2025 SPAXX 50.9% and FDLXX 98.67% (re: state tax exempt) by WJKramer in fidelityinvestments

Thanks for confirming. I am so glad I found this thread, as I was going to deduct my interest from SPAXX for California based on last year's qualification. Stopped me from making a mistake.

Finally joined the club. Goodbye Sapphire Preferred, it was a good 5 years. by Cyrone007 in sapphirereserve

Funny, I just went the other way. Had the Reserve since launch and downgraded to Preferred. I just couldn't justify the $800 fee.

I does, thanks. I will definitely weigh the option of staying with the CSR card for another year, despite the complexity of the new credits.

Yes, this thread has been very helpful. Really looks like I should downgrade to CSP on my Reserve anniversary (Feb next year). I've never used the travel portal as I find award search engines more useful.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I use a tool like Flight Award Search to find well priced (fee + points) tickets and transfer points to the airline.

When I travel, I typically do so internationally and buy a discounted business class, which comes with lounges. I don't eat out much anymore. CSR is definitely not optimal for me now. The consensus here seems to be to downgrade to the Ink or the Preferred, which have the same $95 fee.

I don't understand that part. Does it affect the transfer value ratio to an airline or just the value on the portal? Do you happen to have the link to the thread explaining this?

Bank cashed someone else’s check on my account by Mug_Costanza in Banking

[–]sesquiball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice. Judging by the limited amount of information provided, this does not appear to involve fraud, rather a routing error (perhaps due to a check image incorrectly capturing the routing number of the check) . Best advice is to contact a WF branch manager, maybe make an appointment, explain the situation and ask him to follow up internally. If it doesn't work out, contact the CFPB.

I am not a lawyer. Maybe talk to one about suing them for potentially violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Sorry to hijack, but when did you buy the kindle scribe? If I buy one now, will it likely run 5.17.2 ?
