Need restaurant recommendations for night out with DW.  Already did Fuego, 26, 17, the carrot, foozo, most things on 41st.

We probably have the opportunity to go out 3 times.  I am thinking Backyard BBQ; any other recommendations?

TIA

You're not going to get any advice on this thread other than BYBQ x1000.

It's almost like people are getting paid affiliate money to push it lol

After some additional thought, I believe the idea of trying to have too much income for Medicaid in order to qualify for a QHP APTC is only applicable in states that didn't expand Medicaid, thereby leaving a gap for people who earn too much for Medicaid but too little for the QHP tax credit.

Yes, but this guy IS eligible for Medicaid...

Can anyone tell me if I need to sue MYS in DE or in NY? I'm not from the northeast, and would like to file in my home town if possible, but the amount may be enough to make it worth to fly in and sue... Had items delivered in the same spot on the same day a month ago and one box they won't pay me for, claiming they never got it.

What merchant?

Does the annual fee count towards the required spend for the bonus?
When does the fee post on a new consumer account?

No.
Statement close.

Does anyone have insights on the average compensation one can expect for having an ad car wrap?

Is there such an industry?

i obviously have many cc accounts through a number of different banks and told amex i was closing my accounts partially as a negotiating tactic, especially since my first cc was an amex over 21 years ago and that is a key piece to a credit report. i think once reviewed by a human, customer loyalty came in to play and certain algorithms can be overturned. i will continue to monitor my accounts with them and pay closer attention going forward but for now, i am keeping the green card open it has some very valuable benefits which i might be in need of

You seriously sound like you think Amex is reading this and thinking “Hmm, which customer is this?”..

thanks all for the encouragement and advice
i'm not an expert by any stretch of imagination and in hindsight, better attention and knowledge might have worked more favorably. but i felt that if the right rep got a hold of my complaint, i would get lucky. so, i requested that the upgrade AND downgrade calls be reviewed specifically to listen for the t&c about a time requirement. and in each instance, also reminded the reps about my longevity, tenure with amex, open (and closed) accounts, authorized user on others and overall outstanding relationship with the company. not to mention a shareholder.
i also DID NOT request to re-upgrade and pay the AF
i wrote a nice and detailed letter and now after more than two months, a dedicated MR corporate customer service agent who was assigned to my account, reviewed the entire ordeal, and after following up with me at least once weekly the last few weeks, called me this am to notify me of the outcome.
see image.

Good job. So you're going to stay with Amex in the end?

The word is care, not cear.
Sorry, this has been bothering me a lot.

THAT was the issue?

E Israel is not a land of the dead, it's a land of the living.

This is literally the one thing both Satmar and the Zionists agree on.

Satmar- because of this pasuk, explained by R Yechezkel Shiniever as a source not to shlep the dead to E Israel.

Zionists - Bring me your living and build my land, don't dump me your dead and fill up my cemeteries.

See the gemara near the end of Kesubos.. pretty rough stuff if you're not buried there
