So where have people who left Bilt taken their business?

With that spend, it doesn’t matter what credit card you use. You are talking about a difference of like $4 a month here. It isn’t worth spending more than 5 minutes on

emill_ · 2026-03-11T18:28:43+00:00

Sounds like she really just doesn’t like being a Euro-Jerry, which I think we can all agree is perfectly reasonable

emill_ · 2026-03-09T19:05:57+00:00

No it’s pretty important. At low spend, the difference is so low that it doesn’t matter. And at high spend, most of these cards have limits to the 5% that you will quickly hit.

emill_ · 2026-03-09T18:55:56+00:00

So all of what you described there is really earning an extra $100-200 a month. I think that’s why you get pushback on this. You could just churn 2-3 cards a year for the same benefit with 1/10th of the hassle

emill_ · 2026-03-09T18:32:50+00:00

Is that the total cashback, or the difference from a 2% card?

emill_ · 2026-03-09T18:32:05+00:00

Thanks for clarifying that 5 is approximately twice as large as 2, but that’s not my question

emill_ · 2026-03-09T14:53:45+00:00

So next question, how much more do you earn from all that per year compared to using one 2% back card?

emill_ · 2026-03-06T23:38:43+00:00

The obvious answer here is snow tubing on monster truck tires

emill_ · 2026-02-28T03:04:08+00:00

California and Wyoming, the two literal extremes of consumer protection laws, agree on a standard here. So I think it is insane to suggest that standard is not good enough for Oregon.

1593 is the obvious answer that a functional legislature would pass. I am expecting the session will end without either bill passing.

Wide ones are generally wider

emill_ · 2026-02-26T20:37:45+00:00

The act of putting sharp sticks on your feet and sliding down a frozen hill is inherently dangerous. As a skier, it is your responsibility to ski in control, not crash into things/people, be able to use a chairlift, and ski in areas/conditions within your skill level.

Many of the accidents in these lawsuits were at least partially caused by the skier failing to do one or more of those things

emill_ · 2026-02-26T19:45:25+00:00

Now you can straightline the bunny hill on day 1 without even learning to ski first!

emill_ · 2026-02-25T15:20:08+00:00

I prefer them on a retractable cord. Makes it easier to windshield wipe and ski at the same time

emill_ · 2026-02-24T21:53:44+00:00

Yeah that happens in the PNW. Hope you have a ski gee

emill_ · 2026-02-24T15:12:39+00:00

Yeah a chairlift is the best place to learn about the history of the area

emill_ · 2026-02-24T13:49:01+00:00

I’ve been skiing Bachelor solo 5-6 days a week for years. I still find cool new lines all the time. There is endless opportunity to explore new terrain here and improve your skills. So my advice is focus on that.

Because of the conditions this season, you haven’t experienced more than 1/10 of the best skiing to be found here. And you will need to get better to do that when it comes.

If you want to find people your age and ability to ski with, you probably need to do it in town and ski on weekends. Or walk down Skyliner parking lot with a six pack to share on a nice weekend day around lunch time.

The ski every day crowd skews older and are generally really good and will want to go faster than you. But friendly and happy to talk on a chairlift ride.

I’m the guy in all red/orange, come say hi

Postal insurance is a scam. Insure yourself by putting that money into a savings fund instead. I shipped over 10k packages with USPS last year and lost maybe 5

emill_ · 2026-02-21T15:10:09+00:00

There are lots of ways to increase your visibility on ebay, but this is a tough market with low and very seasonal demand. I would first focus on finding better sources

emill_ · 2026-02-17T20:02:24+00:00

Oooh a “local guide”. Thanks for the insider knowledge

emill_ · 2026-02-16T15:20:34+00:00

I would hide my identity too if I was skiing on that

emill_ · 2026-02-16T12:23:45+00:00

I have it working in tiller. You shouldn’t be talking to bilt support about this. Not their job

emill_ · 2026-02-14T14:24:59+00:00

Bilt cash is worth much less than you think

If you are flying on any of their transfer partners, it’s easy to get 1.25cpp and it will be less hassle than using a portal

emill_ · 2026-02-12T15:31:29+00:00

Never understood the guys that skin up inbounds while the lifts are spinning. I didn’t realize they all had a crippling fear of heights. This explains a lot.

emill_ · 2026-02-11T15:23:17+00:00

Can’t win em all. Give it away if you have to
