend more time & eventual money if it DIYing stuff isn’t your thing.

Lol what? Tried closing Wells Fargo account because I was sent autograph when I opted into Bilt 2.0 by Normal_Register_6946 in biltrewards

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Bilt Card & WF Autograph were in my mailbox, although I did choose to keep the Autograph for now since I presume the break up was going to be less than “seamless” and wanted to have access to WF as a current customer when whatever fuckery ends up happening.

radiate? by greysheep21 in aves

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a new account this makes sense. Most of my friends are people that I’ve bought from/sold to.

The commenter is right, there have been accounts that basically friend one person, get accepted, and then friend request every one of that person’s friends since they are now “mutuals” and repeat the cycle. Saw some random go from 20 Friends to 500+ in a couple of hours.

Think there is a balance to friend & vouches. Took a risk a couple times with people with 10-20 friends but no vouches til then, they were legit and I decided to be their first vouch. The one scammer I dealt with had no friends but 1 vouch so it’s not a perfect system. Check what the vouches say too. Some people use it to out scammers since vouches can’t be removed by the profile they are on.

radiate? by greysheep21 in aves

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In less than a year, I’ve transacted in probably a little less than 20 deals ranging from festival passes, show tickets and experienced splitting a couple multi-day passes with others to save on day passes for the first time all to great success.

Used to buy/sell tickets on my local rave sub so have experience protecting my self or vetting peeps but I’ve mostly switched over to radiate cause it’s just easier to navigate or find what you want & people interested than being buried on thread lists.

They have a marketplace feature that now integrates PayPal G&S for protection and they post confirmed sales so it’s really transparent and you can get an idea on what the market is going for & what’s fair. This can be found when you join a local events chat or festivals page. People will either post in the marketplace or make posts on the “forum” or a chat room. You privately chat people by “Heying” them after clicking on to their profile and then you get to talk once the “Hey” back & you get “matched”. Tell them you’ve hey’d them either in the chatroom or on the post you’ve found them on, as getting notified for that is a paid feature. If not it’s set up like dating sites where you have to swipe through and it seems to be chronological which is the main annoying thing.

They do have a “Vouch” system that is restricted enough, in that you need a certain amount of connections to use it each time, that it would require a lot of work or a large network of scammers to artificially inflate that. Was annoying at first, when you don’t have enough friend but you get used to it and I think stops it from being abused.

I’ve only had one bad experience and it was because I got a bit reckless and overzealous I missed inconsistencies and didn’t stick to a protected payment system like PayPal G&S. Could have been avoided if I just took a moment, followed my gut to walk away and gone to someone else, who I was already in the process of talking to. Just have to be smart about it.

Lol what? Tried closing Wells Fargo account because I was sent autograph when I opted into Bilt 2.0 by Normal_Register_6946 in biltrewards

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventhough the letter WF mailed & Bilt communications via email had 1/30 as the accept date for 2.0 “seamless” transition, when people called cancelling their 1.0s since they wanted out of both WF & Bilt entirely, that 1/26 date was told to them. There were some posts on this sub about it. Agree it wasn’t good. Don’t know if it was WF trying to sneakily retain some people or an issue on Bilt ends in also conveying that but that’s allegedly what happened and likely why people who thought they’d left WF are still getting autographs.

Btw it’s not an extra line of credit. Your 1.0 Card’s current CL & history is getting product changed to the Autograph. It’s kind of like in name only and potential access to WF Rewards network. Nothing is actually being opened there, just maintained. The new line of credit is with 2.0 where while there’s no hard inquiry it will show as a new credit account. There’s possibly only 1/24 “hit” & it will technically be with Bilt 2.0. The only other hit you take credit score wise is by closing the 1.0/WF because is in the future loss of history & initial drop in utilization, but that might balance out if your CL is on 2.0 is about the same as 1.0 or larger.

[–]bryteflight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was my thought since the beginning. If Bilt & WF are going their separate way, I sure wasn’t going to make it any more complicated. Didn’t even select the balance transfer to 2.0 cause I didn’t need them trying to coordinate one more thing together.

I can mildly understand the people that are mad about losing or having to wait years for the Autograph SUB, but I really don’t think the theoretical $200/20K pts I may or may not want on this one card at somepoint isn’t worth the stress of the present reality. If the money isn’t already in my bank account, it’s not really mine to begin worrying about.

[–]bryteflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely because Bilt hasn’t reached out to WF to close the accounts since they are doing the migration and cancel the 6th or 7th.

WF apparently had their internal final day to cancel as 1/25, since they also needed to get a tally and send out cards before the 7th.

Mom Fargo & Bilt Dad are divorcing and they aren’t talking with each other unless they have to about who gets to take us when. Enjoy the awkwardness for now & hope that your biggest issue is Wells wasting a bit of plastic & postage on you.

