My aunt passed away last night. Shes been battling lung cancer and heart issues for several years. The cancer had spread and shes been in hospice care since March.

My dad is a piece of work. This is one of his sisters. He called my maternal grandfather... so I woke not only to a few messages about my aunt, but also one from my grandpa that was basically like, your dad called, w t f, we're not friends and I have no interest of being a source of info on you for him like he wants. So I told him about aunt. My grandparents were pretty close with this aunt and her family before, so he called my dad back... cause ya know, a decent person thing would probably be to notify him in this situation. But no, my dad was trying to use it as a way to get to me. Shameful.

I’m very sorry for the loss of your Aunt and also for the drama your Dad so clearly wants to stir up. Hugs to you.

I opened the no-fee card about 3 years ago with a referral and got the $200 (gift card then). Closed the card probably a year ago or more. This was a mailer with the offer.

No P2 for me. Just me.

Does anyone know if Hyatt is Pepsi or Coke? I know Marriott is Pepsi . Hoping Hyatt is Coke. I have a conference there in 2 weeks and hopefully won't have to scout out a convenience store to get a Coke.

Pretty sure it's pepsi, unless it's changed in the past year or so. Hilton is coke, fyi. Yes, I'm sad I memorize these things.

@amalone1013 Sorry about your aunt and ongoing family drama.

DH's mother called last pm before we were asleep. This means she either wants money or someone died. His eldest cousin died but he didn't seem to upset about it (it's a very large family and I guess they weren't close). I am a horrible person and was just happy we didn't have to send money. Well, this time...☹

An update on my DP. I really wish these things tracked sooner!

Woke up to another ebates email for cash back. This was for $6.60. So I thought it must be for VGC purchases. I should have looked on the first one. My $0.23 cash back was from 8/2 on a pack of pencils DS needed to go back to school. To be honest, I didn't realize I had even linked it on ebates then. The $6.60 was for $330 on VGC on 8/5 ($70 went on CF card since I had 10% offer up to $7 there, rest on CIC). So I did get cash back on my VGC. Not sure if they will claw back, just hope they don't shut me down.

Mine posted as well, although after @Lain's warning I wasn't sure if I should be happy or not! I just signed up last week and we are not big shoppers, so it would probably have taken me years to get $56 back. But still, hope we don't get shut down!

I’m sorry about your aunt and your dad for the way he acted

I tried withdrawing my serve balance into my bank account and it said it’ll be depositing two small amounts first. How long does this take? I haven’t seen anything

 

[amalone1013]

Thanks everyone.

On happier news, last night I did this



One more wall to go, which will be about half the space. I ran out of command strips lol.

Sorry for your loss...and the family drama. @tink1970 I doubt you are a terrible person!!

@Haley R Prayers your niece continues to beat the odds!

Decisions, decisions. Just checked and OKW is available for the last night of our vacation. We currently have Coronado booked as DVC was fully booked.

Getting OKW should allow us to stay in the same room all week but the pool at Coronado looked pretty neat too. OKW would also make it “free” since we have DVC points left.

Rest of the family is still asleep so they can’t weigh in. Darn alarm clock in hotel was set for 6am and woke me up. Luckily DH and DD didn’t hear it before I was able to turn it off.

Edited to add: ended up grabbing OKW and cancelling Coronado. Hopefully less logistics to deal with.

I think you 100% made the right decision! "Free" and no moving around. Win win!!

Looking to get back into bank bonuses. Last one was PNC early this year. Has anyone churned PNC bonuses? It doesn't look like the language states must be new customer, just new checking account. Wondering if anyone has done another one after closing their account.

I'll probably go for Wells Fargo first but was wondering.

That’s the trial deposits to make sure it’s your account. It should take a few business days. When you get them you just sign into serve and confirm the amount then you can transfer all the money out.
