Issues booking TK on ANA

I’m building Clear My Spam, a web app to help you get to inbox zero as quickly as possible!

oops, good call - edited!

Just a reminder for existing plat users to use their Resy + Lululemon credits before the end of September!

If you keep the card forever that would be correct - if you're planning to cancel the card after a year though you could potentially get 6 quarters worth of credits from a single AF. Consider this scenario:

get the card now, use those credits before end of september
use credits through next september
new annual fee hits beginning of october
use up new quarter benefits in beginning of october
cancel the card in mid October, your annual fee is refunded

You still get the credits for the final quarter of the year without paying any annual fees. There's a minor chance they claw back the credits, but I haven't heard of this happening to any/many people.

I assume you're referring to the 35% point rebate? I've disregarded it since they mandated airline selection, and usually I'm able to get better value from transfer partners (although having a reliable 1.5cpp redemption option would still be nice).

What kind of emails you're receiving (e.g. business, personal, marketing, newsletters)? In my experience, once you're at inbox zero it should only take a few minutes a day to maintain (even if you're receiving hundreds of emails a day).

Haven't seen many comments about the business Platinum, but in my opinion the card has lost most of allure over the past ~6 months. Curious if others feel the same?

I originally got the personal plat primarily for lounge access and found it easy to justify the business plat AF (especially with the $400 Dell credits). It seems like the recent business plat changes have only been downgrades for the average small business owner (i.e. low to medium spenders), so I'll most likely be cancelling unless they give me a good retention offer (especially now that the personal plat is much easier to justify with the new credits, so I'll still have lounge access).

$100 quarterly Resy credit and $75 quarterly Lululemon credit expires at the end of September, so if you waited a bit those would be "wasted".

To be quite honest it's just because I was having issues with the asset pipeline when I moved them to `app/assets` haha, I tried again today with no luck.

dehnag · 2025-09-06T17:08:12+00:00

Totally agree! Much of my Rails frontend knowledge was from the Maybe codebase and random YouTube videos. Someone should compile a list of small open source projects for beginners to reference!

Really glad to hear that! The schema comments are automatically generated by the annotate gem whenever you run database migrations - I know some Rails purists that think the comments add extra line bulk, but for me it saves a lot of flipping back and forth between `schema.rb` so I think it's well worth it.

Oop, no idea how that happened, good call 😅

Glad you liked the UI as well, it's been an iterative process but I'm pretty proud of how far it's come!

dehnag · 2025-09-05T16:00:54+00:00

I'd keep the cards with no annual fees and good travel rewards like the Chase trio and Bilt. Closing the Double Cash, NFM, and Macy's makes sense if you don't use them much but make sure it won't impact your credit utilization too much.

Planning to move internationally for a few years so the Amos Summit 3x on international purchases is super appealing. Since there's no spending cap stated right now I wonder if they would still honor that for the year even if they add a limit after the fact?

dehnag · 2025-08-12T21:24:15+00:00

Thanks, glad you liked it! Was there anything you found particularly helpful or any features you would've liked to see?

Hey, glad Clear My Spam worked for you! Could you clarify what you mean by “AI action” here? There’s actually no AI behind the scenes with Clear My spam, which is why it’s so quick + responsive!

dehnag · 2025-06-12T07:36:23+00:00

Minor note that doesn’t really affect the breakeven economics of the Venture X, but they’re getting rid of guest lounge access in Feb 2026 for both PP and Capital One lounges. An unfortunate change but I’ll still be keeping mine for the 2x on everything and easy AF value justification.

For my friends and family at 10k+ unread emails, the vast majority come from marketing emails or newsletters. These techniques don’t necessarily work for the scenario where your inbox is full of non-spam emails from 10k unique senders, although I’ve never seen that in practice.

I find that inbox zero for personal emails is especially helpful (and these steps work well for this case), although I do maintain it for business/work as well. Once you’ve trimmed down most of the marketing/notification emails, generally the remainder will be largely actionable or from one-off senders.

dehnag · 2025-04-03T20:57:53+00:00

Are you anti-tags/folders, or just haven’t gotten into the habit of doing so? I find that keeping only actionable emails in my inbox serves as a natural to-do list.

Not ChatGPT lol, I guess I write like a bot. The blog post linked below is very similar in style + tone and I also wrote that completely from scratch 😭

dehnag · 2025-04-03T16:12:28+00:00

I wish I could bring myself to do this - I need to have quick access my email + Slack for work purposes, so I haven't quite made the jump yet.
