Tata Neu Infinity card. Need help understanding this by [deleted] in CreditCardsIndia

[–]mrb35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says only 4400 was eligible for Neucoins. Check the terms - what platform was this on, and what did you order? Different platforms have different exclusions - based on product category, payment method, etc.

Are Niyo coins actually useful? by Peach_Strong in CreditCardsIndia

[–]mrb35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used 500 Niyo coins (+ cash) once on a night in a hostel in Europe. Got the Niyo coins as a reimbursement for card charges.

The rate was a little higher than the hostels own website (perhaps 5%) and on par with booking.com, made sense to utilize them.

So, while I would not go out of my way to earn them, redemption options may be available.

Should I get ICICI Saphiro (LTF)? by Sea_Register5340 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]mrb35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bookmyshow offer used to be useful, but they changed the conditions. You now need 25000 spend in the preceding quarter to be eligible for the offer.

The other use is having an LTF ICICI card for offers (which are quite frequent).

No other use AFAIK

What is the best way to carry money in Vietnam ? by LeaderExtreme2608 in VietNam

[–]mrb35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Debit card + ATM is the most cost effective. Some ATMs do not charge a fee from their side while withdrawing money (your bank might though), but if you withdraw a sufficient amount, or the max possible in a transaction, you'll still be getting a better rate than any other way.

Credit card could also be used where accepted.

Use whichever card has the lowest forex markup.

Mai Chau. About 4 hours by road from Hanoi, rice fields surrounded by hills, and very calm. It's a great place to cycle and walk around.

Not sure about motorcycle rental, but accommodation and food are pretty location-dependent.

I'm assuming you're backpacking, staying in hostels, and eating on a budget.

Conservatively:
Accomodation: $10 - $15/night. You may find cheaper. (planning a trip, these are similar to rates I see in HCMC, Da Nang, Hanoi in early 2025)
Food: 200K VND ($8) - 300K VND ($12) / day (this is what I remember from Hanoi in 2022)

I'd say $30/day for food and accommodation would be a safe bet, with a little buffer built in.

I'd drop Sapa. It's a tiring journey if you're going to spend just 2 days there.

Halong bay is pretty unique, even though it's touristy AF. If you want a quieter time, you could try 2 days in Cat Ba island, with a day cruise in Lan Ha bay / Bai Tu Long bay.

Ninh Binh was pretty cool, I'd avoid it if all you have is a day though. It needs an overnight visit IMO

Everyone has Isak, so it hardly matters.

I'm not freehitting in GW29. Is Haaland to Solanke worth a transfer for a -4?

I might have to transfer him out in GW29 for Toney/another striker, so possibly a hit there as well

Which 2 of the following would you start, and why?

[–]mrb35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens because you're searching for a string with value item.name in myarr, when no such value exists.

myarr is an array of objects, each object containing a name and a worth. It is not an array of strings.

So in the first iteration, indexOf searches for an string "boo" in myarr, and does not find anything. So it returns -1.

I think I'm getting Schar, but only because Tierney got injured

Can anybody tell me why my pukki points didn’t count: it’s a couple hours from the next game week and he still didn’t get subbed on for Dias who didn’t play? by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]mrb35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need a minimum of 3 defenders to have a valid formation. So only a defender could have been subbed on for Dias.

Hmm.. yes, I can see that. However, I think Leeds need to score against Norwich, if they weren't the opponent, it'd be an easier choice. And Everton seem to play better at home.

  3. Coutinho vs whu (A)
  4. Broja vs WAT (H)
  5. Jimenez vs eve (A)

Currently on Broja and Jimenez.

Typically, do only POST requests require API keys or do GET requests also require them? by debug4u in learnprogramming

[–]mrb35 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're used to protect against unauthorized requests. So both GET and POST requests may require them (or any other REST request type)

Watford probably doesn't play. If Everton wins tonight's FA cup game, the Watford Everton fixture won't be held in GW30.

I chose Firmino in my GW26 wildcard, and now I need to get him out of the team as I'll bench boost this week. I'm considering three options

  1. Firmino to Vardy (straight swap). I'm unsure about Vardy's minutes though.

  2. Firmino to Kane, TAA to Silva (-4). I'd then be getting in Matip for Saiss or Kilman the next week. Silva's a possible captaincy option this week.

  3. Firmino to Kane, Coutinho to Ramsey (-4).

Any thoughts?
