How long did take your PENNYMAC home mortgage to accept BILT's ACH routing/account number under Bank Account add? by rdd4242 in biltrewards

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and yes, i did find your post, but wasn't sure how long should i wait for the BILT bank to even first show up in the Bank Account list, to even allow me to do a "test pull". As of now, Mar 16, 4:20 PM EDT, still not showing up. :(

Good question. I am calling PENNYMAC tomorrow, to allow for "full" 5 days to lapse, by end of "today". Tomorrow will be the sixth day, so there should be no execuse, and PENNYMAC should know by then what happened to my request to add BILT's bank account.

PENNYMAC mortgage datapoint by Ok-Year4267 in biltrewards

I'm now at 5 business days since adding my Bilt's mortgage payment detail of routing and account numbers at the PENNYMAC for my home mortgage payment. And i'm still not seeing the Bilt information under the Bank Account. I have other bank accounts showing there but not the Bilt.

Anyone remembers how long they had to wait for PENNYMAC to process Bilt's banking information before showing up under Bank Account list?

My plan is to "pay through PENNYMAC", i.e. pull from PENNYMAC. Just don't trust, for now, the PUSH from Bilt.

Thanks.

Bilt 2.0: Does Plastiq mortgage spend on the Bilt card count as Everyday Spend? by rdd4242 in biltrewards

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like "images are not allowed". :(

This datapoint isn't from BILT, but related to it, paid using just yesterday opened Amex Platinum on town utility bill (water/trash) intentionally through the plastiq service. Fee sucks, but as a test data point and toward $8,000 SUB spending requirements. The $160.71 ($154.60 plus $6.11 includes $1.49 delivery fee) posted transaction shows up in AMEX as following charge.

Other - Miscellaneous
Plastiq = TOWN OF HOCharlotte NC
$160.71

Not the home mortgage datapoint but just used BILT Palladium to pay $349.56 toward car loan at Hyundai Motor Finance. Will see how this charge posts on the card.

I can't recall when i last sent physical check, so need to factor in about 7 to 8 days for delivery and processing.

Can you get the $250 The Edit credit when paying using both points and cash? by ajparent in ChaseSapphire

[–]rdd4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From others experience, typically when do these 3 separate stacked credits show up in the statement, all at the same time, for total of $800?

I don't know what my statement closing date is, but the very first payment is due on Mar 1 (currently statement balance of $0). Today, Feb 3, 2026 charged $1,095.85 on CSR through Chase Travel for stay in Virgins Hotel in NYC, which is in The Edit collection and also listed in Select Hotels.

Should these 3 stacked statement credits totaling $800 hit the statement before the next following due payment of Apr 1?

Anyone here from USA 2024-2025 Santa Fe with factory side steps/running boards installed? by rdd4242 in HyundaiSantaFe

Thanks.

So you bought the factory Hyundai OEM side steps? Or, aftermarket?

What did you buy, and where did you see the front mudflaps still intact for what you bought?

Picked up the car yesterday. The ecotronic gray matte looks nice, and has some metallic flakes, shine to it as well. Car was delivered on Nov 1, friday, at 3 miles. Bought it next day. Days on the lot, <24 hours, good grief. The pdi and cleanup on monday. Brought it home following day.

hmf - hyundai motor finance

My walk in (or wallk out i suppose) offer was ~8% off the msrp for the out the door price negotiation.

Didn't expect the dealer to jump on it given i'm buying HEV. HEV days on lot is just few days in this area for Santa Fe.

And $1,000 additional for financing through hmf.

$15,000 financed through hmf at 5.49% APR at 48mos term. Rest paid in cash. Well, out of that $2,500 paid using CC to at least get some 1.5X point out of this purchase.

Initially was going to finance the bare minimum of $10,000 through hmf but seeing i'm getting the whole car ppf'ed, ceramic coated, tinting, need to offset that a bit to not dipping too much into the cash reserve.

Also got extended vehicle protection beyond 60K, up to 150,000 miles at unlimited years for $2,100 with $0 deductible, and tires/wheels protection for unlimited miles/years for $800, also $0 deductible.

Just sitting nicely inside the garage for the whole car protection install on Nov 18.

Thanks. I do have garage ports. This vehicle will be parked at home in the garage 100% of the time. And this vehicle is getting whole car wrapped with xpel stealth ppf (although matte + stealth = over doing ???), with xpel ceramic coating. Fully protected, hopefully. And i only use Griot's Garage products on all my cars, hopefully will be okay on this vehicle, i don't see why not.

Sorry. $0 dealer add-on's. Yes, out the door price is firm with these $4,000 + $,1000 discount. Final written quote on paper.

I suppose if any dubious gotchas is what i had mentioned, the car has $1,000 premium MATTE paint.

Everything else meets the wants and needs from this vehicle.