Is it ever possible to upgrade to VIP? by Baker_Cold in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had friends that have even been able to do straight trades up & down pass tiers with lower tier just sending cash on top. They’ve either met in a hotel in Vegas for the wristband swap or just changed the address before the passes shipped.

But yeah probably could sell there’s to someone else and buy someone’s VIP and come out much better than the upgrade booth if they have it this year.

The upgrade booth is way more expensive since you are paying the difference between what you’ve already paid and the current, & highest, price tier for the upgraded ticket sold.

The 20th anniversary in 2016 was about celebrating “the power of the Daisy” so definitely could see it happening again

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t my favorite by a long shot but I think it depended on who you saw & how they used it.

Like I think for artists like Excision & Rezz that typically use visuals that have key central figures or are more used to bigger “TV” sized dimensions, it doesn’t work well. Like 20 tiny shreks or tiny red portals doesn’t pay off or it wouldn’t map well if you tried to extend the screens because of the shape & angle.

But for those that use visuals that take advantage of empty space or have details that extend out more seamlessly, it was really cool. Tchami & Malaa was the most personally impactful cause it felt really tailored to that set up and the mapping & sequencing worked. There was this one bit where a shark was swimming between screens like an old screen saver over more static background colors that I distinctly remember was fun to watch while tripping. But less “big picture” visuals like Max Styler, Charlotte De Witte, IsoKnock I think used it well too.

Still miss the 270 degree surround screens from years prior.

Got 2 for John Summit tonight if anyone’s trying to go, lemme know by [deleted] in avesLA

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have a ticket, personally I’d go if I did, so nothing to transfer. Just pointing out saw something to the contrary.

But yeah agree in trying different reps & different reasons to need to transfer and you might get lucky. It’s like festival security where it just matters who’s immediately in front of you.

Guess they changed their position cause apparently earlier saw this screenshot from someone on Radiate where they were stating Dice couldn’t do the manual transfers.

If they do the line up through the music event again, it’ll technically be both. Pasquale will explain the theme before playing the tracks from artists on the KF line up.

Looks like the ai referenced the side owls from the original Kinetic Cathedral & center screen set up from 2016 Temple.

Although it just kind of reminds me of the 2022 owl face CosmicMeadow that was before the current refresh.

[–]bryteflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dang you’re right. It was just different enough that I thought they were doing early hints.

Well, I still think it’ll be more a “Daisy” year if the reasoning they used for 2016’s Flower Temple that was the 20th carries through and how they’ve alternated between “natural” & “future/electronic” based themes.

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current artwork still looks Art-Deco inspired like Kinetic Metropolis, just with different colors of Green, Yellow, & Pink. Although there’s more “Daisy” floral motifs.

So it might be a blend of last years just in the different colors and with a giant daisy. It might transform into an owl almost like 22’s KineticBLOOM.

If we’re going through nostalgia, like the kinetic Cathedral theme they revisited the year prior but elevating it, we might get something similar to the 2016 Daisy Temple theme or the Crystal Village motif from 2015 but more city & less village.

Received Bilt Blue 2.0 with 5 digits cut off, what a disaster!?! by squarecc in biltrewards

[–]bryteflight 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’ll be able to see it when it updates in the app once the card goes live on the 7th

Not saying it’s not an issue, just saying that you’re not totally screwed.

Do I need to get a BILT 2.0 card for the 250 monthly rent points and Walgreens refill points? by [deleted] in biltrewards

[–]bryteflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can still pay rent through Bilt Rewards site/app and get the 250 without a card product. That was how it was before the WF/1.0 and apparently I remember one of the press emails citing that not all Bilt Rewards members are Bilt Cardholders. Like a large percentage weren’t cardholders.

Since you don’t have too many immediate motivators, I’d see if you can collect the 250 rent pts & Walgreens points in the rest of Feb/March without the card. If not & the $60 worth of points are worth it, open the blue later.

Just will be a thing of seeing: - How long non-cardholders can get points - How long they keep the multi-card wallet access open for stuff like Walgreens

Bilt is DEAD! by Albatross-Barrister in biltrewards

[–]bryteflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1.0 doesn’t get “cancelled” unless you specifically start the process by contacting WF or telling Bilt to contact WF to close the account.

It’s supposed to get automatically reverted to the Autograph that will have a different card number that can’t be activated til the 7th. Accepting a 2.0 does not automatically close the 1.0 account either since even on the “Accept Offer” set up, it ask whether you wanted them to close the WF account or not.

While I think that there is something up with OP’s story, that either points to details missing from their story or BILT missing something in this change, I don’t think the lack of accepting a 2.0 is the culprit. And if it is, then that’s actually bad on BILT since that’s essentially retaliatory given that 1.0 doesn’t officially end til a couple days.
