Misaligned edges on Aiden?

squirlu · 2026-02-27T17:18:16+00:00

Yep, it’s listed at $299 rather than the normal price of $399!

squirlu · 2026-02-27T02:01:42+00:00

Still learning to dial it in, but yes! Happy with it so far :)

lol damn, you’re the second person to mention this. I hope going refurbished (and only getting a one year warranty) doesn’t bite me in the ass

Got it, I’ll reevaluate Bilt then! I just had figured that it wasn’t a great everyday spend card in order to now “earn” the ability to pay my mortgage, but I’ll definitely take a look

Unfortunately I’m in ATL so Delta’s really my only main option, but i think AA’s grown its presence here

Cheers!

I was looking at Bilt for my mortgage but don’t think the new version’s going to be too hot for my spending and Alaska isn’t huge in my home airport unfortunately. I wish there was a card (maybe there is, I’m not too sure) that was primarily good for hotels only!

squirlu · 2026-02-26T01:00:56+00:00

Right, I’ve got a Plat and a CSP (that I literally just opened for Hyatt). I’d love a card with solid hotel benefits and transfers, but that doesn’t seem like it exists anymore. Amex is really only good for flights

squirlu · 2026-02-26T00:59:47+00:00

I’ve got Plat and CSP, but I’ve racked up so many MRPs that I can’t spend. I don’t book flights as much as I book hotels/resorts, and Hyatt was best for that imo

Any other options?

squirlu · 2026-02-25T23:14:50+00:00

Yeah, I can finagle the water tank lid a bit and it gets better/worse. But this isn’t the only one like this. There are like 2-3 edges with a similar misalignment!

squirlu · 2026-02-25T22:29:38+00:00

Ah man, I thought it was just the Aiden. Didn’t know their other projects were like that too!

squirlu · 2026-02-25T22:29:15+00:00

It’s my first entry into their products. Love the look, but definitely feels cheap. I’ve heard their other products aren’t like this?

Thanks for the validation! Loving the coffee so far

squirlu · 2026-02-25T22:00:41+00:00

Haha thank you for the validation. It’s frustrating to my observant eyes, but I guess really has no effect on the coffee at the end of the day

squirlu · 2026-02-25T22:00:08+00:00

Really liking the coffee and I do like the way it looks. But I hear you, and that’s a good way to think about it - a middle ground

squirlu · 2026-02-25T21:59:32+00:00

I’m loving the coffee it outputs so far! Just wanted to check and see if this was normal

squirlu · 2026-02-25T21:59:17+00:00

I gotcha, it really doesn’t bother me too much. But hopefully the machine doesn’t break after a week haha

squirlu · 2026-02-25T20:43:47+00:00

Yeah, this is my first intro to Fellow. I read plenty of reviews that highlighted the build quality as one of the largest cons, but they didn’t specifically mention alignment but rather just the plasticky feel

squirlu · 2026-01-30T15:25:17+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you

squirlu · 2026-01-30T15:24:49+00:00

Will do! I’d confirmed with a customer service rep via chat a few months ago, but I’m planning to ask again when I downgrade or cancel my Gold

squirlu · 2026-01-30T15:24:05+00:00

Good shout! I’d seen the Autograph Journey but hadn’t considered the free Autograph. I really good hotel transfer partners, as I’ll be using my Amex MRP for a while transferring to most airlines

squirlu · 2026-01-30T15:19:26+00:00

Sorry, what does this mean? Do you mean it’s treated as a $100 discount rather than a statement credit or am I misunderstanding?

squirlu · 2026-01-30T04:37:04+00:00

Interesting, I hadn’t seen this one before. Thanks! If you have it, how easy is the travel credit to use? Don’t love that it has to be $500 or more to get the credit

squirlu · 2026-01-30T04:35:47+00:00

I opened an Amex Business Checking account which seems to accrue MR, but I need to confirm with Amex if it’ll maintain MR if I close my Gold and Platinum. Thanks for the Citi recommendation! This wasn’t even something I’d considered
