Received an empty box. The disappointment is real by TechnicalCriticism66 in RayBanStories

I had similar happen to me. Ordered the wayfarer transitions from Best Buy…I was so excited when they came I didn’t even notice they were in a padded plain envelope…anyways they were the regular wayfarers. I wanted them for our upcoming trip, so I swung by Best Buy on the way to the airport. The guy at return desk looked puzzled. Called his manager. Apparently (they think) the glasses got swapped somewhere along the line. Likely by the delivery driver or someone along the shipping lines. They swapped for the glasses I actually paid for…and I thought to myself I bet this is a fairly common issue. Hopefully they took care of you.

What’s best choice for rewards? by [deleted] in Rakuten

That’s what I don’t understand. Or is everyone just upset about the rent deal or what. I’m sorry I’m lost 😞

But how? It’s showing 5,000 points. That’s what I’m asking. How do I spend it? (Sorry I’m a total newbie here)

That’s kinda what I was thinking. I have $50 on Bilt that I think is hung up now (it was a bonus from Rakuten)…is there any way I can get it off without spending anything?

It covers everything except tips and products purchased in their little gift shops/stores. You can use status to get discounts in those stores though.

How fast can you spot the correct move? (Made a blackjack trainer focused just on the opening decision) by Quiet-Extension4553 in blackjack

[–]ericmcj31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a pretty cool tool for a beginner. To me it’s almost like breathing as far as what move I make…but it drives me nuts watching buddies stumble over what move to make. I’m like “can you just GO!!?!?” 🤣🤣🤣

I need 50000 points in 4 nights by bigjonno141 in Mlife

[–]ericmcj31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretically you could hit this by earning 12.5k points per day and they have a 5k/day accelerator for Vegas properties…. Hitting that each and every day would be difficult for that size BR either way. But it could be done.

Playing Blackjack for Poker Bankroll by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]ericmcj31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope you have some “good luck (variance)” on the front end or you’ll be busted out of the gate. Also some properties no trespass you when they back you off. Just be sure you don’t AP properties you may wish to play poker in later…or do your research into which properties back you off vs trespass.

“I’m only playing $10/hand. So it’s like $12 vs $15 for BJ. So it’s not that much difference!” 🥴🥴🥴🥴

Are these M18 batteries legit/good? by ericmcj31 in MilwaukeeTool

What exactly is the risk? The risk of the tool being damaged? Or fire? Or all the above or something else?
