ah okay. I also read recently that Chase (one of the banks I use), reports to the 3 credit bureaus within a few days after you pay towards a balance. So Chase users don’t really have to worry about this issue, unless i guess if they try to apply for something in between the statement date and the few days before the…

some companies will close your account if you dont use it for a while :( like maybe a year or more.

I can go buy a car with cash AND I have credit cards :) bc I don’t treat my CC like a loan.

It sounds like they ding you bc of the credit utilization. If that’s the case, you can call your CC company and ask them when they report your utilization. To my understanding, issuers report once a month and it is sometimes right before your due date, so the report doesn’t see that you also pay it off. If you pay off…

Credit utilization is usually only reported once a month (i’ve heard some do last business day of the month, others a few days before your CC payment due date), and you can ask your credit card issuer when they report. That way, you can still spend as much as you want on your CCs and then just pay most of it off…

I’m all for the full-body workouts right now. Thanks for the tip

I hate looking at the “Calories Burned” part of the screen on the treadmill. It’s kind of deflating. I’m usually running fairly fast too but my endurance isn’t up enough yet.

At first I was kind of annoyed that they would remove the jack, but after I thought about it, I realized I actually never use headphones so I really wouldn’t be missing out on much.

Resource gathering isn’t nearly as bad as i was expecting after reading early reviews. Resources are fairly easy to find and can also be available at trading posts or on the trade network. Honestly I havent really been bogged down by it that much. It might take a little bit of time to learn where and how to find…

haha yeah it does feel like that. Word of mouth is pretty important and I like that the game brings together a community that is pretty inclusive about sharing where their favorite spots are located

After missing out on many pokemon that never popped up even after I got them to the top of the tracker, I have a hard time saying it works. Maybe they had already despawned and my list hadn’t refreshed, but the tracker was practically worthless for me. It was a shot in the dark that only worked if i was lucky.…

Cheerwine is usually carried in World Market stores from what i’ve noticed. Used to buy it from there when I was in Colorado.

super late response here but considering that the Nearby feature is a giant tease and practically broken, there isnt really a high bar set for “fun”. So actually being able to find pokemon I wanted was automatically more fun for me.

I really tried not using apps bc i wanted to “play the game as intended”, but the game is broken af and it isnt fun anymore so :P

Yes it is so much fun having a broken radar and not being able to find the pokemon i want unless i just get super lucky :))))

I love using Mint. Automatic updates from all of my accounts every time I log-on (I check daily, usually).
