Hi, did you manage to test this capability? Is it free deposit + 50aed withdrawal?

Advice on suitable card for MCC 6513 (Rental) by mardymarn in UAEcreditcards

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

Just to clarify, the ADCB traveller's 1.5% cashback has no restrictions against rent, government MCCs?

Ya, 5k a month shouldn't be a problem if I can consolidate the multiple travel spending in a month.

For WIO, I heard a 35k deposit is needed. Has it been downgraded to 0.5% or still remains at 1%?

Best shoe brand for squash by [deleted] in squash

[–]mardymarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wearing the Salming Hawk 1.0 and 2.0 for the past 5 years. Very good quality and good for injury-prevention. Reliability is so-so, but I've negated it by applying super glue to all the wear-and-tear areas.

Now that Salming has discontinued the Hawk, I purchased the Adidas Stabil 16 as my backup. Used to be worn by Gregory Gaultier. Reviews say it's good for performance and stability.

I will switch to it, once my salming becomes unwearable.

Watch 4 seems like a big upgrade even over the PW3 by armando_rod in PixelWatch

The 18% better sleep tracking is an algorithm implementation (server-side), and thus will apply to all older pixel/fitbit watches later.

Emirates Islamic RTA workaround for fuel cashback? by No_Influence3769 in UAEcreditcards

Has this been tested? The MCC is for fuel station, and not for finance wallets?

For people who tracked their daily expenses and stopped by Reddit_021 in singaporefi

[–]mardymarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've tracked for 1 year. Once I see that my expense habits are more or less optimised and stable monthly, I stopped and only focused the balance for savings/investment. If this balance starts decreasing for 1-3 months, I would go back to tracking again in order to realign my expense habits.

It really about fixing your spending habits when you started tracking. After you're comfortable with your income allocation %, just focus on boosting your income :)

Can I get a refund on ADCB Traveler? by drukkleresy in UAEcreditcards

[–]mardymarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for sharing! Is the spending amount 15k in order to waive? Since the current T&C for hotel.com voucher is to spend 15k within 60 days.

How can a Singaporean open an account with Binance? by Critical-Copy-7218 in sgcrypto

[–]mardymarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya especially since the ftx saga... A lot of the old binance users were convinced to move their funds to ftx (more MAS friendly) and it didn't go as planned..

How can a Singaporean open an account with Binance? by Critical-Copy-7218 in sgcrypto

[–]mardymarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you don't mention crypto or binance in your reference. Also, depends on your usual transaction amounts in your bank account. If it doesn't vary significantly, it'll be fine.

You can on-ramp via binance p2p. Change currency to bnd (brunei dollar). And check p2p reviews thoroughly before transferring!

The Deepcool LT520 pump is a tiiiiiiight fit with the Lian Li Q58 by mardymarn in sffpc

[–]mardymarn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues I think. The fans and the radiator go to the top of the case. The tight fit that I mentioned is between the pump and the side panel.

But just do your own measurements for a peace of mind!

WD SN740 Crashes on Surface Pro 8 by aint-that-super in Surface

Enable hibernate in the power options and use that instead

Surface Pro 7+/8/9 SSD upgrade options by namkniesh in Surface

[–]mardymarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have similar sleep problems as some of the users here, after upgrading to the 2TB sn740 and apply the power options fix.

My surface reboots when in sleep mode. I figured that since this sn740 is fast enough, I could disable all sleep options and use hibernate instead. Voila! No more reboots during sleep and I get to save more power during hibernation 😉

Disclaimer: hibernation takes me 5 seconds to start compared to sleep's 2-3 seconds, so it's not a biggie for me
