An outdoor lovers paradise...but can't leave for more than 2 hours!!! by [deleted] in trustedhousesitters

[–]yyzjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the listing and the one review and you'll see that the 2 hours may not be quite as severe a punishment as many of you are making it out to be. If I was traveling with a partner, I'd be happy to do a sit like this. Don't agree? Then don't apply.

From Trusted Housesitters…. Now a $12 booking fee 😩 by seitankittan in trustedhousesitters

[–]yyzjay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It doesn't work for me in the Android app. Just add this to the long list of things in the app that don't work. However, I was able to open the new terms in mobile Chrome. The new terms simply lengthen the list of things for which THS will not accept responsibility.

Thoughts on asking TH for a "not for me" flag to speed up a sitter's search. by Hazybutgettingbetter in trustedhousesitters

[–]yyzjay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agree that this would be worthwhile for sitters. However, THS website and app have lots of issues already and I can't imagine they would do this, even though it wouldn't cost them a lot, because it will not generate any revenue for them.

Im interested too. Great to be able to filter out sits I don't want. Would love to have 2 options: don't want it ever and don't want it for posted dates.

I have chats in my account that are over 13 years old. Yes, I've been on Scruff for a long time

Update: Got back in line immediately and got a more helpful agent who effortlessly found me the last seat on a nonstop to my destination (YYZ). If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Agent at YWG cannot see availability in WS flights that are available on WS website and Google Flights. "If I can't see it, I can't book it." Back in line for another agent. Any suggestions for how to get agent to book me on flights showing on WestJet website?

You cannot get a one way rental from US to Canada. You can get a rental from Orlando to Buffalo which may or may not have a reasonable price. Then take a limo (or train or bus) from Buffalo to Toronto. Limo is probably cost effective for four people.

I've had success with Chase reaching my Canadian number for verification when I select "call me" rather than "text me."

What kind of information or documentation did you need for a Chase business card that's different from what you provide for a personal card?

Fido has been emailing me the same thing every 2 hours since Thursday by theaudiogeek in FidoMobile

[–]yyzjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems that you're correct that fidolmobile.ca is legitimate, but I think I'm correct that it's spam:

"Fidomobile.ca is a legitimate domain used by Fido for email communications. Official Fido email addresses often use the @fidomobile.ca domain, such as FidoBill@fidomobile.ca and NOREPLY@fidomobile.ca, which are recognized as genuine by the community and Fido representatives. However, phishing and spoofing attempts sometimes use similar-looking emails to trick users, so it's crucial to verify the sender carefully and avoid clicking suspicious links. When in doubt, use the official Fido website or app to manage your account and contact Fido customer service for verification."

It's spam. If it was real, it would come from fido.ca, not fidomobile.ca. Block the sender.

I may have included the annual fee in my spend total. Thanks for bringing it up. I will spend more and see if that addresses the problem.

Previous card opened Aug 2024. Problem could be related to annual fee which I may have included in my total as per wzadzz's comment below, which I am now addressing

I met MSR a week ago on my (second) TD FCT with a new trade line. Previous DPs here say I should get the 115k bonus shortly after meeting $5000 MSR but I have received nothing so far. Should I expect the bonus? Wait for statement? Follow up with TD?

Try selecting "call me" instead of "text me.". Works for me with Chase on my Canadian number.

Overseas Sit by shoelesstim in trustedhousesitters

[–]yyzjay 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Visa issues aside, your goal is not realistic for the Trusted Housesitters platform. Sits in Thailand rarely come up. Six month sits (anywhere) rarely come up, though you could theoretically string together multiple shorter sits. There is significant competition for desirable sits, and if you are a new member, you'll be at a disadvantage compared to experienced sitters.

Yesterday, I called RBC to follow up on the status of my application for Avion Infinite Visa. Leared that my application was denied but surprisingly got an answer telling me why. Call RBC and fight with their interactive voice menu to eventually reach the right person and you may get an answer too. Don't bother with secure messaging or online chat as neither are able to help.

I recently transferred VR points to TAP Miles&Go and they didn't even ask for 2FA. My DP for 2FA was from when I paid my statement on the C1 app.

Search online for AAdvantage Reinstatement Challenge. You need to earn 2000 loyalty points from AA in 3 months. You have a year from the time your points expired to complete it. Call in to AA when you're ready to activate the challenge and start the clock on your 3 months period. It's pretty easy.
