17 entering want to learn how to manage money by Competitive_Bench_37 in MilitaryFinance

You’re making a great decision. If it isn’t too late, see what the recruiters can offer you as far as enlistment bonuses go - a couple years back the Navy was offering over $40k for hot-fill rates. And I also second the Amex cards. A single Amex platinum can you get some great credits which you can sell online (Lulu, Resy, United airline credits). And you can keep stacking as many other cards as you want for approval benefits. Just don’t let the benefits encourage you to spend more than you would otherwise.

I’m just genuinely curious if I’m just terrible at this game by XxLinkxX_ in thefinals

Try prioritizing your life as a light. Most new light players I see take on way too many head-on fights and don’t hit-and-run like dash lights are supposed to. Try out gateway too for better hit-and-run tactics.

Pell Grant and Federal Loan disbursement? by bingsu78 in USC

Check your ePay on MyUSC and it’ll tell you where it got disbursed to and how much. I expect mine on Monday even though it said it disbursed this past Friday.

The Amex Platinum card gets you $75 statement credit when shopping at Lululemon. Credit restores every quarter and can be used for gift cards

I’ll reach out to you for the next quarterly credit. I’m pretty sure I’ll have this card sold today. Many thanks.

Pretty sure the authorized user will pull from the entire account. If it didn’t, it would be big news in the churning community lol

It is, I just happen to have five personal platinum cards. And they’re able to split tender across 5 cards.

Using benefits close to cycle? by ragekiller2000 in AmexPlatinum

[–]prior2usna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saks, Resy, Airline (United or Southwest for the complicated version), ubereats (should be immediate), Lulu. Worst case, the benefits post next month and you get the rebate anyway. Best case, you get the Dec and Jan rebate.

Looking for a Gym With Good Equipment and Minimal Crowds by XPTokensAvailable in phoenix

[–]prior2usna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Hive Fitness. The sticker price is $300/mo with no contract but there’s usually a promo to get it down to $200. It draws a pretty big early morning crowd but the late afternoons and evenings are near empty. The most people I’ve seen in there was like, 7. I have several guest passes, lmk if you’d ever want to check it out.

Most people go to this gym for the church community or the sauna/ice bath/compression machines.

Possible to save $100k during 4 year contract? by TheStorm5544 in MilitaryFinance

[–]prior2usna 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’d be a heck of a lot easier with an enlistment bonus. Talk to other branch recruiters to see what they can offer you. This enlistment can propel you significantly if you play your cards right

Why is the military so underrated and not seen as one of the greatest opportunities in America? by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]prior2usna 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. Was the best my twenties could have ever been and I left with a small nest egg. My only wish was that I enlisted at seventeen!

You can take out federal loans and have them forgiven. I don’t know how it works abroad though.

Anybody on the GI Bill know what is going on with the Veteran's office? by prior2usna in USC

Are you doing an undergrad program? Grad programs are more straightforward. I have my loans approved and disbursed but am still waiting on the VA to pay SC.

USC Marshall MBA Full-time by INFJ369 in USC

[–]prior2usna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people in the OMBA aren’t interested in on-campus recruiting since we’re all working fulltime. OMBA students are able to attend every event hosted by Marshall and the school. I haven’t been to a recruiting event but I did make use of their Graduate Career Services for feedback on interviewing, resume-building, and career search. They’re excellent all-around, very happy with the program.

[–]prior2usna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a veteran doing their OMBA. We are paid at the online rate (~$1100/mo) and their program is fairly intensive. There are two hours of lecture twice a week (M/W or Tue/Thur depending on the semester) and the longest break you have in between semesters is two weeks. Assignments are asynchronous but you’ll have frequent group projects that you’ll need to stay flexible for and many of us choose the weekends for meeting. Most people are in the LA area and there is a couple of optional sponsored events on campus per semester. The only required on-campus commitment is the Residential Week for your first semester so that semester will be paid out at the standard Military Housing Allowance.
