What's your primary card?

The one you use the most...

Whichever one has a signup bonus I haven't met yet. Really though, I think the Amex TrueEarnings is the best card in my portfolio. 2% on dining (same as CSP), 2% on travel (same as CSP), and 3% on gas (including Costco). Plus, no annual fee with a Costco membership, and even if you don't use the Costco membership, it's only $55, way less than most annual fees. If I could only carry one card, it would probably be this one. But I'm not desparaging the CSP...I do like that it's metal.

What is your trophy card(s)?

I think it's safe to say that we've all coveted one or two cards for some time. Some of us have applied and have been denied. So when we are finally approved there's a sense of having achieved some sort of "trophy." I thought it would be fun to share with our fellow myfico members which of our cards we consider our "trophy cards." Mine are Chase Marriott and Barclays Ring. Which are yours?

What's your Airport Card Country code?

I live in Brazil, and bought my 17" MBP from Canada in June, and my airport Country Code right now is ZW (Zimbabwe). When i'm at college, it jumps to US. And at home, it changes to ZW. This is a problem as in some countries some frequencies are now allowed. I have the 10.6.1 SL.
It's seems that either I have a faulty Airport Card, or Snow Leopard changes the card locale depending which routers are available for connection.
So, I wanted to know if anyone is seeing somethig weird as I am in the Airport Country Code.
Here's what I see in my info. The problem is that I can't use Wireless N in this country code.

Airport/

Hey there. Definitely something up with Snow Leopard, country codes and airport wireless N 5GHz. I have 3 macs and 3 airport routers across the house, which have been working for years without issue wirelessly. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard, my Macbook, and only my Macbook started not being able to connect or see the 5GHz network. My Macbook Pro and Mac Pro have no issues connecting or seeing the 5GHz network. It's not related to weak signal as I've tested the Macbook sitting next to the Airport Extreme. Interestingly there was no problem with 2.4GHz.
So I thought it might have been a coincidental breakdown of the 5GHz N antenna on the airport card in the Macbook post Snow Leopard upgrade.
Then I noticed a few posts on the net about Country Codes, Airport and Snow Leopard. This has never been an issue for me before. The Country Code is set at FR on my Macbook which is incorrect. Apparently this is set by Snow Leopard in response to routers available.
As you are aware some channels are not usable in some countries.
So I changed my Airport Extreme channel from Automatic to a fixed channel (36), and instantly the problem has been solved.
So something has changed with Snow Leopard, Country Codes and Airport, which only affects some Macs. Ugh
At least my problem was solved, hope this helps

What's your highest Credit Card limit?

When I applied for the Amex Delta Reserve card, I nearly fell out of my seat when she told me that my CL will be $25,000. Is there a maximum amount that personal revolving cards cannot exceed? What is your highest CL and which card is it? American Express Delta Reserve: $25,000.

Back in 2000 American Express listed on all Revolving Credit Cards $100k max... I would be surprised if they are not higher now... but as stated $25k seems to be the max for many people unless done by Amex... My father was at $25k on Platinum Optima and was declined CLI to $35k, but was able turn around and apply and instantly be approved for $10k or $15k (for get exact amount) on another Revolver... Over the years since 2000 he eventually had 6 total revolving cards with Amex totally $68k and 1 personal charge and 1 business charge (10k max ever charged on personal and $17k on business) of course then the credit crunch... lines drastically CLD. Bank of America is $250kDiscover used to be $50k, I think they are $100k now as someone posted but they also seem to be saying these days that they won't go over $15k without something, not sure what. Nordstrom is $50k but if you want to go above $15k you will most likely need to provide stuff. Citi is $250k i think Capital one is $25 or $30k I believe Neiman Marcus when they use to underwrite themselves they had no limit for "Some Customers" I mean they do sell a Private Plane and people have purchased them on Neiman Marcus card before... now it's with HSBC not sure if they can go million but I would assume Neiman Marcus would not want to loose those customers by selling the credit devision to HSBC. I have heard as high as $28k on Macy's Store but not sure what max limit is, hard to spend 10k in Macy's unless buying furniture or vacation packages I think!

Cash back Card what are your thoughts.

I wanted to get some feedback of what my next reward card should be. I was interested in either a chase freedom or a Discover. I also did some research on the amex blue preferred. I dont like the option of salle mae. I just wanted 1 last good reward card and this will probably be a while before get. I wanted to know which is hard to get. I am thinking the discover card is the hardest.

