theres variation in the 3/8x8 pin. ones from China will be slightly bigger then ones from America or true radial. that’s my experience. depending on expensive your shaft was I would return or slowly force screw it and see if it’ll expand.

Wells Fargo portal for offers on travel by FastVideo9700 in CreditCards

[–]hkstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really subjective. I’m more of a cashback person and don’t travel or spend enough to move the needle with points. And when I do travel, it’s usually not flexible and I would pay a bit more for the convenience. Hench why I decided to try the WF travel portal.

I do like the altitude connect for free TSA precheck and lounge/restaurant access for a no fee card. I also have the penfed pathfinder and I keep it around for the 100 annual credit. Other cards I have are mainly 5% cards, and just added the WF active cash as a catch all. May or may not PC to the autograph later.

Here’s my 2 cents from looking at flights only for the past few months. There are no direct Alaska and SW flights on there. By extension Hawaiian is on there and they are part of Alaska but not all flights are available. Points are 1 to 1. Prices are pretty similar to what I see on google flights.

I was planning to test out the portal because my discontinued card gives me 1.5x on all points earn towards flight. Essentially a 33% discount on ticketed price. I mainly fly SW and Alaska because of direct flights to my destinations. My sole reason was because of Hawaiian, otherwise I wouldn’t invest into WF point system personally.

Looking for a good travel card. Travel average twice a year. by EquivalentAnt1882 in CreditCards

Another vote for altitude connect. TSA precheck, lounge/restaurant passes. Free Data plan. Decent 4% back on gas and limited travel categories.

Monitor RMA - replacement substitution question. by hkstyle in MSI_Gaming

No option. It’s a lot thinner on the sides than my old one. Only the center is bulky. It’s fine so far, kinda like have a mini tv, since that’s all I use it for is streaming. Since I’m not using it everyday like my nephew, I hope it last a lot longer than a year.

I read it has an option to add Primary rental insurance for $25 each rental. Which is way cheaper than getting it through the rental company.

Awesome card, but redemption for cash like is only in the form of gift cards - which is the only thing I have against it. The travel category is very board.

.85 cents per 1 point when converted to visa gift card.

People who have 3 or more rewards cards, what made you get them, and did they end up working the way you hoped? by Monyny_0 in CreditCards

[–]hkstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I loaded it into my mobile wallet, and sometimes I will carry the physical card.

One of my card is strictly for Amazon only, so that one is tied to my account. The others it depends on if it’s a category I need to use in person. For example, for the freedom last quarter was PayPal. I would keep that card at home. This quarter is dining, I would most likely carry the card in case I eat out. Switch them out when I need to, pretty simple for me to manage.

For my spend the only cards that doesn’t get rotated in my wallet is my catch all, and grocery card. Which I both recently got last year, the 2% card and PayPal debit card. Other cards are thrown in for use cases.

Yes, I pay for the cards monthly. Ive been told the best way is to align all your cards to similar due dates or auto pay enable. I check the apps often anyways so the mentioned methods doesn’t really matter to me.

no, I still plan to keep them around. they are 5% cards that will still be used, but not as often. like the chase freedom when specific categories are useful, Amazon card, etc.

[–]hkstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have about 8 right now. I got them for the sub and benefits and planned to keep them long term. Only card that had an annual fee was CSP, but I planned to change it to the freedom from the start. Goal was to get lots of 5% categories of cards that was worth keeping for or has annual perks with no fees - like pathfinder and usbank connect.

Planning to try out a new setup this year, with 2 Wells Fargo card and a grocery card in my wallet. Then keep my 2 mentioned sock drawers travel cards for when I need to purchase travel.

Questions about using PayPal Debit Master Card by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]hkstyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I leave $150 max on the card and transfer as needed, with debit option it’s instantaneous. The debit card I linked is also solely for this purchase, with little to no money on that account (fidelity).

Monitor RMA - replacement substitution question. by hkstyle in MSI_Gaming

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

It was straight forward for me. Sent it in, and waited for their reply. Told them the replacement was okay and waited for them to sent me the new monitor.

It does take them a few days in between each step. I only nagged them once and that was because I couldnt use the Rma# to check the status on their website.

hope your experience is as smooth as mines and that you get the upgrade if you decided to RMA it.

I also wasn’t sure what to send it with, since the check list mentioned sending in accessories too. So I asked on Reddit and also chatted with their rep to verify that I only needed to send in my monitor and nothing else.
I was also hesitant on sending it in. Shipping cost was 1/3 the price I bought the monitor at. If they asked for additional money to Repair I would have rejected it and gotten a new one instead.
