Partially...I don't do deposits at machines and I never make a purchase with a debit card. Actually, it would be impossible to do so with the one from my primary bank- it isn't on the Visa or MasterCard network. It literally is like the old Pulse cards from the late 70's where you can ONLY use it in an ATM. I think I know where it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you mean and I had to think for a minute what my debit card passcode was since I rarely use it. However, I did have two checks in small amounts that I chose to deposit in my Alliant checking account. There are no walk in branches where I live and the nearest one is over 100 miles north of me. All my monthly large deposit are on auto deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP80 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Discover is back with balance transfers, and the surprise is back. It came to a complete halt at the height of the pandemic. Gosh, almost $2,000 for the transfer service. The transfer fee is pretty steep. Edited December 3, 2022 by MP80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discover appears to be aggressively pushing lending. Over the past few months, I've been offered $35,000 to $300,000 in HELOCs and home loans, which is pretty generous. But there is no increase on my credit card. The deal-plus side depends on the FICO 8 score, your FICO 8 score must have higher than mine by at least 20 points or so, and you got the better credit terms than me.

MP80 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 So, Wells Fargo sent another Reflect Card application. Just two weeks ago, the app was approved, what happened there? The pre-approved offer from Comenity Capital Bank (Bread Cashback American Express Credit Card) was a surprise, never got anything from their marketing department, offering it for the first time. I used to get a Pre-Qual from Synchrony Bank, mostly to promote the gas card app, haven't seen their app since last year. Not many successful businesses have had a co-branded name model since the Costco warehouse affiliated with Amex, I'm going to pass this one especially since it's managed by Comenity Capital Bank, a notorious credit card closing bank despite no wrongdoing by the customer themselves.

Just heard back ... less than 60 seconds on the phone and it was voided. My skepticism in the efficiency of bureaucracy has just been culled back by a huge notch!

brainchasm Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Today I got two, TWO, identical promissory notes from NFCU for signature. All because they couldn't figure out how to adjust the rate on the online one, so now we're dealing with paper.

Fine for in-town, of course, but still. I'm very much an in-town kind of driver. I don't really travel, and when I do, it's serious destinations, not anywhere I can drive to anyway. I think the lower speed charging is part of what kept the vehicle less expensive, but I won't swear to it. But getting a 240V plug professionally installed in my garage for free is pretty keen, and then I can pick up a Grizzl-e pluggable L2 charger, crank it up to 40A, and completely refill my car after a day's worth of driving in an hour or two! Hell, at that rate, I can completely fill the battery from dead in less time than it takes me to sleep. But yeah anyway, so far so good! [ETA] I think you specifically mean DCFC is slow, because 7.2-11kw/h AC charging is pretty normal. But yeah, no 150-350kw/h DCFC for me.
