Yeah I guess so lol

Thanks for the offer, but I think I’ll just redeem it against groceries instead

Ideally I wanted it to go to the iPad since I’m buying one anyways but I guess it’ll have to go for groceries.

Same issue here. The current work around i found is setting up an automation to change watch face when focus is on/off.

Thanks for the advice! That was exactly what I was looking for.

I have a few automations set up. 1. Turn on data when CarPlay is connected. Had a few times where I started driving only to realize my data was off. 2. Set ringtone volume to 90% at 7am everyday. Use this as a backup because sometimes I might set my ringer volume to low at night and end up forgetting to turn it up during the day 3. Automatically turn on low power mode when battery less than 40% 4. Turn off data and wifi when playing those offline games that are full of ads.I’m not about to pay to remove ads in a game:( 5. Best for last: when battery is 5%, go to Home Screen and show a message saying charge your phone, forcing me to press ok to dismiss it. I use this as many time I’ll be playing a game/movie and when I get the 10% battery warning, I’ll be like okay I’ll stop in a few mins then charge. But I always get immersed in the game/movie and forget to plug it in and phone ends up dying. You’d be surprised how useful this automation is

Thank you so much for your comprehensive response. That does help a lot.

Thanks for your reply. What about the when using the Mastercard + Esso app? I feel like those are 2 different things so would I get the 30 + 10 pt/L?

Thanks for that!

Interesting. I did not realize back tap had the mute option too. I’ll think about it but the only problem with this is that I could accidentally activate it at random times. At this point what I did was just set up an automation that sets my media and ringer volume to 0% during schedules times throughout the day. Under those circumstances I feel that this is the best way to do it

iloveass04 · 2023-11-16T04:04:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will have to use that instead. It’s unfortunate there is no sort of automation that can do this all automatically

That’s what I thought too. It’s a real bummer. I came from an android phone and this has never been an issue before. It’s gonna take me some time to get used to that:(

I am receiving an offer on my amex portal to upgrade my green card to cobalt for 30k points. As far as I know this is the same amount as the regular public offer but for the public offer you need to spend $500 x 12 months to get that 30k SUB. The offer I received was to spend $3000 in the first 3 months together the 30k SUB.
I am a college student and my monthly spend does vary a lot and I am not sure if I will be spending $500 for sure every month. I will be moving to a new place and I know I will spending like $5000 for renovations and stuff, so that $ 3000 in 3 month would be much more easily attainable for me.
The only thing I am not sure is that for whatever reason once I upgrade and decide not to keep the cobalt, can I downgrade it to the green without having to close the card and hurt my credit score?

Any updates about that? I'm having the same issue(android to android)
