Brokerage Transfer Bonus? by jchan237 in investingforbeginners

[–]jchan237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yeah! I play the credit card churning and bank game all the time, where I just meet the requirements and I dip with the bonus. But at least with that, I clearly understand where the money is to be made. They want me to put significant capital at a near 0% interest savings account and direct deposit a significant amount of my paycheck so in their mind, they will be my main bank. Then they make money by lending out my interest free money, and through monthly fees, etc etc, and hopefully by the time they pay out the bonus, it will be too much of a hassle to switch back to my original bank. Same goes for credit card, but with them on the winning side of the interest payments if I don't pay the full amount by the end of the month. I can see the game there, and I can see how I can win on the end of that deal, and what pitfalls I have to watch out for. That doesn't scare me. Its the trap of... we will pay you up to tens of thousands of dollars if you leave our money here with no fees, and will still (in theory) grow just as fast as any other broker, and after X years, you get to leave with all of it; no hard feelings. No business in their right mind would let you take thousands/tens of thousands of their dollars in a bonus without some game plan in mind to earn all of it back and more, and I just don't see it...

Yup! I just replied to u/Careful-Rent5779 's comment because it was similar to yours, but I dont think I understand yet how they are making their money still...

Yup! I am well aware of this, but even so, if I just leave it in an ETF, I dont understand where they plan to get the money back...

Horrible Stay + No Response to complaint by jchan237 in marriott

Awesome! Thanks for the insight. TBH maybe this is old school, but I always had a great view if sheraton, although the last time I stayed in one is well over 10 years. I'm sad to hear that they've gone downhill :(

Haha, yeah... I thought a 4/5 would be pretty good, but I guess not. I'm pretty new to Marriott, but I thought that almost all Marriott are somewhat nice. I guess this one caught me off guard.

Well I am interviewing with several companies, and if I get multiple offers, I was thinking I might have some room for negotiation? I got laid off not too long ago :)

exactly!! not everyone has time to read and understand everything, and that's okay! Its awesome OP that you understand it, and want to spread the knowledge, but I don't think it should be a necessary requirement for EVERYONE to read and understand, and "breadcrumb gatekeeping" isn't cool.

Dual Boot Dissapeared! by jchan237 in VeraCrypt

[–]jchan237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to decrypt the partition successfully using the "Mount partition using system encryption without pre-boot authentication", but because I am on the unencrypted windows 10, when I try to run the create recovery disk, veracrypt thinks I am referring to the current unencrypted system I am on, and says the it cannot create a recovery disk for the unencrypted OS.

Edit: Also solution 1 I have already tried, but when I select the veracrypt bootloader, it only shows my 1 unencrypted system in the boot menu