Between Freedom and Discover, go for Discover. They are much better with CLIs and APR reductions etc vs Chase. The reward categories during the year are less specific than Freedom's (Freedom often does just Lowe's or just Amazon; Discover is less restrictive). You get a free FICO with Discover. They also have a great Discover Deals mall with high percentages off on many websites. Pretty much comparing the two on their own I feel Discover blows Freedom out of the water. Freedom you are pretty unlikely to see much CLI growth with and you will never see an APR reduction.thats good to know thank because generally my overall spending is food, gas and some retail not a lot. once and a while i do a auto repair purchase. I originally wanted a chase freedom but now that i am looking at my spending habits and what i use my card for it might not be a good fit for me and my lifestyle. The only i might consider is the amex blue preferred.The Blue Cash Preferred is a great option if you spend enough to justify the fee. 6% on groceries is pretty difficult to beat. yeIts funny how any card was my goal when i started and i always wanted a chase freedom but i cant keep up with the categories. now im like i only use my card for gas and groceries and back to school auto repairs, and utility bills ! LOL. Thank you for the insight

What if your iphone 4s did not come with a sim card

Better yet, get a micro-SIM, which the 4S uses.
Was this a brand new iPhone? They did not activate it at the store?

It might not be a good idea to use your verizon.net email address as your primary.....

Team,
There is a problem using verizon email as your primary email. If your account is suspended, all email addressed to you is rejected by the verizon servers. This, as a service, is unacceptable. I suggest not using your verizon email as your primary email source since there is a chance that Verizon suspends your account and no email gets to you. I guess sometimes free accounts like gmail, hotmail, and others provide more of a service than those taking your money.
What do you think?
Here is my exchange with a verizon tech support person in a online chat. I will let you know if the emails are retrieved as the tech support person suggests. What do you think?
Chat Subject: FiOS Internet (E-Mail)
Your Question: Team, I opened an issue on 2 September and to date I have not received a reply. The issue number is {edited for privacy}. Until this issue is resolved I cannot receive any email and all emails sent to me are rejected by your servers. This is unsatifactory and I wish it to be resolved asap. thanks.
A Verizon Service Representative will be with you shortly. Thank you. (18:14:30)

Kavita(18:15:30): Thank you for contacting the Verizon FIOS technical chat Support. My name is Kavita and I will assist you regarding the technical concerns. We appreciate your patience in reaching us. May I confirm your FIOS telephone number as 703xxxxxxxx ?
ben breeland(18:15:50): Yes. that is correct.
Kavita(18:16:10): Thank you.
ben breeland(18:16:18): you are welcome.
Kavita(18:16:28): For account security reasons, I need to confirm few things quickly. May I have the name and address on the account?
ben breeland(18:17:05): I typed that in earlier, but I will do it again. You should access to it if you work for Verizon.
ben breeland(18:17:31): xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kavita(18:17:41): In case the chat gets disconnected due to any issue at either end, please re-initiate the chat through the same channel or call our FIOS phone support at 888-553-1555, whichever is convenient.
Kavita(18:17:56): May I have a preferred Email Address where I can send you few troubleshooting steps for future reference?
ben breeland(18:18:45): troubleshooting steps will not resolve this issue, Kavita. Your script is boring me. When do we get to the issue.
ben breelandxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kavita(18:19:35): Thank you.
ben breeland(18:19:50): You are welcome.
Kavita(18:20:45): I went through your issue description, as I understand you have an open ticket and the issue is not yet resolved. , and that?s the reason that you are contacting us, correct?
ben breeland(18:21:34): Yes. That is correct. I have an open issue, {edited for privacy} , opened 2 September for my emal access and I am contacting you to determine the status of the resolution.

Kavita(18:25:47): You are welcome.
Kavita(18:26:02): I truly appreciate your patience.
ben breeland(18:26:58): By the way, did you know that when an account is suspended, all new email is rejected by your servers? So since I opened this issue, all email addressed to my address has been rejected. Is this the policy on all email accounts with your company? If so, why is this the policy?
Kavita(18:28:08): Yes I do see that your account is suspended.
Kavita(18:29:18): Ad regarding the update of the open ticket I see that out technicians are working on it and they will definately get back to by tommorrow morning.
ben breeland(18:29:41): so it will be resolved by tomorrow morning?
ben breeland(18:29:52): Or will I get a call by tomorrow morning?
Kavita(18:30:27): You got it absolutely correct.
ben breeland(18:30:47): what is correct, Kavita. a call? Or resolution?
Kavita(18:32:08): You will get a resolution with a call.
ben breeland(18:32:42): thank you. can you address my question regarding all of the lost email during this period? thank you.
ben breeland(18:33:42): suspended does not mean cancelled. Yet during the suspension all email sent to me was rejected by your servers. This is not a good thing.
Kavita(18:35:43): Alright sir, what I would suggest you is tommorrow morning when you will get a call from the advanced technical support, please do ask thenm about the lost emails because as they were working on the issue, they will be able to answer your question in a better way.
Kavita(18:36:08): Great, I can see your screen now.
ben breeland(18:36:24): Kavita, why do you need to see my screen?
ben breeland(18:37:06): Also, if I am not home - tomorrow is Sunday - will they call until they reach me or leave a message if I am not here? Thanks.
Kavita(18:37:36): I am sorry. I typed by mistake.
Kavita(18:37:51): Yes they can still reach you on sunday,
ben breeland(18:38:03): No problem. And if I am not home, what will they do?
Kavita(18:39:54): They will arrange a call back back and once you reach home you will get the call.
ben breeland(18:40:24): Ok. Thank you very much. I look forward to a resolution sometime tomorrow.

