Did you do the same with bills stamped for Where's George?
I looked it up, and that 'program' started in 98, so I'm not sure if there was much overlap with you. And another guy already talked about how stamping bills like this isn't illegal (not that I disagree with your decision). So I'm just curious how my bills fare when they reach a bank.
If you're at all mechanical or work on cars/bikes or a homeowner, the Knipex Pliers Wrench is an excellent tool. It's a set of leveraged adjustable parallel jaw pliers. So basically you can grab nuts, bolts, or anything with flats with tremendous leverage, and you can do it quickly on a range of sizes. Almost infinitely better than a crescent (adjustable) wrench, fills the spot of a whole set of open-ended box wrenches, and they're excellent German engineering. Come in a range of sizes (bc there's still different uses for big and small). Roughly $50-60 each, but sets are cheaper per. Plus, harbor freight makes a nice dupe of the 10in/250mm for $40 (find a coupon tho).
I was on the fence for a while, but I adore the tool and wish I had it years earlier. For most people, a 7in/180mm and 10in will fill most needs. The hype is real. Lifetime warranty too if you buy from authorized retailer (habor freight is also lifetime eyy)
Relevant quote from article...
“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”
“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.
Downvotes for answering D: I'm not opposed to closing the account. But the museums alone could be costing boa 10-30/month, assuming each admission is paid out close to face value. Surely this helps the community more than a CU, and costs boa more than they could possibly make off me (since I pay no interest, and hold no checking/savings there).
CMV?
I will consider this. Is Amex a better organization than BoA? They both kinda seem like banking behemoths to me. Cust supp is nice, but it's not something I use often.
I agree, I even have a savings account at a local CU. Tbh their dividends on that account have been disappointing. I may look into CDs through the same institution.
Considering I only have a CC through BoA, and I've explained how I believe I'm a net negative for them, how am I contributing to their investments? Perhaps they're selling my data? Or perhaps I'm boosting their numbers by simply having an account? Honest question.
Honest answer? I have one of their CC that gives 3% on all online shopping/purchasing. Plus BoA has a program for all card members to get free entrance on the first weekend of each month to select museums.
Between both of those and paying it off each month, I like to think that I'm actually costing BoA a little bit of money (and getting some money from bank-hands into museum-hands)
I'm in a HCOL area, and all the TBs near me have them for 1.79. Although they were a dollar a month or two ago. They're sizable, and 3 will absolutely fill me up, 2 is usually plenty.
TB usually has a pretty good combo box for less than $10, sometimes closer to $5/6. If you're real picky and want certain things, then sure, get ready to pay $15+. But I personally find that I can't spend more than $8 to get stuffed.
