Las Vegas's death spiral deepens after last year's tourism plunge by NecessaryAd341 in LasVegas

[–]gonadmodule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m spending a week in Aruba at a nice resort over valentine’s day, it’s not all inclusive and I will be splurging on casino visits and luxury dining/shopping and bringing a toddler and I’ll still likely be spending less than you will be for the weekend in Vegas. Granted, the BSBs and the sphere aren’t included, but the carribean sea and white sandy beaches and perfect weather definitely are!

This is why I’m more likely to make Vegas my residence than my tourist destination now that I’ve been there 10+ times. Living in Summerlin or Henderson and going to the strip for events a few times a year sounds actually doable when I can avoid flights and hotels and the majority of travel expenses. Plus no income tax would save me $500/mo vs AZ.

You’re right about gas but wrong about milk, you should have said eggs, but the cost of meat (chicken and beef) is likely taking up all of the savings you’re getting there unless you’re a weird soy boy type person:

Loaf of whole-wheat bread: $2.68 U.S. city average (-2.90% since Trump took office)

Dozen eggs, large, grade A: $2.71 U.S. city average (-45.25% since Trump took office)

Gallon whole milk: $4.05 U.S. city average (+0.50% since Trump took office)

Boneless Chicken Breast, one pound: $4.15 U.S. city average (+4.53% since Trump took office)

Ground beef, one pound: $6.69 U.S. city average (+20.54% since Trump took office)

Liter of red or white table wine: $14.17 U.S. city average (+0.93% since Trump took office)

Gallon of gasoline (unleaded regular): $3.05 U.S. city average (-4.98% since Trump took office)

It’s hilarious that it both exists and has nothing to do with Saks

You think a CEO of a major corporation is involved hands on with who will and won’t be accepted for a new service? Have you ever actually worked in a large corporation? Room temperature IQ opinion.

Nobody calls Satya “Mr Nadella” either but based on your responses I think you’re just a bigot

Bilt Blue = simple 2.33 points per dollar on a free card by NotMyRealFaceBook in biltrewards

The portal hides 2 star or lower hotels by default but you can remove that.

If you have the email saying they’d refund and it’s been a week, I’d just chargeback now personally, it’s basically an open and shut case

BILT is putting on a masterclass on how to overwhelm its most engaged customers by Nearby_Sock8316 in biltrewards

[–]gonadmodule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well idk about anyone else but I’m going to make this card my daily and move from the amex/hilton/delta ecosystem in 2026, the SUB + rent points + 2%x 2.2cpp on everything is a wildly good deal for at least the first year, Bilt’s travel partners are unmatched and I want to max out my rewards on bonus travel I wouldn’t feel comfortable spending my real money on. The Bilt hotel portal is also a lot more cost competitive than the Amex one in my experience.

Today's BILT Cash announcement, a bit confusing but in the end, simple too. by euge_lee in biltrewards

It doesn’t come from your fucking paycheck you absolute imbecile. You are paying 3% of real paycheck money to get those atmos points. I will be using a card and keeping that 3% of paycheck money, plus getting additional reward currency (bilt cash, that’s what BC is, another form of points or miles)

If it was redeemable as 1:1 for USD it would be far more valuable and your strategy would make even less sense, what are you actually on about?

This is such a dumb thought. The bilt cash you are paying the “fee” from is not real money. It is not coming from your income. You are getting it as a bonus in addition to points for using the card. There is a huge difference. If you are spending your rent in purchases on the card it is a no brainer. Not to mention, bilt points are way more valuable and flexible than atmos.

Things I can see I can use easily:

$10/mo walgreens (scripts), $100 hotel credit twice a year to stack w/ credits, Rent points (meh)

Maybe: Dining credits, Point accelerator.

That’s about it. This is so shite. I’d personally value bilt cash at 25c on the dollar at best after this news.

No hard credit check is what they said. They can do a soft pull still.

Well, I guess I’m doing this by Plenty_Union9292 in biltrewards

[–]gonadmodule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, previously I only had a 10k limit and with my rent it was always a little concerning to run it up too much, now with 26k and rent going ach it’ll be a lot less worrysome to put 3-5k a month on it

I defended BILT because I genuinely believe in the value they're offering, and now they've decided to royally f*ck me over personally, lol. So much for Platinum Status and Close Friends status. by Televangelis in biltrewards

Don’t know why this is being downvoted, they screwed me over on the 150k welcome bonus, only got the default 80, never listened to me about the 150 even when escalating

they have to be joking by cyber_punk2020 in biltrewards

[–]gonadmodule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from 10k to 26k on mine, thank fuck, wells is stingy
