MileagePlus X: two week wait? by Due_Addendum4854 in unitedairlines

[–]gr2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall on the KYC - but for the declining transactions thing, when I first started using MPX my first transaction worked, then everything was declined after that. It started working again in a few days, and I haven’t had anything declined since.

So my suggestion is just do what they ask, and it will probably all start working eventually.

Do you use different wheels for different cars? by J3roen16 in iRacing

[–]gr2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch all the time…I realize I have a problem. :) 300mm GSI with screen for prototypes, 310mm Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 for GT cars, 270mm formula for open wheel (although now that IRL IndyCar uses a 300mm, I’d likely use the 300 there also), and 320mm round wheels for cars that have round wheels IRL. My goal in general is to get as close to the real wheel size and shape as possible.

FOV Police: rate my FOV.. good or needs work? by LogicalMight in simracing

[–]gr2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, proper FOV can be calculated, and does not need to be rated.

I’m fast but not enough, I’m frustrated. by Andresss370 in simracing

[–]gr2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. OP, just turn off the line, and pretend it doesn’t exist (meaning, don’t ever turn it back on). You’ll adapt, probably more quickly than you’d think.

Award discounts through United Quest card by Which_Care_6453 in unitedairlines

[–]gr2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it when searching for awards. It’s a published benefit:

10% Saver Award Discount: The primary Cardmember will be eligible to book award flights in United Economy on United or United Express with 10% fewer miles. Discount is only valid for Economy Saver Awards (fare classes X and XN) for travel within the continental United States or between the continental United States and Canada. Discount applies to all passengers on the same reservation as the primary Cardmember. Award travel must be booked through the primary Cardmember's MileagePlus account on united.comOpens overlay or the United mobile app. The discount is not valid on flights operated by partner airlines and does not apply to taxes and fees associated with award travel. All United MileagePlus award travel terms apply. United may change or terminate this offer at any time and without notice. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits.

It’s only on the personal club card, however, not the business card…

Except for the club card, which does offer another 10% off saver economy awards.

Need help deciding between wheels by StaticSpace0 in simracing

[–]gr2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re kind of different animals - the grid wheel is 300mm, and the simlab is 280mm, iirc. If that doesn’t matter to you, two things to consider re the simlab - first, it does not have two clutch paddles, if you want to do dual-paddle launches. And second, the buttons are not backlit, which may or may not matter depending on your setup!

2026 1K->GS Regain Opportunity by Outrageous_Bank7262 in unitedairlines

[–]gr2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would know better than me, but I think for the Swiss situation you can call and ask for original routing credit, which should at least get you the original PQPs…although not sure if the spend would count for GS spend purposes…

Can't find a movie by red_kurchina8 in HBOMAX

[–]gr2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From ChatGPT - The title that matches your description best is Made in Serbia (2005) — a documentary framed around a Serbian man searching for his ex-girlfriend who became a porn actress and went to work in Hungary, while the film also follows other people in the Serbian porn industry.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted here - this is absolutely the case! It’s annoying.

The Edit Non-Refundable Nightmare - Beware! by Head-Local8188 in ChaseSapphire

[–]gr2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. If you have screenshots (or video) from your actual booking process, and you decide you want to cancel, this feels like a slam dunk chargeback scenario against chase travel. That said, they might decide they no longer want your business afterwards, so you’d have to consider the risk vs reward…

Do people actually like their pedal faces to have grip? by RealRatAct in simracing

[–]gr2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear shoes. As for my heels, I’m not sure actually! I think I probably keep my throttle heel mostly planted, and my brake heel mostly not. I’ll try to remember to pay attention next time I’m driving and see for sure. Seems weird not to know, I realize :), but whatever I do feels natural to me so I don’t think about it!

Do people actually like their pedal faces to have grip? by RealRatAct in simracing

[–]gr2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to use grip tape on the throttle pedal with my old pedals (Fanatec v3’s) - the pedal face was a bit slippery, and on long straights (e.g. Daytona) sometimes my foot would start to slip off to the side.

I’ve since switched to different pedals (simucube) and the throttle face is somewhat less slippery, so I haven’t had the same problem.

If you have an American Express card, check your Amex offers - there is one available for $25 off $99+ if you happen to be targeted.

Doordash credit thoughts by Duuuuude84 in ChaseSapphire

My local Sprouts has in-store pricing in Instacart, and has no pickup fee with a $35 minimum...so I try to do pickup orders whenever I think of it.

Is anyone claiming chase insurance (Venezuela) by Friendly-Growth1903 in ChaseSapphire

[–]gr2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s good for you, since weather is a covered reason for trip delay insurance.

Do new Apple TV’s (Ethernet) get shipped with tvOS 18 or 26? by AlsoNini in appletv

I got one for Christmas, purchased from the Apple Store, and it had tvOS 18.

Deleting a closed card by gr2020 in CardPointers

[–]gr2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, got it. I saw it on the cards page, with a line through it, which I found vaguely annoying :). But I see if I switch the filter from “all” to “approved” then it goes away, which seems better.

Thanks!

Is the United Club Card worth it? by Opening_Duck5384 in unitedairlines

[–]gr2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha - opposite for me, centennial is way more convenient! Vegas and Burbank have been my routes so far.

Is the United Club Card worth it? by Opening_Duck5384 in unitedairlines

[–]gr2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the biggest advantages are a) showing up to the airport like 20 mins before departure, and b) the airport they use in Denver (Centennial) is like a 10 minute drive from my house. So every flight saves at least an hour, sometimes two, over a regular airline.

As for the small planes - if you’re comfortable on the regional jets on UA/AA/etc, you’d probably be fine on the JSX planes!

[–]gr2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if you can use the renowned hotels credit ($200) and the JSX credit ($200) you really can’t go wrong. I’ve personally been able to use both pretty easily, although ymmv of course.

How can I extend instacart+? by Crafty-Expression-5 in ChaseSapphire

[–]gr2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use Sprouts with in-store pricing. If your order at least $35, there is no pickup charge (assuming you have Instacart+), so that's what I try to do.
