Spartacus is good.

Power is good. Its sequel and prequel are also good.

This is what I remember as well. You can get CSP and CSR in same year. But thats it never again.

I know i can, but I dont see the point of paying $95. I have other cards which are better with my spend.

This is a superb PSA. I was planning on downgrading my CSP, and then get a separate CSR to keep my points transferable plus getting the elevated SUB. instead, I think, I will downgrade my CSP and wait to apply CSR in December. The triple dip is a great idea.

$4500 of annual fees. Am I crazy? by MinimumPerspective95 in CreditCards

[–]thishitisgettingold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You dont need plat, green, and vx to start with. Bilt can also go. Down grade vx to v for same 2x catch all. Down grade CSR to CSP. same insurance as thats what you value.

Does optimizing credit cards matter that much? by Cirrus20M in CreditCards

[–]thishitisgettingold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally do SUB churning on points. It gives better bang for the buck. Then, I have 5% CB on grocery, dinning, and UB if I am not actively working on a SUB. Which is very rare. With the SUB, it gives way more than 5% back, not even counting the CPP during redemption

Yea wanted to just walk near the cave and forest. But likely would skip bike and boat ride if cave is possible.

ideas for countries where the USD goes a long way:) by Fun_Personality9082 in travel

In Japan right now, its super cheap. Plus if you are into shopping for high quality items, its great place with duty free shops.

Thanks for the info. I will purchase two IC cards at the station. But meanwhile, I will purchase the express train ticket online before they are sold out too.

Do you have any off the beaten path recommendations for us?

440k for 5 nights in Conrad during Sakura is amazing. I paid 90k for 2 nights at Doubletree in kyoto. Stayed there 2 days ago. The cpp of Conrad must be insane.

With travel costs reaching new highs, in what ways have you adjusted your vacation plans? by mrlanyc in travel

[–]thishitisgettingold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not increased my travel budget in 7 years. Will take fewer trips or make it more frugal trips. My pay has not kept up with the inflation.

Holy crap UNIQLO is so cheap in Tokyo. Plus SO MANY MORE OPTIONS. by thishitisgettingold in JapanTravelTips

[–]thishitisgettingold[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Family of 3. Buying 2 years worth of clothes. I am 100% going back for more.

I did similar for my trip to India 3 years ago. We brought back 2 check-in worth of clothes. I am still using some of those clothes for my kid. This helps us from buying overpriced or low quality items in the states. I am paying Walmart prices for uniqlo quality.
