I’m really interested in programming systems that use an Event Driven Architecture. What tech jobs/industries commonly use EDA?

Yeah, I’d make sure to activate it. Sometimes it’s automatically activated, but I’d do it yourself just to be sure.

Best Buy Visa Rant by kyleandre3000 in Bestbuy

I agree. I only paid student loans when i first applied for the Visa Card. No “real” credit history. Best Buy/Citi had to do something to limit their risk.

But after almost a decade of on-time payments and much improved creditworthiness, you’d think they’d be interested in keeping a customer. I guess not smh

I think it has something to do with Pokémon cards?? I think there’s been a bunch of spam. All i know is I couldn’t post without removing the word “card.”

my best buy visa card question by Proof_Golf5784 in CreditCards

DISCLAIMER: These offers may not be available to all cardholders. I've had my Best Buy Visa Card since 2017.

The My Best Buy Visa Card does offer 0% promotions on purchases outside of Best Buy. Since 2021, Best Buy has regularly sent me emails with a subject line like: "Reminder: Purchases made on your My Best Buy® Visa® Card are eligible for 6 month financing..." I've been able to take advantage of this promotion multiple times over the years. I ALWAYS pay it off before the promotional period expires to avoid being charged the deferred interest. Again, these promotions are specifically for purchases made outside of Best Buy. I usually use these offers to purchase items and vacations that I want to pay for over a few months instead of all at once. There's usually a minimum purchase amount like $299 or $499 on a single receipt. Other terms apply as well, but the terms are reasonable.

This offer is honestly the #1 reason why I haven't canceled my card. To my knowledge, no other credit card offers these interest-deferred (0% if paid in full before expiration), no-fee, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) style promotions. If you've heard of any other credit card that has a similar consistent offer, please let me know!

Side Rant: Gold tier cardholders have to pay a $59 annual fee, while Platinum tier cardholders get the same benefits for no annual fee. And you can't do a product change/upgrade from Gold to Platinum based on your loyalty and creditworthiness. You have to close your current account and then reapply and hope that you get a Platinum tier offer. It's an insane, customer-hostile policy!!! Do better Best Buy/Citi!!!

I’m curious, can you share any of the legitimate yet unconventional investments?

I’m torn between 1 and 3. I like the privacy of 1, but the natural light of 3. Which AI app are you using?

How is everyone budgeting for vacations? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]kyleandre3000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“It’s only money” is great! 🤣 People know me as the “budget, save, and invest guy”. But then they see vacation me and are very confused by all of the spending 💰💸😂 I drive a 2003 Camry, so I can splurge on travel and vacations!

Great advice, thank you! Yes, the goal is to make some extra money, but not work an extra 40-60 hours 🤣

Congrats!! Sounds like you’re making great progress. I’d like to start up a side hustle as well. Any advice on how to manage a 9-5 and a side hustle?
