    This is definitely a new and unique setup. Usually people recommend a trifecta of cards from the same bank, or they recommend the Amex Gold Card for 4x groceries and 4x restaurants, with the Citi Custom Cash Card for 5x gas stations, with the Capital One Venture X for 2x everything else, plus the travel benefits.

    • @realprofessoroak
      @realprofessoroak 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As I mentioned, AMEX doesn't do hard pulls for subsequent applications of the same card class (charge card or credit card), but my first card I got almost 10 years ago now, so they're pretty spread apart. They really haven't had much negative effect, considering I've also had a few mortgages over the last few years doing real estate and those were also hard inquiries.

      Personally I wouldn't go for it considering their rewards points are capped at 1 CPP, and they don't have any transfer partners. Plus the annual fee at $550 makes it as expensive as the CSR, and Chase has by far the more flexible $300 travel credit

      Generally the consensus is AMEX does one hard pull for charge cards, and one for credit cards, and subsequent apps they just use your existing credit history with them to decide on approvals. Unofficially, for your use case there shouldn't be a hard pull

      Awesome, and yeah although it's easier to justify than the Platinum with a basic travel use case with the flexible $300 credit, you would need to get a decent bit of use out of the 50% point redemption and point multipliers for it to really make sense just considering the annual fee

    I got PRK surgery last year. Recovery was painful at first and long, but it is so so worth it. I have been recommending everyone with glasses to get the surgery. I love that I don't have to worry about wearing glasses for everything, especially first thing in the morning. It is painful only when they put that clamp on your eyeball for surgery. After surgery, small particles of old removed cornea stayed in the eyes and it was very very painful to close or open the eyes. It got better in few days and then it was only kept getting better. Vision doesn't get perfect right away, it take months for it to be near perfect. However, i didn't need glasses or anything right after the surgery. Now, i can't even properly remember what it was like living with glasses, only thing i remember now is feeling bad and unable to do a lot of things properly. I 110% recommend getting this done if you can't see clearly without glasses. I used to even have trouble seeing faces of person standing right infront of me when talking, without glasses and my eyesight wasn't even as bad as many other people i know, only 3.5 or so.

    I am glad you recovered. I had surface ablation surgery (mostly the same as LASIK) done to my eyes 1 year ago to correct myopia. I had about -6.5 in each eye before surgery and wore thick glasses all my life. I recovered in 45-50 days. I no longer have that stinging sensation I had for the first 6 months whenever I would blink my eyes tightly. I got it done especially because I was joining martial arts but also because I wanted to look better. Best decision ever.

    I had photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital in Ft. Campbell, KY on Dec 6, 2006. They told me PRK “has fewer complications but more discomfort than LASIK.” They told me before they started that I would feel a LITTLE pressure. It is weird to describe. There was no pain but I felt like the pressure would make my eyes would burst. It felt like my eyeballs had been pulled out with the nerves left intact and elephants were trampling them (but again, no pain). Then the laser did its thing and it smelled bad but when they poured water in my eyes afterward, it was the clearest I've ever seen. Any itching, I'd take eye drops. They gave me Percocet for the next four days but I took half the dose they said for two days and then stopped. I just used more eye drops. I learned quickly that when it started itching, if I didn't hydrate my eyes, it would be painful in 10-15 minutes so the only pain was right when I woke up There wasn't much pain afterward except from itching and eye drops took care of that. I had a sunglasses-as-needed-for-comfort-for-six-months profile, which irked my platoon sergeant so much. 15/10 would recommend. I wore glasses from when I was four years old until I was almost 23. Now I'm 41 and my vision isn't quite as good as it was a year after the surgery but it's still so much better than it was before the surgery
