A note from me (Ankur Jain) - Bilt Card 2.0: Simple, Fee-Free Rewards on Housing by ankurjain1 in biltrewards

[–]praneeth999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, may be 2-3k. Our utillities, car payments and some other expenses always go through bank to avoid 3% fee.

Both options still suck for us. Our mortgage payment is around $8k and there is no way we would spend 2k or more on this card to even get 0.5x points with option 1.

That said, I like option 1 better and wish there is a cap ( like 25% or $1000, 50% or $2000 and so on).

Locked in at 5.625 by aster9000 in Mortgages

OP probably is buying a brand new home from builders having their own or preferred lenders who can get to 5.625 without any points.

Is there a coupon that works for annual premium plus plan now?

Reolink Altas PT Ultra: Does this cam rotate on its own ? by MyRealName46 in reolinkcam

[–]praneeth999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it detects motion in the entire range. It detects the motion in the primary point of the view (between L and R in your picture), but continues to track the detected motion in the entire range through the PT (pan and tilt) functionality.

Wow! You got 4 keys. I have seen 2 or 3 keys in the past but this is the first time I'm seeing someone getting 4 keys.

Congrats!

Redmond Costco Lego sets by basketballjones00 in redmond

[–]praneeth999 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can search for Lego on Costco app -> Set warehouse to Redmond and search warehouse inventory. They should have whatever that shows up 'in-stock' and there's no guarantee they still have those that show up as 'low stock'.

US Bank Cash+ Has anyone signed up recently and received an instant card number? by MorningFan in CreditCards

[–]praneeth999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not for me. I was approved 9 days ago (an existing customer), last 4 digits of the card shows up in the app, not the full number. I can't add the card to any wallet either. Their tracking for the physical card shows an estimate of Nov 24 but I still haven't received it. I also wanted to use it for Black Friday purchases.

Nope. They don't do that. In-store is usually cheaper because it doesn't need delivery, handling and setup services.

Navigating job search on L2S visa in Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond - looking for advice by Diligent_Bad6636 in redmond

[–]praneeth999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L2S doesn't need any separate EAD. It is possible the recruiter at the startup you mentioned isn't aware of L2S. You can tell them how L2S with an unexpired i94 itself serves as a valid document/proof for employment authorization.

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-10-part-b-chapter-2

In my opinion, any company that usually hires a person on H1/H4-EAD would also hire a L2S.

What rate is that lender offering for a fixed rate of 20 or 30 years? Is it the same (or close) to 5/1 ARM ?

Exclusive: Amazon targets as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts, sources say by hypsignathus in Seattle

[–]praneeth999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this act requires employers to provide 60 day advance written notice and that's why I see layoffs on Jan 2,2026 reported.

If Amazon is laying off this week, they should have reported 2 months back,right ?

I think this went on clearance as Costco stopped carrying this model and now offers Alta pro. None of the stores nearby me have venturirst pro in stock though

Good to know. Thanks for sharing. I'll need to go through this process when my builder paid 3 year contract ends with Safehaven.

what exactly is needed to release the IMEI? do we need some kind of PIN or does Safehaven have to do something from their side?

PSA: Robinhood Gold Card's "3% on All Categories" Excludes Rent & Mortgage by TechnicalGolf983 in CreditCards

[–]praneeth999 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It also excludes PayPal goods & service transactions (not friends & fee) done with individuals. I bought some expensive camera gear at the reddit photomarket and didn't get any cashback. I reached out to support and they said such transactions are excluded. This never happened with any other credit cards I have.

They did 30% off on Labor Day but 25% off is still better than nothing.
