I love credit cards so much! v3.0 (see first page for add'l details)

I was just at Sams and Kroger. Spent $200 at one and $250 at the other. Eeek. Hope it lasts awhile, but don't really feel like i bought all that much. I swear Kroger had no sales. Anyway, I would say maybe 10 people tops in each store with masks. I was one of them. The rest where in pairs or more and just doing their regular lolly gagging shopping. I was on a mission, knew what I wanted and was in and out. Well as fast as you can be in and out spending that much. lol Many older couples, many kids etc.

For me Kroger is where I feel the most vulnerable. I do think they are trying, just not as hard as Publix, Trader Joe's, or Costco.

Interesting article for people that like statistics.

Okay, surely posting a Breitbart article goes against the "no politics" rule, right??

Just glancing, it looks like a legitimate news story. Are they not a legit news outlet?

 

[havaneselover]

I'd recommend reporting it. I'm afraid even this discussion could get political and get this thread shut down.

And don't forget we all can ignore posters.

Seriously, I need you guys to keep me sane.

The source is a problem for me. Breitbart is far, far right and tends to have very biased opinions, some may say racist, propaganda like, or even 'fake news'.

Theres a lot of fake news on both sides but I don’t want to get that. I was looking at mostly the stats.

It’s just hospital stats? Nothing political in it.

Same here. I will delete my response.

I'm saying the discussion of whether or not the site is political will get political. Which may get this thread shut down. It would be great if we could just drop it.

Well, I didn't read it. There were a lot of statistics.

Tried to do the Snopes thing, but I guess I don't know how to use it.

I meant to post this last night, I'm sure this clear puzzle discussed in the mental floss article is right up someone's alley They also link to some puzzle lists for other options.

THIS! We all know what our options for on the boards are, report, ignore a member or just skip past posts if we don't want to read them.

But PLEASE stop discussing it! Not only do we not want this thread to get locked but we don't need a new version potentially locked simply because we couldn't keep this one from getting bad.

 

[ctinct]

Oh. my goodness. It’s so hard to hold my tongue. Let me just say that we need to compare apples to apples, and not apples to oranges, when using statistics.

So to bring this back to credit cards, does anyone think they will extend the global entry process? I used 4 global entry credits on different credit cards and had conditional approval, and was planning on doing enrollment upon arrival from our cancelled Jamaica trip. The only airport scheduling interviews in PA is 4 hours away and 5 months out.

In CC news, DH is now the proud owner of a BBP! As our overall spending has decreased, so has our AmEx so I was glad he didn’t get a pop up.

I didn’t realize the CCs had a time limit/expiration of the GE. I thought it was just once every 4 years.
