  1. brand new? Then it’s probably not browser cache. You said a new build so I assume it’s a new Windows PC build. Are you running a weird browser?
  2. clear your browser cache. clear your browser cash. I have heard of problems with non-Apple tablet devices.
  3. Please post your reactions in the pinned thread
  4. I doubt I would’ve made the effort to move from 3.5% to 4.75%, even if I did look into it. But it’s like if I’m going through all of the aggravation to open up a new account and then close my current one, I might as well take the best offer I can find. That is not with capital one.
  5. same exact story. Started with the ING account, went to capital one, got shafted with 0.3%. Now I’m in the process of moving out. I wouldn’t have looked into this if they just gave me the 3.5% and now they will be losing all my business because because they gave me incentive to look for something else.
  6. yeah. I’m looking at a bunch of the same ones you mentioned. It really looks like you need three credit cards to cover all your bases if you want to maximize your returns. Like maybe one for gas and groceries, one for restaurants, and one for everything else. the rewards can really be substantial.
  7. not really thinking about long-term investments, just every day money management. I’ve looked at that citizens savings account. I have one now that can be converted into a much better rate at the same bank, it’s just not the absolute best right that’s out there right now. I think I’m leaning towards getting one card for every day purchases at 2% and 1 or 2 more that hits groceries, restaurants, and dining. You can’t really get all three at the same time. The Wells Fargo one looks like it’s the most straightforward but I’ve been waiting to get away for that company for years after all the consumer fraud that occurred a few years ago. Citibank has a 2% card to that fits, but the Wells Fargo one has a $200 introduction offer and why would I not want $200? That’s right. Because I hate these people. Lol
  8. I think you misunderstood the question. I’m really talking about the different products that are out there now and if people are starting to take advantage of them. Capital one 360 performance savings account offers a 3.5% rate. Wells Fargo active cash card gives 2% back on everything, however that companies full of thieves. CIT offer is a 5% six month CD. This could mean real money compared to the 0.1% types of rates we have been getting for 10 years.
  9. With all of the interest rate changes, I’m looking to shuffle some things around. There are savings accounts with interest rates between 3.5 to 5%. You can get a six month CD for 5%. Cashback credit cards can be had with 2% on everything rewards. Has anyone started to take advantage of this? Does anyone have a good card set up?
  10. I finally heard back today and was told I could pass along that everything is fine and they needed to step away to take care of personal items. I am told it is nothing related to the community. No indication when a return might be expected… 👍
  11. Please PM me privately if you have any updates. This seems to be getting off track
  12. not ones that are a month old. People complain about a new topic when the same topic was made an hour ago.
  13. there was no reason to bring up this old post a month later when the subject line isn’t indicative of the news.
  14. is it possible that since you have no idea what you’re talking about you could just stop with this? Holy crap why are you arguing this point for something you literally don’t know.
  15. If anyone has any information, please update.

  18. The 90s were 10 years long. Not 3.
  19. Again, Buffalo aside, you should really revisit the dominance they had in the late 90s spilling over into 00s. MTV is not Buffalo radio. City of Angels is not a Buffalo movie, nor was treasure Island. They were the band that epitomized the late 90s. Coincidentally, they were from Buffalo.
  20. A little bit late to the game. I did not listen to 90s music when it came out, but I listen to a lot of it now. I don’t have the in-depth knowledge of every band from that era, especially the harder stuff. With that said: 1. Pearl Jam. I don’t even think this one is a question. Not only were they influential, but then you add the longevity. 2. Nirvana. With two of their three albums in the 90s, I guess you have to put Nirvana at number two. Nevermind pretty much put the nail in the coffin of every hairband that was still hanging around. 3. STP. I put that number three because I like them. Go pound sand if you think Soundgarden was better. Me don't care. 4. Goo Goo Dolls. I’m going off the reservation with this one. In recognition that the early 90s were vastly different from the late 90s, we should all look back at how ubiquitous GGD was after a boy named goo and dizzy up the girl. By 1999 they were everywhere. MTV, movie soundtracks, guest appearances. Johnny Rzeznik was the voice of pop/rock music for several years there. Maybe they could’ve been considered a 2000 band, but with those two albums being in the 90s I’m going to give them the unconventional nod.
