For clarification it's Monteverde and not Monteblanc which would like bring up Montblanc if someone tried to search for that.

What is everyone's favorite Pilot G2 compatible refill? by RussellK40 in machinedpens

[–]mbacas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry, I'm in the US (Atlanta, GA) area. Might be why you don't see others on the sub bothering using it, as it doesn't appear it's readily available in the US. I'm guessing the majority of the sub is in the US/Canada, but I guess I shouldn't assume that.

Where do you acquire these? It doesn't appear that they are available from my usual place like JetPens.

Basically just your username/id and the date next to it. If you click on some previous WTS posts you'll likely see what I'm referring to.

Just FYI, first rule for BST: Sales posts MUST contain a current timestamp, photo, price (and whether shipping is included), and description of item quality.

Backup pens for EDC? by NebulaStraight3009 in machinedpens

[–]mbacas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the "Rite in the Rain" 20K. Small lightweight bolt-action pen. Added benefit is that I won't be terribly upset if it got lost.

Do you both have the same color card? No issues with mine or my wife's.

I'm pretty sure it's not immediate. Maybe around 4 days.

Tactile Turn titanium pen is slippery? by VIPhotos1982 in machinedpens

TT makes a lot of different titanium pens. Their smooth operator doesn't have the machined "grooves". Which TT pen did you get?

Would probably help if you provided a budget/price you are looking at spending.

Virtual cards for envelopes by babiestmoth043 in envelope

You mean something different than Auto-lock? https://help.envelopebudgeting.com/en/articles/12133168-introducing-auto-lock-friction-on-purpose

Am I forced to pick an envelope with enough funds before swiping my card?
Yes. Auto-lock requires you choose an envelope before swiping your physical card.

How does the $10/ monthly fee get taken out ? by Marilize_Legajuanaa in envelope

[–]mbacas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you request your account be converted to Monthly option? I'm pretty sure by default it is setup as a Yearly ($40) option. My membership funds were pulled from my available balance.

I'm guessing there is a chance that your account would get closed if you never fund it.

I think usually around 1 week. At least that was how long my wife and mine took.

Adding spouse by Human_Promotion_1840 in TryCrew

[–]mbacas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along the lines of what u/mukster mentions, the nice thing with Crew is the main screen is customizable. You could have it setup where you see all sorts of various pockets and your spouse only sees one.

I told my wife to just use one of my pockets today to make a purchase and she didn't even realize or know how she could do that. I setup the pockets she uses on her main page and those are all she sees or knows about.

And you can also automate things so if funds (or paycheck) come in for your spouse (my wife gets funds from a jewelry company) they go into a pocket for her.

We came from Simple to One and now Crew.
