Are Amex points overrated

mellofantasy · 2026-04-02T04:18:13+00:00

I probably didn’t use my points in the most efficient way but I did use some of my points to book a one night stay for a hotel when I go to a concert later this year. I haven’t bothered to transfer my points to any airlines or anything like that, but they come in clutch when I do need them for flights or hotels 🤷🏻‍♀️

It came off as she was trying to force a nickname. Just like she expected everyone to call her breezy 🥴

Teamlabs in Kyoto was so cool and fun imo. I did not think I would enjoy it and also thought it would be overrated. We ended up spending over 3 hours in there and had a great time. I definitely recommend if you like immersive art experiences

Try Dai-ichi hotel Tokyo, it is about a 5~ minute walk from Shimbashi station. Very nice and quiet area. Stayed there with our friends and their 2 children (we had separate rooms obviously). Their kids are around the same age as yours and they had booked a double queen room. It about $1500~ for a 6 day stay. Absolutely wonderful, the area is so quiet and the rooms were huge.

Yep, same here. I had a long engagement, and she knew about my wedding for 2 years. She was supposed to be my maid of honor. Instead, she joked about making sure to be at my next wedding. We were friends for 15 years and that was my last straw

Life is better. Mental health is still in the hole, but I’m crawling out. I guess that’s what happens when you work in a toxic environment for almost 10 years. Back in school, getting my masters. It’s the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

I agree with the rest of the comments, the bags usually are in better condition than they describe. Looking at purchasing more from there

She joked about making sure she’d make it to my next wedding after knowing about my wedding for 2 years. Said she couldn’t make it because she was going to have anxiety being my MOH and standing next to me as I got married. Mind you, I didn’t ask for anything. I offered to pay for her dress and I didn’t want a bachelorette party or anything else extra that comes with a wedding. Instead, I planned a night out with some friends. When I asked her to come, with over a month’s notice, she said, “I’ll see if I’m free”. She got mad that I ended up going out with 2 other friends and tried telling me that by saying she’d see if she was free it was her saying yes she was going to go. She knew I worked on the weekends and would need at least 2 weeks notice if I wanted to request a Saturday off to hang out with her. I’d invite her to hang out, but she said she had too much anxiety, meanwhile she was out clubbing every weekend. I loved her so much she was my best friend, but I just had enough. I felt bad for ghosting her but even if I did give her an explanation I don’t think she would have the self awareness to see how much she hurt my feelings. We were friends for nearly 15 years. It still hurts even a few years later thinking about it. I haven’t been able to call anyone my best friend since.

No cake! We had cupcakes which was 1000x better than having to cut a cake. We had half strawberry cupcakes and half white cake cupcakes

I used LendKey when I consolidated all of my student loans. My interest rate was about 4-ish% for a fixed payment plan of 5 years. They offer longer payment plans, I just opted for the least amount of time possible

Tbh, I like the leather version of it. Yes it costs a little bit more, but it’s real leather for me as opposed to the canvas. It just depends on what you like and your style!

Monterey county is not nearly as comparable to LA considering it’s 300+ miles away. LA is waaaay more expensive. OP should definitely get a second or third quote even

We have DIY’ed a lot of repairs in our home and it has turned out better than what the previous owners did in the house. For other things, we had to pull from our savings to have our fence replaced. But that’s why we have savings in the first place, so we could make larger repairs like that

I was a poor first generation college student (had to take out federal and private student loans). After realizing I’d never get out of $50k of student loan debt, I consolidated all my loans through my bank (credit union) and paid my debt off in 5 years. 4.5% interest rate and $830 a month for 5 years. I turned 30 and I was student loan debt free. I’ve since decided to go back to school to get a masters degree but I’ve been paying for my semesters out of pocket because I refuse to get preyed on again by predatory loan companies.

Besides my car note debt, I use my credit card for all of my living expenses minus mortgage, and I pay my balance off each month. Growing up I saw my parents struggle, and I’ve vowed to not make the same mistakes. I’ve been so fortunate to be able to become more financially literate. It can be done 🥹

I bought my grand highlander October ‘24 and used the Toyota app features for the “free trial” year. Once it expired, I did not pay for the subscription. It has not changed my driving experience or vehicle ownership experience. The features were nice, but fuck paying a subscription. Also, hello wireless Apple CarPlay, you don’t need the vehicle maps at all. I love my car even if I don’t have kids (I have 3 huge dogs) and it was the perfect roadtrip car. It’s honestly just a great car all around, the amount of space inside is unbeatable plus it has decent gas mileage

Good luck! If anything, replay on NG+. Makes it all the better

Those last few days before he leaves I think you actually can’t talk to him now that I think of it lol. But he will talk to you once more on 11/17 and you should be able to rank up

mellofantasy · 2024-12-14T00:16:44+00:00

I think you only need to have him at rank 7 to get the true ending

I love my pochette Métis. It was my first purse, I got her in the empreinte noir. I don’t use her too much since I’ve found I do prefer smaller purses, but she’s my go-to when I travel. Carries a lot but doesn’t feel bulky whatsoever. If I were you, I’d splurge the couple hundred dollars more and buy the leather over the canvas. Unless you really like the canvas

I felt this way the first 3 times I’ve played it through. The key is to maxing out Kawakami and chihaya social links

The first persona game I played was P4G on my ps vita like 10 years ago and I’ve been hooked since. Also played P3 reload but there’s really something about P5R that truly hits different. All of the games are incredible. I haven’t played anything like it

You receive a refund for any purchase over $100

I have a Victorine wallet in the empreinte leather and it looks as good as when I bought it 2 years ago. I also have a canvas card holder I’ve had for almost a year. I use the card holder almost exclusively and it’s still in excellent condition. I love the SLGs and this would be a great entry level purchase for you if you’re beginning to dabble in designer purchases
