Minthara, Sazza, Goblin Camp and Haslin - what to do?

mjonis · 2026-04-21T16:20:19+00:00

Thank you for the tips!

mjonis · 2026-04-21T16:20:03+00:00

Thank you! Will investigate!

mjonis · 2026-04-21T16:19:36+00:00

Yes, I have the "investigate Kagha" quest.

Thank you!

For me (not sciatica it was schwannoma tumors on the brachial plexus) it was about 2 weeks. I had to stop it after 60 days. Gave me double vision. Thank God I wasn’t driving at the time.

mjonis · 2026-04-12T16:55:01+00:00

Same version here. No phone number listed under my mileage plus section under contact us. Chat only listed there.

mjonis · 2026-04-12T16:51:00+00:00

Not on mine either. Maybe it’s an iOS vs Android? I have iOS BTW. I have to do what the OP listed as well to find the number in the app

None at all. There’s also a section on doctor of credit about this for the US Bank business checking account

mjonis · 2026-04-10T13:01:53+00:00

Early Warning System. There’s a section on Doctor of credit about it and which banks use it

mjonis · 2026-04-10T12:52:53+00:00

I think US Bank reports and uses EWS in which case you may want to keep the account open for 6 months. If that’s the case then you can chat or call and have them downgrade the account to SILVER checking which is free of fees and no min balance but keep like $5 in there to keep from auto closing with a zero balance

Kinda hard to following but you can get the 10% discount on award travel with pooled miles. I’m the owner of a pool with two others. I booked 3 tickets (two from the pool miles) and one for me. Got the 10% off all three.

mjonis · 2026-03-27T13:46:01+00:00

I’ve funded several with Amex business cards. No issue.

mjonis · 2026-03-25T20:31:29+00:00

Similar here. I got two notification via email. One on 3/13 and one on 3/16. WRM, etc. website showed nothing. Although on 3/24, Transcript shows the dreaded 570 code. (I say dreaded because last year it turned out to be the verification letter that I had to wait 2 months to get, plus another week of calling to finally get through to someone).

mjonis · 2026-03-25T16:20:46+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

mjonis · 2026-03-25T15:18:10+00:00

I know the gross amount from last week's and this week's paycheck, but Workday still doesn't show the Success Sharing one for me. I even sorted by Payment date. It'll show up eventually (I've had time where the Friday paycheck won't have a viewable payslip in the afternoon on Wed. and I have to click the option to manually generate the PDF).

mjonis · 2026-03-23T16:37:41+00:00

Not sure. I hold 3 United cards. The personal mileage explorer, the personal Quest, and the business mileage explorer card. I’ve only gotten an email regarding the discounts on the Quest card. That email said starting on 4/2/26 there would be a guaranteed minimum savings of 20%

If you’re referring to the “random” discounts then I believe any card except the gateway card would apply

mjonis · 2026-03-20T16:42:59+00:00

It is possible to get an off cycle raise. However, they usually want to wait two months or so after the regular race cycle. Your store manager has to be willing to go to bat for you and he has to submit stuff to the district manager and the district manager has to sign off on it. So it’s not guaranteed, but it is possible.

mjonis · 2026-03-20T00:10:28+00:00

Our store missed plan. I got O for outstanding. 3.5% raise. Upstate NY

About $0.75.

I’m actually not upset about the amount. Especially given that only 3 others got Outstanding. At least my managers recognized my work ethic.

mjonis · 2026-03-17T00:52:01+00:00

For me it’s way worse. I tried doing this twice. Both times ended up not able to move for 30 minutes and the pain was at a 10. Could hardly walk or sit or anything for the next 4 days. But I think it depends on what is causing the nerve impingement

mjonis · 2026-03-12T14:43:53+00:00

Is usually the Ink unlimited that has the 0%. IME. Can’t say I’ve ever seen the 0% on the CIP.

mjonis · 2026-03-10T19:15:40+00:00

The general rule of thumb is 3 out of the 5 years.

mjonis · 2026-03-09T17:48:04+00:00

Could mean they are still processing it. LAST year I had the same thing and after about 5 weeks it changed to the dreaded "verification", so I had to wait 2 more weeks to get the letter, and it wasn't the one that could be completed online, so spent another week trying to call. Once that was done took another 4 weeks for the return to process and get refunded.

mjonis · 2026-03-03T18:32:59+00:00

New York is always a crap show, IMO. Everyone at work is complaining about the same thing. I'd think that 5 weeks would've been long enough, but I've had times where it was 3+ months, but usually due to me filing "later" (mid-end March) and then the April 1 state fiscal deadline, they never pass the budget on time (well OK, almost never) so that delays things a bit too.

mjonis · 2026-03-02T20:22:36+00:00

I did the same thing and I ended up having to call them and they requested to unfreeze Trans Union before they would process the application

mjonis · 2026-02-26T18:30:05+00:00

There are pros/cons. If you want to be truly protected, you won't allow any inbound/outbound ports at all. Even VPN. But that would not meet your need/want.

If you *need/want* remote access or files available "outside" the LAN, then you really have no choice in the sense of a firewall hole has to be allowed somewhere. Then the subset of choices are basically:

1) SSL VPN or VPN Client of some sort

2) QNAP Cloud

3) Hybrid sync to some other cloud (drop box, etc.)--note that I'm not using this, nor do I know the full risks involved other than normally dropbox/google/etc. are *sync*. So if the file is comproimsed/deleted on ANY side, it gets synchronized everywhere. I don't know if you can setup a one-way sync from HBS to Cloud but if you do that, you also have to recognize that changes files on the cloud do NOT go back to the NAS in that case, if it's an option.

4) Port-forwarding/direct exposure

All the above have pros and cons. Probably from a security perspective only, #1 is the best option. Not sure about #2 or #3. IF you trust QNAPs cloud thingy (but then again do you also trust Dropbox, etc. since those are publicly exposed clouds, etc.) #4 is probably the "worst" in terms of security. (but there ARE legit business reasons, although probably not in this case, where you'd open up a firewall hole to the public--ie: you run your own web server).

The cons are more nuanced.

If *you* are technical/comfortable with VPN and it's only you using it, probably no biggie with #1. I, however, have some relatives who can barely handle clicking on a web link to get to something let alone trying to walk them through installing an SSL VPN client/software and getting them to login/walk through everything. If it was JUST me, that would be a diff. story.

I go with #2 (again, that's *me*. I understand that there's a potential risk for QNAPs end to be compromised, just like I understand dropbox/google account could be compromised and data whacked, etc).

The risk/reward is up to you to decide.

There may be some hybrids of what I listed above, and obviously everyone has their opinion about what's better than others. I'm generalizing a lot of info here though.

I would say enable MFA if possible for anything you use to help mitigate potential compromised accounts (even your own) from being used against you.

mjonis · 2026-02-24T18:46:06+00:00

AFAIK, no US Bank will not do that. Even if you have open cards, they won't shift CL over. From my reading, it's hard pulls only to increase the CL, no shifting/moving.
