I had no problem using Plastiq for my county property taxes in July.
Thanks. I guess I will have to contact them. I tried doing a property tax payment first and when that didn't work I tried the MA income tax payment thinking maybe it had to be a government agency or something.
 
They are numbered and 'color-coded' aka you get 2 red and 2 grey. For organization! Because obviously if you have trouble remembering what you put in each cube, sewing a tag that says 1 on it will solve all of your problems! lol. I do get that this would be helpful to some, and some may even make a master list to refer to or something. But... you could just... do that yourself... Anyways, they were pretty much the same size as the slim cubes from Ebags, which currently you can get a 3 pack for $20.29. These ones were 4 for $35 or $40. It's expensive to be organized!
I use blue painters tape and a sharpie to label my packing cubes. VERY high tech! Lol
 


I joined the eBags enabled club! I purchased the $100 GC to use my $20 off via TopCashBack. Then went back through TCB and purchased 3 sets of packing cubes and a new carry-on, applied the $100, DH’s $20 offer and the eBag points I had. Can I say I like using AmEx Express at check-out so that I don’t need to enter all of my information!
I'm debating ordering a mother lode wheeled duffel (the bigger one) because I hate my 10+ year old lands end duffle and we need a new checked bag.
 


Just got off the phone with Barclays. My Arrival+ AF posted a few weeks ago, so I called to see what my options were. I've put about 45k on the card this year, mostly paying contractors this summer through Plastiq. But, no offer to waive the AF. I ended up PCing to the no-fee Arrival instead.
 
I am considering the 11. Is there a reason I shouldn’t? I have been to the store 3 times this year telling myself I was going to upgrade and left without doing it. I am currently on a 4 year old 6. I want a better camera mostly. I have never bought a new release one. I was going to buy the XS after the release but the 11 is cheaper. And I am confused why. Lol
Both an 11 and a XS will feel like a significant upgrade compared to a 6.

The main differences I know of are:

11XS
ScreenLCDOLED
CameraWide + Extra Wide LensWide + Telephoto Lens
ProcessorA13A12
MaterialAluminumStainless Steel

The OLED screen is sharper and has richer color. Both will take very nice photos, but the telephoto lens will give you a better range for subjects farther away. The A13 in the 11 will be faster than the XS. The construction material may be a "moo" point if you cover it with a case. The 11 will also be physically bigger. It sits in size between the 11 (XS) and 11 Pro Max (XS Max).
 
@Judique says she bought an eGC and it credited:

I always buy physical to avoid doubt over things like third-party processors. If buying an eGC redirects you to a site running on Cashstar, I’d personally avoid the risk of it not crediting and order a physical card.

@Alexle2007 - This was my experience, but maybe they were just nice because it was right before Xmas. As you can see it went through Cashstar, and then my credit appeared 2 days later.

:offtopic: I know there was a lot of discussion about ad blockers this past week and YouTube vlogs two weeks ago. I think my favorite feature (besides not getting redirected to websites with viruses) about my new ad blocker is that it completely removes all YouTube ads 😍 No more suffering through dumb commercials and having to press skip.
 
I got an itchy trigger finger... instant approval for AMEX gold. Got the card number. Going to see if they will expedite
I love mine and use it way too much. I managed to get in last year about a week before they ended the first year free. Told my wife about the annual fee due to hit next month, her response was, "We get enough benefits to keep it." Yeah we do, the SUB paid for our Disney flights.

What are you using?
 
All this ebags talk...
I need a good travel blanket. I am cold all the time. It can be 100 degrees out and I'm under a blanket with a jacket on. I currently travel with 2 jackets and on the last trip I even borrowed DD2's. I'd love something warm, but easily packs down small so I can just shove it in my bag. I'm not sure it exists. It would be used for car travel, plane travel and in the hotel room where I often sleep in my jacket after too many frozen nights.

I’m at Dave and Busters and thought of you!

For only 1100 tickets you can have a pillow that turns into a blanket!

I’m joking but honestly there is a DCL version that looks super similar.
