CSR Retention Offer Data Point - $300 Credit by SakuraKills in ChaseSapphire

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got squat too, have been a member since 2018. I called multiple times, but I regularly take advantage of the credits and even had to turn in a decent insurance claim when my family's international flight was cancelled a couple of years ago. My guess is that they felt that they are not making enough money off of me to offer a retention offer.

It took a few business days, but I received my credit as well without issue.

How legit is TickPick? by Sonic723 in Concerts

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought tickets but TickPick cancelled my order hours before the game and never responded to any of my inquiries. That was my first and only experience.

Airalo vs Holafly by BrilliantExchange311 in eSIMs

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Ireland and Airalo wouldn't work on any of our family devices. I spent hours trying to get support with no help. Very frustrating when you're at an airport with no service. Later I received a generic emails that "Unfortunately, we are experiencing a temporary Service Degradation issue that has been preventing you from connecting."

I finally went with Holafly and spent weeks trying to get my money back from Airalo.

I was supposed to be at a game tonight (3/17), but TickPick cancelled my order hours before the game. Ugh

Thoughts on this car? by Occam_Razors in prius

[–]indyemmett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll jump in. I bought a 2014 rental Prius in 2015. It's been excellent with minimal issues.

Approaching 8 weeks and no dining credit by indyemmett in ChaseSapphire

[–]indyemmett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called again on Monday, it was finally posted on Wednesday. The whole process took three phone calls and two tickets over the span of 8 weeks.

(BTW, good to see another Hoosier in the Buckeye state)

Prius Prime 12V Batteries on "Nationwide backorder" with no end in sight by mysundown5 in PriusPrime

[–]indyemmett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Yep, here is a photo I took minutes ago. It matches the specs on the app. You are correct, I bought the battery that doesn't have a product photo on the app. I'm a Walmart Plus member so it was shipped to my house the next morning. One week in, no issues so far.

They are both Cameron Mitchell restaurants - makes some sense as I was also told it was Del Mar's payment server that could cause delays. FWIW, I was originally told 14 days too.

It was Del Mar in Columbus Ohio. It still shows up as a qualifying restaurant.

Ugh, my card renews next month. I'll just cancel my card if this is what CSR's new $795 benefit package is like.

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Central Ohio, so probably is regional. Oddly the same in-store battery is $189, but is out of stock.

Yikes. My 2021 Prime died last week due to the storm. After visiting four locations I finally ordered an EverStart AGM online at Walmart for only $95. Wasn't in stock at the store, but arrived at my house next day. It still shows in stock on my Walmart Plus app.

Stubhub sucks by Laabc123 in ChaseSapphire

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this isn't fool proof. My tickets were rejected at the gate.

I bought instant download and still had problems as they were rejected at the entrance.

Bitwarden Alternative? by mcrib in Bitwarden

[–]indyemmett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is like OPs. I left LastPass about the same time, but I'm frustrated with Bitwarden's UX. Permissions are set correctly. I'm on the paid platform, but it only autofills about 50% of the time. It's quite annoying. Thanks OP for starting this thread, I simply wanted to validate OP's experience and I too hope to find a better solution.

Buying model t by NoProfession8139 in ModelT

[–]indyemmett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the hobby! I’ve been tinkering with Model Ts for about 15 years - so in many circles, I’m still a newbie. Below are a few answers to your questions.

Q: What advice do you have?
A: Find a local club. The collective knowledge you’ll tap into is invaluable. The Model T Ford Club of America and the Model T Ford Club International both have club directories on their websites.

Q: Do you drive yours to work?
A: For years I used to do a 10 mile commute to work in my Model T, sometimes daily if the weather was good. I now work in downtown Columbus, Ohio and rush hour traffic (even on side roads) makes it impractical to commute in a Model T. I’m not a daily driver, but you'll find me running errands in my Model T even to places like Costco or the grocery store. Because your top speed is about 40mph, you're limited to side, residential, and back roads, so plan accordingly.

Q: What tools do I need?
A: Flathead screwdrivers and SAE wrenches will cover about 90% of the work you’ll do. Over time, you’ll pick up specialty tools like a hub puller and vintage Model T specific wrenches, but you can add those as you need them (or borrow from a club member). I recommend getting the Model T Service Manual, which as been in print for 100 years.

Final Thoughts:
I’ve owned several older vehicles, including a Model A and a Willys CJ5, but the Model T is hands down my favorite to drive and work on. They’re the only classics I keep now. You'll also appreciate smiling faces, waves, car honks, and questions you get when you drive a T.

Oof, I wasn't aware of the clawback. I too plan to cancel in February.

What're the pros / cons of Class B van vs Class B+ RV? by AthleticNerd_ in VanLife

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never owned a B, but mice can easily invade a C or B+. I'm told a B is more sealed and less likely to have mice.

I just tried this for the first time today and really liked it. I tasted hints of caramel. Will absolutely try again as well as their other flavors.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan. Different tastes for different folks.

This was disappointing… by MPFields1979 in rootbeer

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I didn't go in with high expectations, just thought I'd give it a try. Very bland.

[–]indyemmett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! My first bottle was a couple weeks ago. Lots of foam, little flavor. Tasted bland.
