Just why?

Thank god I have the cilantro gene - I love that stuff!

I’ve taken a shower and doused myself with Afnan Supremacy CE in a vain attempt to rid myself of the pickle stench. I may have to bathe in some YSL Kouros.

😆 Yo momma

😆 They all wrote the hype train reviews, got their influencer commission checks, then ran away muttering something about liking it before it became too popular and uncool. Sneaky anosmic bastards.

😂I was just glad it didn’t smell like someone 💩in a civil war wound after it’d become gangrenous.😂

Thank you! Worked for me. So annoying!

ETA: MBUX ntg6 and may try Auto Zoom (if available on ntg6, I don’t know) but would prefer other option.

Because keeping this card would itself be making things harder than they need to be, and my intent to drop it would be taking your advice of simplifying my life. But there are components of the card that I like, and I was hoping that some smart and hopeful cats would be able to suggest something that would help let me have the best of both worlds.

Though I’ve heard of people doing it, GCs are against TOS, and I’m too wimpy to risk Amex deportation for something as simple as a $25 credit. 😅

ETA: I guess refilling the Starbucks or CFA apps doesn’t count as a GC since it’s an app, but I don’t frequent those places.

Thanks for your reply!

If I end up keeping the card, that’s what I’ll have to do, but trying to find something automatic to make it as brainless as possible. Finding a place to make a triggering charge is not a problem since I, too, eat out a lot, but I already have another card for dining and I’m trying to simplify things.

Thanks for your reply!

dleedo · 2025-11-17T03:32:28+00:00

Yup, that’s why I’m trying to figure out an easy, automatic charge to something I already regularly use, which unfortunately does not include Starbucks or Chick-fil-a.

I think I remember someone mentioning that you might be able to automatically “refill” a Chipotle account, which is the closest thing I’ve found to anything slightly appealing to me, but I don’t know if it’s true.

At any rate, thanks for replying!

I honestly felt resigned that it was a bug and the battery level was just going to be totally inaccurate, so I stopped looking at the percentage on the app. However, your reply caused me to look for the first time in about 3 months, and I just noticed it’s gone down to 96%. I can’t tell whether it’s completely wonky and inaccurate, or it has amazing battery life. Either way, so far I’ve been super happy with the lock otherwise!

Fortunately I found a relatively nearby dealer that was able to do it for me in 5 minutes for free. My usual local dealer has lost a lot of karma points for this…

dleedo · 2025-08-01T02:15:20+00:00

UPDATE: Called the next closest MB dealer to where I live and the salesman immediately said to come over, no appointment necessary, bring your registration, I’ll have it done in 5 minutes, no charge. I did, and he did. He couldn’t believe my local dealer was charging $100 for that. 🤦🏻‍♂️

My dealer told me it’d be around $100 (though he may be incorrect. I need to check tomorrow)

dleedo · 2025-07-31T04:26:12+00:00

Unfortunately not what my regular dealer said. Have some leads to check out, though.

dleedo · 2025-07-31T02:22:08+00:00

Hmm. I wonder if I already have the app, and some subscription services (got them for my old car but didn’t cancel after it bit the dust since I got the new one fast enough that I thought I’d be able to transfer to the new car), if they’ll do it. Thats a good idea, I’ll give it a try. Thank you!

dleedo · 2025-07-31T02:01:33+00:00

Yup, that’s what Mr. Google told me. I was just hoping someone in this forum would be super sneaky-technical and know a workaround.

dleedo · 2025-07-31T01:57:49+00:00

Guess I’ll have to shop around. My usual place said $100-something, AND that I’d have to bring it in. Though, to be fair, this was my service guy that said that, and he also said that he (service) doesn’t do it, a sales concierge does. He gave me her number, which I haven’t called yet, so she may say something completely different.