ben breeland(18:42:14): Kavita, I am not so sure Verizon cares about my experience.
Kavita(18:42:49): Verizon believes in permanent resolutions, so we will make sure that you will get the lost emails also.

Kavita(18:47:12): You are welcome.

You don't go into the details as to why the account was suspended ... that background might be helpful since you're asking others for their opinion. In general it sounds like the account was "deleted" at which point all mail is bounced because the address no longer exists -- but Verizon holds the name in reserve for some period of time to prevent someone from re-registering it in case an error was made and for some level of security, I suppose.
Anyhow ... on your commentary about not using an @verizon.net address as your primary address ... I think you will have this with many providers. Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail all do this if you terminate the account (they do have a suspended account due to inactivity feature which operates differently, but pretty much do the same thing for deletions and such. I don't use the @verizon.net account as my primary for a different reason however -- my primary address is provider agnostic. I can move providers (although I'm quite happy with FiOS at the moment) -or- if at some point down the road I have to move out of Verizon territory, my email address will not need to change. I used this little fact to my advantage when I moved from Comcast to Verizon a few years ago -- no one knew I changed providers because my email address didn't change. Now .. I don't use one of the free services for email, I own my own domain name (about $10/year from the likes of GoDaddy) and have my domain hosted on the Google Apps tier (but even without that, GoDaddy will do basic forwarding for you of any email address to whatever mail account you're presently using). Something to think about.

Your credit card does not match your bank's records

your credit card does not match your bank's records. appears at purchase in itunes store.
2 months with no solution on this. Nothing has changed with my bank at all. Yet apple was able to bill the same card for my mobile me acct. so the card does in fact work! I emailed and got what I already knew. see below, then my reply.
Dear Eric,
You can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.
To update your billing address or credit card number, follow these steps:
1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Eric, installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Click this link: http://phobos.apple.com/accountSummary
iTunes will automatically launch and the sign-in dialog will appear.
3) If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button.
4) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information
Make the necessary changes. Your billing address should be exactly the same as the address on your credit card statement and with the United States Postal Service (click "Find a ZIP Code" at http://www.usps.com and follow the onscreen instructions). This is important, because even differences in punctuation, abbreviation, and capitalization can cause payment errors that might prevent you from using the iTunes Store.
5) When all of the information is up to date, click Done.
When you update your billing information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement. This is not an actual charge; it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions.
Authorization requests are automatically removed from your account by your financial institution. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you have any questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, please contact their customer-service department.
Thank you for your time. If you have any other questions or concerns, regarding your iTunes Store account, Eric, please feel free to reply to this email. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Timothy

My reply
I've read the support pages through and through and have gone through all of these steps in the past. Nothing on my end has changed. This card has been used for approx three years now, never to have been edited. As stated... In the midst of all of this difficulty, you were able to bill the same card for my mobile me subscription. Which should technically not gone through due to the supposed billing info not matching my bank's records! So quite simply, my card does work, this is something on your end, not my bank.
And I did however change the type case to match my statement to no avail. This never made a difference in the past, but I tried it regardless.
After attempting things for two months, I am growing tired of trying to spend my money on Apple. I will try one more suggestion if one is available. After that, I have had great success with the amazon store and may have to flip over to them. My time is way too valuable to be troubleshooting a problem I did not create.
any specific help would be appreciated (please do not copy and paste tips from the support pages... been there)
Eric

As a follow up to my last post, I thought I would offer you my customer service experience as I am hoping you can avoiding going through what I've been through and that this will save you some time.
I'm listing the discourse chronologically for your convenience:
Specific request: My credit card or billing information is not accepted
Details:
iTunes says my credit card information does not match my bank information and will not let me make purchases. I have updated my account information and I still cannot make purchases. I get the same message that my card does not match my bank's information- which it does.
Please help.

