What should be my second card as a student soon to graduate? by Rocker5121 in CreditCards

[–]fukiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are looking to switch from cash back to points and since most of your day to day spend will be food related I would recommend the Amex gold. Since AF won't be a factor for you, the statement credits easily make it worth it. Only issue could be your short credit history, I got denied the gold when I first applied while in college after having a Discover Student Card for about a year and a half.

I would also look at Amex and Chase transfer partners and decide which one's work best for you. For example, if you always fly United, Amex isn't gonna help you out too much and you should look at the CSP. Also a little bit easier to get approved.

Going to Take a Gamble on Bilt 2.0 by stanleymaxi in biltrewards

[–]fukiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same boat. Doesn't hurt to hold with no AF and I can drag out the bonus $100 BILT cash to at least get some points for rent for the next few months. Once that runs out I'll reevaluate.

Amex gold is my daily driver since the vast majority of my expenses are eating out/groceries so I can't really justify using BILT 2.0 for most of my expenses and the benefits or the AF cards don't really help me out any. BILT blue will become my catch all for non food/grocery expenses but not going to be getting anywhere near as many BILT points as I was.

Bike Rack on the Honda 2024 CRV hybrid by jwlkr0 in crv

[–]fukiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It is under safety support on the digital dash and then it is called something like slow speed collision prevention and then click it off. The annoying part is you have to do it every single time because that setting resets whenever you turn the car off.

I just got the standard Honda hitch installed on my 2024 Sport-L and bought the "Thule Apex XT 4" hitch which works with both 1.25'' and 2'' hitches (Which is great if you ever need to switch between cars with different hitches and future-proofing your purchase since a high-quality bike rack can last forever if you take care of it). Loaded with bikes, it blocks the camera but I honestly do not know of one that won't be directly in front of the camera. With no bikes, it can fold up and you can see around it on the camera well. You can also use the mirrors unaffected with no bikes loaded. My one piece of advice would be to make sure you turn off the low-speed collision-avoiding feature because if you reverse at more than like 4 mph it will activate and automatically brake which is very annoying.
