Not related to churning (although it will involve a hotel stay... which I am unfortunately paying for out of pocket), but we are traveling by motorcycle to the four corners area tomorrow morning. Related to churning, we both need new front tires so yay for things that help meet MSR!
Also related to churning, I just found out (suppose I should have known) that there is a Graduation Fee before I can get my diploma! (Last class is over on September 4). I guess that's a small yay for things that help meet MSR!
We loved China. Visited Beijing, Wuhan and Guangzhou. One night in HK on the way home, so we only saw it for the hotel windows but views were gorgeous. Pollution in Beijing wasn’t bad when we were there. Loved Forbidden City and toured a hutong, climbed the wall at Badaling which wasn’t too crowded when we were there, mostly Chinese. Would like to see Summer Palace and a few other historic sites. There’s so much I want to see, I’d love to be there for a month Sadly neither my job or wallet will allow it. China is so huge and diverse, to me saying I’d never go back is like someone saying they’d never go back to the US after visiting one city. I felt like our trip was similar to traveling to NYC, Chicago and somewhere in Florida but we missed the whole rest of the country.We were in China during early-mid June. One out of 4 days spent in the Beijing area had bad air pollution. Our first full day the sky was so blue I felt like I was in southern Utah---seriously. The other 2 days seemed just hazy. Shanghai was a bit different because it rained A LOT. And one day the pollution was so bad we couldn't see across to the adjacent building when we were up on an observation floor across the river from the Bund.
No pollution in Xi'an. I would go back to that city in a hot second. Very walkable if you stay inside the walls.
I thought Beijing was fascinating with all the history everywhere. I think it helped that we were touring with a small group lead by friends who grew up in Beijing and who return every year to visit family. We didn't have crowds at the Forbidden City and at the Summer Palace. Tiananmen Square was pretty crowded. We went to a portion of the Wall where Western tourists don't go mainly because it's further out from the city. There were still lots of Chinese tourists!
I like wandering around Shanghai, seeing the combination of little side streets with old buildings and then huge glitzy shops. We had the best Indian food of our lives (so far lol) in Shanghai!
Make sure the check your account close closely. You will have a master account and an account for your card. You may not see your charges if you’re not looking at the right account. It’s bizarre.You guys weren't joking about the Barclay Biz website being a piece a crap. I paid car registrations three days ago and transactions aren't showing up at all. It's a good thing I don't want to keep this card in my wallet. The website would drive me bonkers.
A pet peeve of mine. I mean it’s computerized, write an extra line of code to fix it.Why can the CCs not send the payment reminder emails if you are already have the payment scheduled? If no payment scheduled = send email reminder else send no email. So silly. I don't need a reminder for something I have already done.
Same.To each his own, as is obvious by reading everyone's comments. We LOVED China, but we didn't have the crowds and smog in Beijing and other places. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I accidentally paid my mortgage twice. Had to ask Chase to reverse one of the paymentsYep, I have done that many times. Discover even let me schedule the same payment twice.
Congratulations!!Had a baby last week (our second) and now time to apply for the Plat so this hospital bill can *earn* some points haha
Also I give up catching up so I’ll pay attention again from here.
There’s been a lot of talk at work lately about HSAs and the impact they have when it comes time to start Part A Medicare. It’s apparently a hot topic at the moment and we might have to quickly react to something and implement a very expensive change for very little bang for our buck.
I'm getting an ad for VIP tours at DLR. I've never seen them advertised in a banner ad anywhere and it's clearly a google one. I guess all of our various party talk and the tour talk from earlier this week/last week made it pop up. It's a nice ad with plaid background. They must also think I have more money than I really do
I had no trouble problem spending my "statement credit" at Target today.I've had a negative balance on a closed card. Chase transferred it to one of my other Chase cards when I requested through SM.
Yes two different bikes. Same make and model... different colors. We took my trunk off so I could learn to ride without the extra top weight.Can Am? I can't imagine two motorcycles needing front tires at the same time. Well, reading closer I guess it is two different bikes