Dear ----------,
Welcome to Apple iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Snehashish.
I am sorry to hear that you haven't been able to make purchases on the iTunes Store with your credit card. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
-----------, upon checking your account I find your credit card will be expired after this month. So you have to change it then. I suggest you to change it now or contact your credit card company as it is declined by iTunes.
The iTunes Store has been unable to verify an authorization from your credit card company. There are several possible reasons for this:
- Your credit card company's servers may have been busy. Trying again later may resolve the issue.
- Your card may not have been activated yet. If so, you will need to activate it.
- You may need to call your credit card company before the authorization is approved.
- You may need to ensure that you correctly located the credit card's security code. To see instructions for locating the security code, choose View My Account from the iTunes Store menu, sign in to your account, click Edit Payment Information, and then click the "What is this?" link next to the Security Code field.
- Your billing name or address does not match the address listed on your credit card statement. Any discrepancy in punctuation, abbreviation, or capitalization can cause errors, which might prevent you from purchasing from the iTunes Store. If you moved, or if your zip code changed recently, ask your credit card company to make sure its records are up to date and match exactly what you are entering as your billing information.
--------, please follow these steps to confirm or update your account information:
1) Go to the My Apple ID site at:
http://appleid.apple.com/
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the left column.
6) Confirm or edit your information.
7) Click "Phone Numbers" on the left. Make sure the area codes and phone numbers are entered correctly in their respective fields.
8) Click Save Changes.
Once your information is updated, try placing an order on the iTunes Store again. If the iTunes Store still cannot obtain an authorization for your card, it means that your billing information is still incorrect, either with your credit card company or with its verification system, which may be handled by another company.
Fortunately, you may be able to make iTunes Store purchases with another payment method. For example, if PayPal accepts your credit card, you can use your PayPal account to buy from the iTunes Store. If you need more information about using PayPal on the iTunes Store, please let me know.
------, I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your interest; I am pleased that you want to be an iTunes Store customer. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Snehashish

Follow-Up: 1----------------
Hello again,
I wanted to send a quick note to see if you are still experiencing any difficulties with the iTunes Store. Resolving your issue is important to me, so please don't hesitate to reply if you need any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Snehashish
iTunes Store Customer Support
Greetings Snehashish,
When I wrote my original ticket it was to address the issue of the fact I had already updated my credit card information and I was still receiving the error message of "my credit card not matching my bank information" in iTunes. Giving me instructions on how to update my account information was not helpful because I had already taken that step. So, no, my problem remains unresolved and I am unable to make any purchases in iTunes or update my iPhone.
Luckily, the item I was looking to purchase was available on Amazon digitally so I went ahead and bought it there without any problem whatsoever with my credit card- furthering the mystery and the enigma that is iTunes rejection of my credit card.
Please send the next step to resolve my issue or please forward my ticket to someone who can resolve this for me.
Thank you,

Hello again Snehashish,
My address is confirmed and matches my bank account. I followed the steps as you directed with deleting my information downloading the free application and then re-entering my payment information. I continue get the error message that my credit card information does not match my bank's records. I have as of today called the bank and confirmed twice that my banking address is correct. The error is not happening on the banking side of the equation.
Please send the next step to resolve my issue or please forward my ticket to someone who can resolve this for me.
Thank you very much,
Dear -------,