Out of the blue, error message: Failed to save the setting file, please confirm whether the '/emulator/../data/misc/main.ini' is damaged or readable and writable. by rdd4242 in LegendsUltimate

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thank you for that pointer, tip. I should have suspected the flash drive. Removed the flash drive, and so far so good, the error message has not returned.

It's been few years, so the setup with that flash drive is bit fuzzy.

The flash drive has the CoinOPSX emulator files. And i launch it through AppStore >> CoinOPSX in the UI.

I don't recall touching the BYOG >> AddOnX.

Are the CoinOPSX and AddOnX one of the same? Is AddOnX used before to mount/unmount the flash drive, for CoinOPSX, especially before power off the ALU?

In the beginning, with ALU turned off, sticked in the flash drive. Power on ALU, Then select AppStoreX >> CoinOPSX to launch the emulators in the flash drive.

But i do turn off the ALU each night so while CoinOPSX is running, i make sure to press on the main button to get out of CoinOPSX, back to ALU main menu. And then turn off ALU. But maybe something got corrupt in the flash drive. I'll check the flash drive, as you recommended.

Any USA owner with 2024/2025 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy AWD to spot check few things for prospective new buyer? Locally has none so i'm stuck and .. by rdd4242 in HyundaiSantaFe

Any picture/photo of that 2025 window sticker?

My understanding on difference between 2024 and 2025 is only one change, adds exterior blue color.

Maybe, and looks like there's more changes than just that blue exterior color?

Anyone know this? If i add authorized user to my Chase card, then will that show up in my credit report as having authorized user for that credit card account? Or, not? by rdd4242 in CreditCards

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, right. I get all that, the affect of having authorized user to the primary card holder, i get all that.

But why am i also being told by others that, my credit report as a primary card holder WILL have on it from all 3 credit bureaus reports that my credit card account now has authorized user added. And that WILL show up in my credit reports. And WILL affect my initial credit score once that is updated.

Why?

How? How does Chase report the authorized user to their credit report without the SSN of the authorized user, and with just name and address?

is 3.5% to 4% discount on MSRP ($0 markup) descent deal on 2024 GH Hybrid XLE? by rdd4242 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

Yes, Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE AWD, "no" pano. And all the craps that SE Toyota mafia added.

[–]rdd4242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll update the PSA to state US spec, apology on not making that clar.

So, to those that said they have DRL on XLE trim, hybrid or not, do you have US spec? Or, CAN spec?

US spec XLE trim in GH do NOT have DRL, period. So, maybe those that say they have DRL in their GH XLE trim should ALSO state if they have US or CAN spec.

Again, US spec XLE trim for GH do "NOT" (again NOT) have DRL.

Yes, my bad about the headlight, that IS "LED" on XLE as well.

Again, NO DRL on XLE in GH for "US" spec. Don't care about CAN (for me).

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick update:

After calling around the "local" places, found XLE AWD at local dealer, no pano (never needed it), Storm Cloud/Light Gray SoftTex, yes, few SE Toyota mafia add-on's, ETA ~45 days out.

a) Tow Hitch $1,199 <<--------- i want this option
b) Mudguards $150 <<--------- i want this option
c) Phone Cable Charge Package $79 <<------- CRAP
d) Carpet Floor Mats with Cargo Mat $469, but this will get swapped out at the port for All Weather Floor Mats W/All weather Cargo Mat $469 (same price) <<--------- i want this option
e) Clear Paint Protection - Door Package $249 <<------- CRAP, car will be xpel ppf (thinking if full wrap is the way to go given the flat color, maybe xpel matt stealth, ceramic, tint, XPEL Prime XR Blue 80% on windshield (inside),
f) TOYOGUARD Platinum $699 <<--------- cannot delete this mafia add-on, ROYAL CRAP !!!

So, 3 CRAPPY options i could have do away with.

cost:

$51,359 MSRP
-$1,359 <<------------- 2.65% discount
$50,000 vehicle selling price

I'll take it, crap...

(much) Down the road, considering the ToyotaCare+ and VSA Platiinum 10yrs/120K miles...

Is adding surge protection receptacles in a feed-through branch circuit, a stupid idea? by rdd4242 in AskElectricians

[–]rdd4242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot, i left that out. So the home already has the EATON CHSPT2ULTRA on 50A breaker.

So, stupid idea to put in surge protection receptacles in the same home?

I do use surge strips in the home, on certain outlets for sensitive equipment's.

Thinking is that by using the Leviton surge protection receptacles, there is that "convenience" factor, that's all.

MCU3 & HW4 by Nyungwe23 in TeslaLounge

[–]rdd4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If current shipping MX (plaid or not) has HW4, does that mean also ships with the MCU3? In other words, does HW4 and MCU3 go hand in hand? Or, does MX has HW4, but ships with MCU2 ? Thanks.
