- New rideshare app Sitbaq gets rolling in Bay Area as Uber HQ scrambles by EZ Journeys. The think about Uber is that they need to stay ahead of the curve, otherwise copycay apps will come along and take over market share and do so quickly.
- Yes, you can use your Fairmont dining certificates without a stay by Miles Per Day.
- Wells Fargo banks on new ad campaign to regain customer trust by Reuters. Look Wells Fargo you can regain my trust by giving me a 100,000 point offer.
- Uber Support Advises Drivers to Ask Your Destination; Uber’s Rules Say Otherwise by Angelina Travels. I think the point about having a max ride distance for drivers (due to other commitments) should be possible. I thought this was actually an option for them (and to only accept fares going in their general direction, e.g if they want to go home). If it’s not, it definitely should be.
I used my mom’s Fairmont dining certs without her being present. This is in addition to using mine and DH’s. Took $150 USD off the bill. May vary by hotel.
Am I the only one who constantly reads Sitbaq as Shitbag? Seems like some bad branding to me.
yup. they obviously were not thinking. one mess up and social media will be ALL OVER THIS calling them shitbags. “yo, you ordered a shitbag?” haha. i can see it now.
also, why another on-demand ride service in SF? give me a break. regardless of what you think about uber, we need better ideas to change the world. like turning piss into potable water or turn the massive sea water into useful water. CA and NYC is surrounded by it. cmon. looks like im gonna have to do this myself…
“Look Wells Fargo you can regain my trust by giving me a 100,000 point offer.”
If they’d only approve me for the Propel World they’d have my trust! (See, Wells Fargo? I’m cheap! Comparatively.)
How come they won’t approve you?
Oh man, the list they sent me was a mile long…you name it, it was on there. In order: too many inquiries in 12 mos, too many new accounts in 12 mos, 1-2 other reasons I’ve forgotten, and balances too high (under 15% utilization, though). I’ll be trying again soon, though 😀
You have a checking account with them right?
Does it make that big of a difference? I feel like I have seen lots of DP’s for Propel denial based on too many inquiries, even with a checking account.
Was more just out of interest, having a deposit account with Wells Fargo 100% helps tho.
Yes, but only since early December. Planning to put some MOs in to show some account activity / spread out my deposits and then try again 🙂
Your first point proves why the valuations are ridiculous and mostly supported by the federal reserve’s pump and pump scheme.
