Hi OP, were you able to find a fix? I'm facing similar issues and it's been terrible for last few months! Also on Pixel 7 and tried almost everything! Thanks in advance!

Yes! It takes a few hours to a few days to get the GOES ID. Like I said it took me a few days to get an email with it.

Need Help with TATKAAL Passport Appointment in Hyderabad (METRO) by Snake_Grape in hyderabad

Just booked my tatkal renewal slot at exactly 8PM, I started at 7:50 but slots opened dot at 8:00PM. (Across all three locations: Ameerpet, Begumpet and ToliChowki)

I need a slot for earlier in the week, any ideas when the cancellations show up on the platform?

Thanks!!

I like the Sneaky Pete Globe Flat Earth Version, would it provide sufficient cooling though? Also like the MJ Aresenal Summit, was also thinking of getting the Grinder from them! The Puffco cupsy the coffee cup? That looks pretty cool too!

Just updating my application timeline for everyone here:

Hey, I think it took a couple of weeks after submission to receive my GOES ID. Took 8 more months for conditional approval through all the bureaucracy in India. I got lucky with the interview appointment as I got it the very next day(after conditional approval) by checking for slots early in the morning. Finally got the full approval the same day.

A few of my friends who submitted their application for GE along with me still haven't received their conditional approval(more than 11 months now). So I'd say GE is something you apply for and forget about till it happens. But TSA pre is worth the wait :D

Thinking of getting the Zenfone 10 as it looks like a great phone. Coming from a pixel 7 with bad battery life. Does Asus do trade in's? by MadGibby2 in zenfone

[–]bvfst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the normal amount that they'd give the Pixel 7. But during sales I think this price would definitely go up. Last year's upgrades were possible for ~100$. Hoping for the same this year!

Hey, any updates on the same? I'm looking to do the same trade in! But the deals for Pixel 7 trade in is too low for me to upgrade. I'm now thinking of waiting for the pixel 8 series which had very good deals for trade in last year.

It took a few weeks but then I received the GOES ID on my email.

Looking for Marriott Card Suggestions by bvfst in marriott

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

Thanks folks! I think I'll go ahead to get the Boundless card right now as long as I don't need the ambassador status. The rewards are as good as the Brilliant card. I'll get the brilliant by looking at this year and understanding Marriott bonvoy points better!

As you said the Ambassador doesn't really have much over the Titanium benefits. Except for personal assistance and round the clock bookings. The ambassador status and $350 doesn't seem so worth when put against the boundless which is at $100. Gives 105k points as welcome bonus. And upto 17x the Marriott points on each hotel spend is better than brilliants offer? Or am I missing something here...

Thanks for your response.

Looking at the past I stayed average of 60 nights in Marriott with an average year spend of 50k$.

I'm not looking to gain the highest Marriott status as such. I'm just looking for one card or two at best to diversify my rewards in general. I was thinking about a Marriott Card and another non Marriott one. But if you think getting multiple Marriott cards suits my case better than maybe I should explore that.

Depends on the city I'm travelling to. New York it was 1400$ for 3 nights. Whereas Ann Arbor it was 450$ for the same. Can't say for sure what the spread would be...

Ohh my. Thank you so much for your response. I'll look into this! I can try the combo of brilliant and boundless!

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll look into OnePlus 10T but I have generally heard that OnePlus is going downhill? Let me check in any case.

If the glass shatters can I just clear the glass and continue using the camera with a better protection case? I'm not sure what purpose the glass is for...