--------, you can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.
To update your billing address or credit card number, follow these steps:
1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Click this link: <link to launch itunes>
iTunes will automatically launch and the sign-in dialog will appear.
3) If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button.
4) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information
Make the necessary changes. Your billing address should be exactly the same as the address on your credit card statement and with the United States Postal Service (click "Find a ZIP Code" at http://www.usps.com and follow the onscreen instructions). This is important, because even differences in punctuation, abbreviation, and capitalization can cause payment errors that might prevent you from using the iTunes Store.
5) When all of the information is up to date, click Done.
When you update your billing information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement. This is not an actual charge; it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions.
Authorization requests are automatically removed from your account by your financial institution. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you have any questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, please contact their customer-service department.
---------, if you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me again. Have a nice day!
Despite already having the current version of iTunes, I re-downloaded the program and installed it on my computer. I logged into the link you sent me. I entered in my banking (again and without mistake) information exactly as it is on my billing information. I have now entered my credit card information correctly on iTunes repeatedly- it has not deviated nor changed and there has never been a mistake in my data entry. I have used this credit card at other locations and online stores without error and my banking and credit card information is correct.
I entered a credit card I DO NOT want to use in conjunction with my iTunes account and it was accepted without incident or error message. The problem is that the card I do want to use, that I NEED to use to make purchases on iTunes is not accepted. Both cards are issued through the same bank- one is debit and one is credit and they both link to the same bank account with the same home address. The debit card is being rejected and the credit card is accepted. My problem is not my address nor the account number as both have been entered correctly multiple times. iTunes is rejecting my particular card even though it is working and matches my bank information. This is the card I have always used to make purchases on iTunes and this error started when my old card expired and I attempted to update my account.
Every time I re-enter my credit card and try to make a purchase and I always get the following message:
"There are errors or omissions in the information. Please correct the indicated items: Your credit card does not match your bank's records. Please enter a US credit card and a matching billing address."
I have reset, re-downloaded, and re-entered everything on my end multiple times resulting in the same error from iTunes. I want to know what is happening with my account. If you do not have a solution then please escalate this ticket and please put me in contact with someone who can help me.
Thank you for your time,
I found my solution in the Apple Support Community. It had nothing to do with my information being incorrect. I do not require your assistance any longer.
My issue resolution was actual very simple and came from this page. iTunes has a bug where it will not accept your information but if you add your credit card under you account in the Apple Store and CONFIRM then it will appear in your iTunes account automatically. I could have saved hours of email, calls to the bank and stupid angst if I had looked this up instead of TRYING to use Apple Customer Support. I've learned my lesson. I just want you to know that iTunes is bugged and broken in this respect and no matter how many times you enter your information IT DOESN'T WORK. I hope this helps someone else.
Apple please tell your customer support people how to actually help instead of having them paste in worthless form letters on how to use a credit card with iTunes. Obviously it iTunes that is broken.
PLEASE FIX.

What are your impressions of "multi-tasking"?

If you have iOS4 and a capable device, you should have multi-tasking and opened apps appearing in the task bar. Newer app versions are able to run in the background. In my opinion, when I close most apps (by pressing the home button), I want them to close completely, not run in the background. Aside from being a privacy issue, apps in the task bar may use battery power or if truly in a suspended mode, they still take up memory or process capability. In order to really shut them down, two additional home button clicks and then two more screen strokes are required. Not very efficient and probably leading to an earlier home button failure. Why not have some kind of screen command (tap or swipe combination?) to simultaneously shut down all apps in the task bar? The bar itself is useless if you have used many apps in the course of a day. To find what you're looking for, you have to scroll through a long parade of icons. It's a lot easier to just tap the icon where you know it is sitting in the nice folder you created. I don't get it. I realize the bar can be used for switching open apps, but this is really not that big of a deal for the vast majority of apps. Furthermore, there should be an option to enable or disable multi-tasking globally as well as for individual apps. Now that would be an improvement.
What are your thoughts?

I havent done any kind of multitasking on my ipod touch, im waiting to upgrade my software to the newer one. However, I couldnt agree more with that of pressing the home button many times to perform basic function to switch apps or enable the multitasking ability. I think palm adapted a better design of software than apple ever did with their IOS 4. Palm's webOS can handle full multitasking--something the iPhone can't do. Palm uses what it calls "a deck of cards model" for managing multitasking: You can view each of your open applications at once, shuffle them any way you choose, and then discard the ones you want to close. All of this is done with intuitive gestures that mimic handling a physical deck of cards. Apps remains live, even when minimized into the card view, so changes can continue to happen in real-time, even if you've moved on to another activity.
I had the time to experience a bit of a palm web os software on an AT&T store and my impression on that software is done more elegantly than apple multitasking home pressing button system.
P.S to NYtroutbum: you should definitely present that idea to apple by its feedback product page. Let's hope it listens.

What type of video card should I upgrade to?

I want to upgrade to Bryce 6.0... it has new features I want, plus, it is designed to fully utilize the dual processors in my G5.
But it requires a 128MB video card with OpenGL capability. My G5 came with (and still has) a 64MB GeForce FX 5200.
1) So what type of video card should I get?
And I'm also concerned about the heat (and, to a lesser degree, the noise from a fan)... I've been checking out the ATI website, and a lot of their video cards require a 300 watt power supply.
2) Have any of you experienced problems with with heat from a video card? My loft is fine this time of year, but it gets a little warm in the summer months, even with the breezes off of Lake Michigan.
Also, are there any other benefit to having a high-end video card?
I am open to all suggestions, criticisms, tips, recommendations and ideas. I have no brand loyalty when it comes to video cards. Just don't try talking me out of upgrading to Bryce 6.0.
Thanks!

If you don't need anyting high-end, check into the ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM. ATI's 800XT is a very popular card for AGP-equipped PM G5s like yours, but more costly.

What's your primary card?
