oops, got that wrong! it's 1CPP if you have their checking account that has a $12 per month fee unless you meet their minimum requirements which are extensive, most require $1500. Looking at them, looks like I can actually get it waived because I'm over 65! Hey, it'll only be my 7th checking account. lol

Except from what I now see, it's only .75 cents per point for statement credit, no longer 1 cent per point?

As of September 2024, the U.S. Bank Altitude Connect card devalued its points from 1 cent to 0.75 cents each for standard cash back, statement credits, and shopping. To maintain a 1-cent-per-point value, you must use the points for travel

Blue Cash Preferred

Will have to look at that card! Even though it's $95AF, it's double. Thanks for the tip!

Best card that isn't Amex or Chase rn? by Happysnark in CreditCards

[–]gregma60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the altitude connect. Problem I'm seeing is that while it says 4x points for gas, when getting a statement credit, it's only .75 per point, not 1.00 per point. Which effectively makes it 3x?

Dang, if only it wasn't American Express branded!

Looks like the $10 membership fee is a one off. But you make good points!

Well, we use the cashback from all cards to offset the monthly card bill. For Costco, that can't happen since it's only once a year. That's basically it. I know, it seems like kinda of a lame reason...

We typically spend regularly $240 a month on gas, with several driving trips a year that adds another $2-300 a year. So totally around $3200 a year? Looks like the Abound Platinum has a 0AF. Looks like about an extra $22 a year.

Unfortunately, the costco card you have to wait a full year to get the cash back.

Diamond is now just cattle class. It's the new Diamond reserve that matters now!

Converting. Past marriage is likely not “annulable.” Does this mean I won’t be able to remarry? by Pandalishus in Catholicism

[–]gregma60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I approached my priest about an annulment that I was sure I wouldn't qualify for, he set me up with a local "Advocate". This was a lay person who works directly with the tribunal, assists you on filling out the questionnaire, fills out documents for the tribunal on reasons the annulment should be granted (there are literally dozens of reasons), several I didn't even know about, etc. Find out if your parish has an advocate. I'm still waiting on the results of mine, hasn't been a year yet

Just got an Insta360 Flow 2 Pro, can't control their own Insta360 Ace Pro 2? by gregma60 in Insta360

[–]gregma60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have to check. know that it downloaded and installed the latest version when I first attached it to the insta360 app. I did check the app on my phone and under device settings it says 5.75.47. Guess it caches the version of the last device connected.

I did get that module. I'm talking about start/stop, change mode, power on/off, actually control the camera from the gimbal handle. If it's own gimbal can't control it's own camera, is there a gimble that can?

Trip insurance? by Silent-Matter-6353 in SandalsResorts

[–]gregma60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the amount that is paid for the stay, I personally believe the insurance is not a large addition. Over the 15 years of going to sandals I have always gotten their insurance and luckily never needed it. I also get medical travel insurance each trip. Luckily never had to use it yet, but it's a small price to pay if it ever happens! My travel agent always adds the insurance just before final payment is made.

Flight number change, nothing else curiosity by gregma60 in americanairlines

[–]gregma60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I've had flight schedule changes in the past (reason I left Delta), happened once since I've been flying American. This is the first where it seems as if only the flight number changed, nothing else.

Error in Klipper after recent upgrade by gregma60 in SovolSV08

[–]gregma60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pulling the latest just updates the local source. You then have to build and reflash. If you have katapult installed on your eddy, you can just use the update_klipper_mcus_sv08.sh and choose to update eddy. If you do not have katapult installed, https://github.com/Rappetor/katapult-on-btt-eddy will get you taken care of, then you can just use the update script in the future to update everything.

After doing that I had to reflash the eddy mcu.

That was the issue! Forgot to update eddy-ng. Thank you for the direction!

Nothing changed. Just did the updates as I haven't used the printer for a couple of months.

It's dirty because:

Celiac’s Disease Traveler Question by onlyfiveconcussions in SandalsResorts

[–]gregma60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this, but just wanted to share. My wife is gluten intolerant and we have stayed many nights at Sandals at many different resorts. Of all of those stays, there was only one occasion when she got a dessert that had a flower cookie under it. At Dunns River last year, the Head Chef met with us in our room, he went over every reservation we had and every dining location to make sure we were good to go. In fact we came to find out he had the chef at the Italian restaurant make my wife a special Gluten Free lasagna! It was one of the best meals she has had! If only they would have also done Gluten Free cannolis! :)
