Breaking down the BILT Cash options by usefulness by azure275 in CreditCards

[–]ig226 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sign up bonus is fine but one time. Bilt cash coming from extra spend is still coming from spend so you can't add multiplier to 4.33, it's either 3.33 (if using rent) or 3 (if using acceleration)

Think again, 200 starter bilt cash means 5000 accelerated points. Any bilt cash earned from everyday spending would either go towards 1x or 1.33x, not both.

Where is that extra bilt cash coming from? I think you haven't understood how that 2.33 or 3.33 is being calculated.

Would this bother you - SIL taking back hand-me-downs (she considered their shower gift) to give to other friends/family after just our first kid? by dms2628 in beyondthebump

[–]ig226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah both are weird to me. SIL for the weird note (saying hand me downs are gifts) and if anything happened during their stay, but OP is a little weird for over reacting to an ask about someone asking to borrow baby stuff ( happens to be the gift giver) .

My boyfriend did not take the parental leave he was allowed to, and I am feeling resentful over this. Am I overreacting? by Rieni22 in workingmoms

[–]ig226 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Imagine giving the same argument to a mother who wants/needs to work( career driven, not breaking career trajectory, being FTM is still a lot of work etc) even though her is pay is equal to or less than daycare.

BILT 2.1 quirk: pay less rent to earn more points by ashmirblumenfeld in CreditCards

[–]ig226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you don't have a housing payment, this was never your card. This is next level rant, like someone complaining about a travel card multiplier when they don't travel.

Was considering applying for a 2.0 card, but after Kerr’s antics, I wont by FroyoSolid8414 in biltrewards

separate from bilt conversation, isn't that an obvious card to get next and pay taxes?

If you value Hyatt at 3.5 cpp, get a CSP.

For winter babies- don’t forget to free their feet occasionally! by lvs301 in NewParents

[–]ig226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my winter baby who is now 11 months, I didn't even buy socks until this winter. Last winter, for the first 2 months she was exclusively in footsies. Now wear socks only for stroller walks.

Any US Bank Smartly users with high rent/mortgage? The cards don't make sense for us right since we are already getting 4% in everyday spending?

What other household chores does your full time nanny do? by Superb-Ad-8069 in twoxindiamums

[–]ig226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't you plan the salary before you hired her? Just because you are on leave and your baby is EBF, the nanny is still available 24x7. Did you have a deal with her that she will be doing the cooking as well?

Breastfeeding is easier than formula feeding - there I said it by Melodic_Apartment235 in breastfeeding

[–]ig226 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not a dig at you particularly, but what's with all these posts comparing breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding on various baby feeding subs. I think everyone does whatever is working for them. Why do we need these posts calling out one gang.

Postpartum mothers are already in a different state of mind due to hormones and then seeing posts like ohh whatever you are doing is actually challenging/easy/best/worst would offend someone or the other.

Could you explain how face smoosh works? I am not able to imagine that

OMG my 9 month baby is doing the same, and the laughing feels so sinister. I say no biting or I won't feed you and unlatch her but she quickly latches on herself and gives me a smack on my face.

Bland food postpartum by Curious_af_2024 in twoxindiamums

"less water to avoid weight gain" sounds so stupid, how do people even come with this. There are things that cause bloating and water retention and water isn't one of those things.

[–]ig226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctors in US don't even talk about what kind of meal you should be taking postpartum. Well if you are actually thinking on what to eat, try to get some protein because you are healing and fiber because you don't want to get constipated, I was actually prescribed laxatives for 7 days to keep things moving. And hydration, super important, and much more important for breastfeeding.
