CCRs/down payments and MSDs are totally separate concepts, which I know you know, so this logic is a bit puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVig Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Reminds me of a sign I saw in the Bronx years ago. "Retired SEAL. Park here and find out if I have PTSD" I wanted to get a rental car, with full insurance coverage. Park it in his spot, just see how fooked up the car would get.

It probably wasn't necessary especially since the kids moved out and aren't around to abuse the machine. On a laundry appliance I'd pay with one of my Amices that doubles the manufacturer's warranty, and settle for 1 MR/$ instead of 5.25% cash back, but that's about as far as I'd go. Many would suggest that the best way to save money on washing machine repairs over the long-term is to buy a very simple machine with just a couple of knobs. Saves you on the front end also.

Washer load capacity is large though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now just over 900K "lifetime" miles with UA (which unlike AA was not handing out lifetime miles based on card spending or pudding) but given the devaluation of status (at any level but especially a middling level like "gold") I may now never reach MM status as I am now loyal to my flight experience and not an alliance/airline. I wonder how many hours I wasted with connections back when I thought "loyalty" and status meant something.
