I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

My theory is that how long it takes depends on how complicated the application is. I'm had the same job in the last 10 years, lived in the same house, haven't gone to any "sensitive" countries, etc. The easy ones I think they just crank out quickly. DH changed his name when he became a citizen - so I'm guessing that's what it's hung up on. He's also had 2 jobs in the last 10 years, though I would guess that's less of a factor.
That makes total sense except DHs was approved quickly and mine took forever (like 6 weeks) and we pretty much have the same application. We’ve had the same address and moved the same number of times in the past 30 years, visited the same places. DS was also approved quickly and he was born in another country and traveled here on a foreign passport (except maybe they don’t care since he is 10). It actually seems pretty random.
 
One of the reasons I keep my Costco membership is for basic electronics like vacuums -- if i need one, I just get whatever Costco has and avoid all of the anxiety of researching price vs. quality. I needed a printer last week; went to Costco and got their cheapest version. Same when we upgraded our TV.
I love buying electronics at Costco. Its so easy to return items, even if they fail. I got an HP printer that completely died about 6 months after purchasing it. Costco returned it, no questions asked with the additional ink I had purchased. I got my full money back and bought a different model that was on sale for even less. What other store would allow this?!
 
FYI Norton has a great app for like $1.99 one time cost and works on safari for iPhone.

So just spent almost 2 hours on the phone with BOA for one issue. After that, I told them I’d be moving my DDs and closing my checking and savings. Leaving the CC just for the 10 year history. Moved funds sitting in BOA into Alliant for now.

Anyone wanna throw me your favorite Bank for checking let me know.

In CC news- got my Hilton card! Already researching the next move and just got these in my wallet lol
 
wonky board being wonky. Will try again.

Edited: Well, nm. @elgerber @CyndiLouWho

Just trying to say I also don't understand why she just gets to keep it. ???

I had the same issue on a Coach bag I sold a few years ago..chargeback unauthorized purchase...won the case since I could show it was shipped to a confirmed address but it was not the card holder who purchased it..it was a caregiver for an elderly person...could be the Same/similar situation someone with Access to the credit card and eBay account buys the bag without the cardholder/ebayer knowing
 
I would still check in every few days. It says now that they'll email you when a status changes but it seems hit or miss based on what I've read. (when I did mine you had to check yourself, no email option)
Since it can be tough to get an appointment I wouldn't want to miss the window.



Sounds like a good theory but I'm not sure. For hubby he's been at the same job and address forever, so we only listed one employer and one address. We have done several Caribbean cruises in the last 5 years so I was just joking with him that the Cayman Islands sitting at the top of his visited countries list might be biting him in the behind :laughing: But he's squeaky clean and other than our island adventures he's pretty boring on paper. So I'm a little surprised too. I know they're backed up from the shutdown but I wasn't expecting this for him. They both probably just got stuck in the bad queue.

There goes my theory. Guess I really needed more DPs. More than the 4 I had anyways, lol.
 
Any Costco experts recommend buying a tv from Costco??? We need a large TV for a basement, will probably get a smart tv. We do not have cable tv in the house, only cable wifi.
 
:offtopic: I am on page 1275 and trying to catch up however I keep getting redirected to a "you have won!" page and I get stuck there. It seems to be connected to these boards (but I have been here a lot trying to catch up). Anyone else eexperiencing this? Or is it just me?

My most recent TV purchase was a Sony because I wanted a specific model so I went elsewhere, but if you want a brand Costco sells I would not hesitate to buy it there! I got a Samsung a few years back and it is still going strong.

Costco also gives an extended 2 year warranty with TVs, computers, monitors, etc. If you have the Costco Citi card (or any Citi card) it will double Costco's extended warranty so you are essentially getting a 4-year warranty.

A fix for the pop ups (on an iPhone using Safari) is to go to settings > safari > scroll all the way to the bottom to Advanced > then turn off JavaScript.
It’s worked for me to get rid of the pop-ups from the Dis board.
 
This was talked about a day or 2 ago. I am now using the Opera browser on my IPhone. The pop ups have gone away. Still not sure I like this browser though. I guess I just need to get used to it. When I come directly from my email link it still goes to Safari and I don’t realize it till the pop ups start.
I’ve only been using it for disboards. Anything else and I go back to safari

I still like using Safari as my primary browser in iOS. Safari can now integrate with content blockers so I installed Firefox Focus. You just enable it within the Firefox Focus app and under Safari settings and you never have to look at the second app again. All ads gone with full Safari functionality :)

@afan @*WDW*Groupie* @vanjust14 I received my Vionic sandals today. I ordered the flip flops and the Amber sandal. So far the flip flops are hurting me. The sandals seem good so far. But I have never successfully worn a sandal that doesn't bother me after a while. See previously mentioned soccer injury I talked about today, ughhhh, my left foot swells and anything that goes around ankle hurts after awhile. Though I like that these can be adjusted in several different places so I am optimistic. But wow on the arch, they were not kidding. I am definitely feeling it. Will wear them around the house for awhile.
Same thing happened to me at first, and on my left foot also, which is the the one that was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. I thought it would be immediate relief but it actually hurt worse at first. I was told to break them in gradually at first. Hope everything works out for you!
