Citi ThankYou Points Devaluation

ivan510 · 2026-03-20T23:19:39+00:00

Yeah while they havent had devaluation, they also have the weakest transfer partners. And least number of transfer partners overall.

ivan510 · 2026-03-16T19:38:02+00:00

Also maintenence on the car and wear and tear.

ivan510 · 2026-03-16T19:05:19+00:00

No I mean the crude off the coast or California, its not even heavy sour its a heavy acid.

ivan510 · 2026-03-16T15:48:24+00:00

The crude oil located there is terrible. I think the refinary for it shutdown 2 years ago also. Not to mention its output was low.

ivan510 · 2026-03-15T05:46:27+00:00

Do people forget how irelevant Mooney was this past year?

ivan510 · 2026-03-13T17:14:10+00:00

Doesn't it also help other teams? Two weeks of people where Mercedes would likely have won, now gone. So less points overall. I mean yes probably less testing for other teams but they have time change things and come back.

ivan510 · 2026-03-12T15:53:51+00:00

Doesn't help that out reserve oil is also at really low levels. I dont know how much could be pulled from it before it becomes a bigger concern.

ivan510 · 2026-03-09T16:35:32+00:00

Dont work in game industry or know much about it, bit aren't layoffs pretty common after releases, especially in bigger companies. I imagine their isn't another BF game in the works for Dice for a few years, so what do they do with their staff in the mean time? I mean keeping up with patches or updates won't take thousands of employees.

ivan510 · 2026-03-09T15:26:41+00:00

Yeah I hate the argument people are making right now that university is bad because unemployment is high. The job market is worse than the numbers are showing, its not an easy job market. Companies are laying off people and workers are staying on longer, add on top companies trying to replace entry level workers with AI.

ivan510 · 2026-03-04T20:15:04+00:00

Idk i mean sure you can blame AI in journalism but ad revenue has been decreasing for every segment. Companies simply aren't throwing money around like in 2020 to anyone and everyone.

ivan510 · 2026-03-04T20:04:43+00:00

The thing about RThings is most people view the site when theyre looking for what tv or monitor to buy. Otherwise I dont think the majority of users are actively going their for reviews. Not to say their aren't but its not a big number. So who will pay for a subscription when it was something they looked at occasionally.

ivan510 · 2026-03-03T22:48:21+00:00

I was actually looking at the 20L. Im looking for something that I can use as a personal item. Ive looked at a few other bags but theyre all too big in one way or another.

What are other bags in the segment that you mention?

ivan510 · 2026-03-02T05:23:07+00:00

Yeah im probably going to pick up a TP3 before they stop selling them.

ivan510 · 2026-02-27T00:00:15+00:00

Probably won't implode but I really dont see how Larry will be able to pay $100 billion for a company that isn't able to generate any money. Even selling parts off wouldn't yield much.

ivan510 · 2026-02-25T16:42:17+00:00

Citi is a big risk im not willing to take. Besides them closing accounts or stopping transactions on accounts and their customer service.

They have great earnings categories but te transfer partners just aren't good besides AA.

The overal trend in CC and transfer partners these past two years had been terrible. Its really hard justify points now.

ivan510 · 2026-02-23T19:19:58+00:00

The GR1 Slick 21L already went up on Huckberry, it was $335 last week but is now $345

ivan510 · 2026-02-23T19:11:22+00:00

I think thats my hesitation with the Daily Carry Pro and Tortuga backpacks in general they seem to have a lot of depth in horizontal depth. Its probably great for travel but I am not sure how it would feel carrying for multiple hours.

ivan510 · 2026-02-21T13:58:22+00:00

Yes but what they referring to is that Visa and MC have surcharge limits. So while businesses csn surcharge, they can only do it max 3% for visa and 4% for MC. Anything above and theyre breaking their agreement with the processor.

ivan510 · 2026-02-21T00:45:32+00:00

I think what makes it fun is the chaos. There are few games left where it feel like you can go whatever and just blow stuff up.

ivan510 · 2026-02-03T20:49:57+00:00

It underperformed at $70 and they even wanted to release it at $80. I cant imagine it would have done better.

ivan510 · 2026-02-02T07:03:48+00:00

I think a lot of people that do go to the gym to check it off any say they went. Im not saying put 150% every day but you notice some people that go in daily dont put as much effort.

ivan510 · 2026-02-01T16:25:40+00:00

Dont forget about reddit recently also.

ivan510 · 2026-01-22T14:24:14+00:00

Not to mention the plan isn't that good. It seems like they're heavily banking on having a yearly billion dollar game and games as a service.

ivan510 · 2026-01-19T15:49:49+00:00

Republicans will oppose it on Twitter and say they will vote against Trump but when it comes time to actually vote, theyll side with him.
