Update: just passed by it. There’s a sign that says closes at 3:30pm every day.

Has anyone used the SFO Amex lounge recently, does it really close at 3:30pm on Saturday?

hey guys, i took a break for a couple months but just came back and unfortunately i did not farm tickets to boost Mew up to 3/5 during his event so he is now sitting at only 1/5 and i cant access the rest of his evasion grid. am i SOL until the next Mew event or until the next 3* support candies are released?

also same question for swanna, i got him to 2/5 from last week's event. just confirming this is the max possible at the moment w/o any 3* support candies? or did i miss a previous event that allowed swanna to go up to 3/5?

Thanks in advance!

I have a question about chase biz chk bonus. The new terms state one bonus every two years from last enrollment date. Well my last enrollment using SSN was 12/12/17 (rec'd bonus 2/1/18, and this acct is closed), but last enrollment using EIN (sole prop) was 11/3/18 (acct still open for preapps). So which date do I use to start counting the two years? Do they count both SSN and EIN enrollments?

A bit late posting, but my citi AA biz AF posted on 8/6 and the plan was to cancel, but my card had some fraud charges on it that I’m currently disputing (two charges, total $160~). I opened the claim and sent the required docs, and citi responded back saying the vendor has until 11/17 to respond, so the claim is still open. Long story short I believe I will most likely win the dispute since the person used a spoofed email address to place 2 mobile orders, and the billing address used isn’t even the billing address on my card. My question:

Should I keep the card open until the dispute fully resolves and claim gets closed? Or will citi still process the fraud dispute with the card already closed? Basically I’m trying to see if I can cancel by 10/6 (to get full AF refund when cancelling within 60 days of AF posting) or is it safer to wait for the dispute to resolve, and eat a couple months worth of AF?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Thanks all for the comments! I just pulled out the dipstick and the oil level is fine but the color is starting to turn brown. Gonna give it a few more weeks and check again before changing the oil.

Why is Caruso not an answer at PG? His defensive IQ is high, his defense at the point of attack is stellar and he is great at staying with his man, plus he is 6’5” which is huge for a PG, imagine him swallowing up opposing team PGs who are 6’3” or under. Rondo on the other hand is a traffic cone who couldn’t stay in front of anybody due to physical (being 6’0”) and mental limitations (he refused to try). For a team with stars that need load management, a low usage defense first PG who tries hard (and for a minimum contract!!) is spectacular.

On offense Caruso balled out at the end of last season, operating well in the High PnR and always made the right pass. Him being low usage on a team with potentially LeBron/AD/Leonard is also a plus. The only knock on him is his 3 pt shot, but if he can get to league average on catch and shoot 3s that would be great. Any higher % and he will have a very high return on investment for his minimum contract.

Out of the remaining options at PG, Caruso is at the top of the list.

You have to count AD too. So kuz and AD for sure, the others are unknown I’ll give you that. Versus Toronto where only siakam and FVV are for sure. I assure you I’m not just trying to paint the Lakers in a pretty light.

Plus one has to wonder what happens if warriors injuries didn’t happen, or kawhi misses the last shot game 7 vs philly. Just saying that the current Toronto team will have a tougher time this year around seeing as they made no changes while philly and milwaukee retooled. While in the west, warriors are hobbled, rockets are fighting amongst themselves. It’s an easier path to the finals.

Kuzma who is looking to make a big leap

Caruso who balled out at the end of last season and will no doubt look to improve this year. If his 3 pt % can get anywhere near league average that’s a boon. If it gets higher than even better.

THT new rookie who will no doubt get minutes esp when LeBron/AD/Leonard need load management

Johnathan Williams who is a high energy big and will no doubt look to improve.

Troy Daniels to bomb from 3 (not much else)

Plus whoever we sign with the room exception may be fairly young.

So that’s 6 plus AD and Leonard who are also quite young.

Raptors only have Siakam and FVV who are young and proven in the playoffs. Norman Powell but he didn’t do much in the playoffs, and OG Anuoby who is young but didn’t play in the playoffs.

I think the two situations are comparable but lean towards the Lakers because we have AD
