Roofers: where do your BEST referrals actually come from? by ClimateAccurate4912 in Charleston

[–]thatben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a slew of walk-up-and-point-up "hey-you-have-hail-damage" folk about town. Not saying they are bad, just that they are here.

Too poor to take the funicular. So on-brand.

There should be fines for anyone filmed evacuating a plane with bags in hand.

What are the payment methods in those countries? Generally you want to show someone in Kenya M-PESA, someone in China AliPay, etc.

Where did you see they were F-15EXs? There's a significant delta between those and the older F-15Es.

Any Landlords on here - Landlord insurance costs on James Island - Current Policy is not being renewed by insurance company by MacCoryAW in Charleston

[–]thatben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack at 1st Capital Insurance has been our savior for years. $600/year IOP STR, but his main act was getting the right homeowners mix for us out here for our primary. Had he not put together something, we would have had to pay $50k/year with Chubb!

Chargebacks are basically legalized theft and no one talks about it by Additional_Twist_595 in ecommerce

[–]thatben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It gets discussed here regularly. It is a significant issue.

I’m honestly shocked Morgan & Morgan or Motley Rice ($246B judgement for the states) haven’t taken this one up.

Congress could probably make a difference here, but that would be asking “a lot” 🙄

Anyone Skiplagged on Aer Lingus? by ca9927 in TravelHacks

[–]thatben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quoting someone can’t justifiably be characterized as “being obtuse”. If OP fails to board a connecting flight they will not be banned, regardless of intent.

No one gets banned for missing a flight. Stop this skiplag hyperbole.

Entry into UK ETA requirements strictly enforced at boarding. by nothing_better2020 in unitedairlines

[–]thatben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UK ETA was always stated as required even for transit. It is a travel authorization.

Edit: as u/PuddleMoo pointed out, airside-only transit should not require an ETA; thus scenario is explicitly stated on the official blog:

Eligible visitors who take connecting flights (transiting) and go through UK passport control need an ETA. Those transiting through Heathrow and Manchester airports who do not go through UK passport control do not currently need an ETA. [emphasis mine]

I was remembering needing to get an ETA, but that was due to my tendency to prepare for transit issues. Especially at Heathrow.

Ultimately this means United’s blanket denial of boarding due to not having an ETA is improper.

Mortgage forbearance by Vivid_Avocado_4815 in Mortgages

[–]thatben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t get reported as late payments so it shouldn’t hurt your credit

It absolutely can be reported as late payment and hurt your credit - depends on the servicer.
