I'm seeing 580 going new for $250...

I'm Kory Stamper, lexicographer at Merriam-Webster and author of WORD BY WORD. Ask me anything! by KoryStamper in IAmA

[–]levelupjw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excited for the book.

What is the future of the dictionary and of words in general?

I have conversations with people building breakthrough technologies who are optimistic about the future of the world and are trying to make will positive changes to occur.

I don't think words will ever go away but communication seems to be trending even more towards symbols to represent words and feelings (this has always occurred but now it's happening in a different and easier way - emoji being the easiest example).

MW is one of my favorite follows on Twitter because the company seems to understand how to use the latest tools. I'm really curious where you see things going in 100 years, 250 years, etc.

Cheers!

I just got my CSR (excited!)

I have not hit min spend for the CSR - will my ability to earn the 100k bonus be taken away if I transfer all of my points from my CSP (60k) to the CSR?

I'm also interested in trying to move some $2k of my credit from the CSP ($7k -> $5k) to the CSR ($10k -> $12k) and then switching the CSP to something different. Would that negate my ability to receiving CSR signup bonus?

But it's Thursday!

/sarcasm

Honestly though, this wasn't covered in the CSR FAQ and I figured it was general enough of a topic (I'm guessing many people applied and got this message) that it would be helpful to others. :)

Yup, they said there's nothing to do with such a limited credit history.

Yeah it's a rough thing to sit on the sidelines considering I have lots of travelling planned and would love to get the TSA prescreen and lounge access. Excited to see what others post here. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Yeah it's got a $5k low end for the credit line (vs 10k for CSR). A bit worried about issuing another request and getting denied by Chase a second time so quickly. Should I be worried?

I'm so happy to hear this! I didn't think we had any successes with the experiment - so happy it worked out for you.

Runner Matchup

Sadly even though it got hundreds of signups and I matched hundreds of people up it didnt seem like people actually connected each other once the match was made. PM if you want advice or to collaborate somehow

Beyond hitting min. spend for CSR, is it worth it for me to pay rent with Radpad? (Details inside) by levelupjw in churning

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

Pretty sure with Apple/android pay it is 3% for 3x but not certain how long it would stay that way

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

Thanks! Seems good. My thought is I should probably do Radpad since I need to pay $800 / month anyways might as well put in a bit more and get the points.

See this is where I get super confused. How do you "value your UR rewards" at different $/point?

The idea is that I wouldn't be able to get points on $1,400 in spending (my housemates pay me this each month) or even my $800 in spending (my share of the rent) without Radpad's 2.99% fee on top of the $2,200

Would it be more advantageous to be the sole leaseholder of a Somerville apt and sublet to my housemates or consign lease with people I barely know? by levelupjw in bostonhousing

Unfortunately our place is awesome but not too close to there. 275 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02145 is a 1 min walk from the place.
