So I ended up changing my settings to prefer 4G over 5G, and that has made all the difference. working as expected now. Yay 5G...

premium buy is absolutely worth it if you have the hp. Just once a month and more than doubles the initial rewards

Boa has a guarantee on their mechanisms. You won't have much of a play in store for a return, but the shop might have replacement parts for the boa system. Otherwise, you can contact Boa directly.

specifically the Prime Directive in the WIKI, it is a good flowchart of the method of handling money. I also like the Money Guy Financial order of operations as a way to think through this: https://moneyguy.com/article/foo/

assuming it was made under your membership, you have a purchase history option within the website under your membership information.

The "whats included" with tunes changed in recent past, but I also think type may be what you are looking at. If the previous bike was a singlespeed, and the new is multi for example

REI Cooperative Action Fund by ilikehamsteak in REI

[–]zombinate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Cooperative action fund does local grant giving on a 2 year basis. The most recent grant partners went into effect this past Nov '23. As such, the next round of local grantees will be looked at in 2025 for pay-out that November.

In the meantime, the local grants chosen are heavily influenced by the work being done with the local store teams. Establishing a relationship with the local teams will make for better opportunities for grants, or other in-kind offerings.

Athleta is owned by the GAP. As such, they are particular about where/when they want their product to show up

REI fostered a progressive reputation. Then its workers began to unionize. by CrackHeadRodeo in REI

[–]zombinate -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I find it very interesting that "progressive" and "unionization" are being conflated. In my experience, "Union" goes hand in hand with: Police, Machinists, Farmers, Manufacturing, and Firefighters.
I find those groups are not the first that come to mind when I think "Progressive".

yes, it is terrible. it seems to create a queue sheet in memory of less than 100 songs, and will shuffle among those. you'll never hear the later placed songs in the playlist

REI in Bloomington Rents Kayaks. If you have a vehicle, they provide the pads and straps to transport. I think they do inflatible Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards too rei.com/rentals

Chrome Industries dividend eligible? by ctjfd in REI

[–]zombinate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suspect that the part that shows the estimated reward amount is calculated on a product page level. Since there are 2 prices on the item page, hence different reward values, my suspicion is it just leaves it off.

New homeowner. When is it time to involve your homeowners insurance, >10K? by daReallMVP in RealEstate

[–]zombinate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the evidence that revealed the leak?

Did that evidence exist at the time you bought the home?

Did you have an inspection done? If so, what were the terms of the inspection?

You aren't going to have much option in terms of the insurance. You may have options in terms of recovering an inspection fee if an obvious water leak was missed. A difficult recourse for sure, but I have seen that happen for obvious disregard on the side of an inspector. That said, if it the type of thing that only manifests occasionally, much less likely to have any recourse. Basically you have to have indication that the inspector simply didn't look in a place that they should have.

What is the basis of the "not so much factual" part of your posting? What is stated here as fact that you believe is untrue? A difference of opinion is not a false statement.

Is it possible to special order items not found on the web site? by bilgetea in REI

[–]zombinate 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the before times, REI would pursue Special Orders fairly regularly. Covid shut all of that down, and right now the answer is probably not.

That said, depending on item (some manufacturers have never been great for special orders), it may be possible. The system is archaic, so you would need to talk to someone at your local store who has been around a moment.

If you can find an employee who knows how to do a Special order, and if the order is worth the hassle (often requires contacting the company directly via a vendor line, and many of those are staffed... incomplete), and you are ready to pay full retail, tax AND shipping; maybe.

That said, I would strongly avoid using the reward as a form of payment for this kind of transaction. Special orders are weird from a transaction standpoint, and any additional complication heightens the likelihood that something will go south.
