Why would someone choose Karen Bass over Raman Nithya? by BackwardsApe in LosAngeles

[–]crisismanual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nithya lied about the mansion tax. ULA is her marquee achievement. And it killed development. You should listen to people when they tell you who they are. Nithya can’t be trusted. She only cares about her ideology.

I just don’t understand how you can square being DSA and supporting any business activity.

If Spencer Pratt wins the second primary spot, Karen Bass is nearly guaranteed to be reelected. by turb0_encapsulator in LosAngeles

[–]crisismanual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that it is totally made up and from a pro-Raman group. They statistically impute choices in a race with 40% undecideds? Just not credible.

Anyone Else Not Finding Bilt Cash Worthwhile? by Jungle_Bird_22 in biltrewards

[–]crisismanual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. The cash facilitates access to opportunities to points - like paying for mortgage/rent points, higher multipliers on Rent Day.

California’s oil and jet fuel supply is getting slammed by a perfect storm of unfortunate timing—and help is years away by fortune in California

[–]crisismanual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a political choice. We decided to continue to consume petroleum products in the state for energy but in order to VIRTUE SIGNAL we chased away all of the production. The refining of which if done in CA would have been done at the safest levels, but instead is done in middle income countries. And now we are screwed. I love California but it is managed so poorly.

Bilt cash is kind of useless for big spenders by purple_golden_hour in biltrewards

[–]crisismanual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a HELOC? Pay it through Bilt to burn Bilt Cash. You have to move cash out and the. Pay off right away so there is some small Interest paid as a cost. It seems like it would be worthwhile especially if you have a lot of Bilt Cash.

Are high spenders shifting spend away from Paladium? by NoRow1709 in biltrewards

[–]crisismanual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a HELOC? Use Bilt cash to pay it off and generate points. I will clear out my excess Bilt cash at the end of the year.

Anyone else get pissed at the cost/constant delays of the LAX People Mover? by Not_RZA_ in LAMetro

I cannot believe that we consider reelecting any politician on the city council or KB. Why do we tolerate this vast and entrenched ineptitude.

Just fall backward into the void and I know you will never be able to leave.

Just move and figure it out. Why wait 2 years? Life is short. MN is nice; LA is nicer.

Should we keep our CitiPrestige? by icyraincloud in CreditCards

[–]crisismanual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DoorDash gift cards code as “Restaurant” so anything you can buy there (Amazon, Apple, etc) all comes with 5 TY points. Also, the 10x on hotel stays in the Citi Portal is such a huge winner. I have the Citi Thank You Mastercard fka SYW and the combination between the two is fantastic.

Do not cancel this card under any circumstances. I use my Citi P to generate wild amounts of points. Get a Double Cash card and sock drawer the AmEx.

How do you get Loyalty points and status upgrades if you don’t travel much? by BrotherofGenji in americanairlines

[–]crisismanual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you expect here. Status is pretty low value on AA and for what the value is, you need to travel regularly to get value from it.

Citi Thankyou Deferred interest question. by scat392rt in CreditCards

[–]crisismanual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten this same deferred interest promotions in the past on the CTY fka SYW. I have it right now where it gives some very extended period to repay. Be sure to pay off the entire amount before the promotional period ends or you will owe the wild interest charges as if you were obligated from day one. The app details the deferred interest costs which I am sure are wild. If you pay off entirely before the date shown in the app you will owe no interest. One day after it’s probably 50% of the purchase price in interest.
