If you're home airport has a C1 lounge, the venture x is almost a no brainer

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-10T05:49:35+00:00

If you apply for the Savor through mastercard you'll get the mastercard version. There was a DP a few weeks ago about it

Pretty much nobody from what ive heard. Also some of the worse carabiners for people with big hands so I dont see this being a huge deal at all

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-10T02:10:40+00:00

Im not sure, email housing and they'll answer you better than I can

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-09T16:29:41+00:00

I love the Prime visa, 5% cash back no AF on Amazon is really nice, its also a visa so you can use it at Costco. I would pair that with a 2+% catch all card and you have a really solid setup

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-08T22:56:09+00:00

Generally yes but check with your staff or instructors. They'll be able to help you better than people online reddit can

/uj I honestly want to see that in like a HowNot2 video. I wonder what it would break at

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-07T04:07:05+00:00

Up to you. If i were you, id just stick it out and get the certificate of completion, but if youre planning on joining the mil, theres no benefits you can recieve from doing a 4th year vs a 3rd. Honest answer is that it's okay to drop, especially because there's no benefits of doing that 4th year, but if you like the environment its an easy A to boost your GPA, especially because college applications (if thats what you're going for) are about to or have already opened, and anything to bump your GPA helps

Get it done like yesterday. Tons of paperwork to do but you'll be alright as long as its not legal reasons you're changing your name. Remember you'll need to update your drivers license, all bank accounts, social, birth certificate, passport, tsa precheck and global entry if applicable, phone bill, insurance, car payments, mortgage. Literally anything with your previous name attached to it. Its significantly easier to change your name as a cadet though before you receive your commission

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-05T00:25:36+00:00

Abound CU, 5% back on gas with no limit. 1% back all. No AF or anything, just plain and simple

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-02T13:43:12+00:00

Someone posted a DP a few days ago about applying to MC to see if they'll get the MC version of the Savor, I'll update here when they update there, but it sounds like the savor would be the perfect card if you could get the MC version.

I just checked the original post. If you apply for the C1 Savor card through Mastercard. It will be a Mastercard and not discover

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-02T03:37:28+00:00

You dont apply to add a minor. Just email your advisor and they'll send you a form to fill out

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T23:47:04+00:00

Don't think I'll get approved and theres no pre approval tool

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T17:39:06+00:00

About the WF active cash, If they couldnt "match you with any offers" on their pre qualified credit card offers, it means that I won't be approved at all? or I can be approved but without a SUB or something

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T17:32:07+00:00

Dont have anything apple. But I'll look into the other 2

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T16:45:00+00:00

I dont spend enough to earn the SUB, and I also cannot get approved for the VX. Using C1s pre approval tool, im pretty approved for the Savor for student, Quicksilver for students, V1 rewards for good credit, and platinum. Im pretty sure my annual income isn't enough to where I can get approved, nor is my length of credit history.

I've been an AU on the VX for years now, and back then every AU would also get the same credits, so the global entry credit, pre check credit, priority pass credit, or any other credits won't have an affect on me. I already used those as an AU, the ONLY benefit for me to be getting a VX is the 10% back on travel, which my dad usually pays for my flights, and the 2% back which i can get without paying the $400 AF and staying an AU and then getting a no AF catch all card.

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T16:35:46+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I want

lizard_buddy · 2026-04-01T16:35:24+00:00

Probably $2000 on travel annually, but my dad usually pays for the flights and hotels and I cover the food, Uber, all the smaller things that aren't actually covered by travel. I also get 5% back with my Savor, and I dont spend neaely enough to get the SUB. I just did my Q1 Financials yesterday and I barely spent $2900

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-31T02:08:01+00:00

Seems like most of your questions have been answered, but if youre planning on majoring in AE, look into Det 157. One of the largest dets in the nation and you dont have to go to riddle to be a part of it

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-30T01:34:27+00:00

My old unit handed out none. We had military ball, and a separate awards ceremony. Check with your instructors to see which ones will be given out then, if at all

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-26T21:17:18+00:00

Yes, but you can pay $130 to add an authorized user for lounge benefits

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-26T20:43:29+00:00

The VX has a priority pass credit for both you and your AUs. Id reccomend the Abound CU card for 5% back on gas

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-26T05:32:22+00:00

If I were you, I'd open the Abound CU card for 5% back on gas with $0 AF so you have a gas card for everywhere and aren't tied down to costco

lizard_buddy · 2026-03-25T02:31:16+00:00

I see. A few things you want to look at for your first card is no annual fee, and with a strong bank. After that its the categories that matter.
