  1. You can schedule an unfreeze when you set a freeze.
  2. Freezing/unfreezing credit is so easy now I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it.
  3. You’re also older than USA USA which was invented in Lake Placid in 1980. And Beat LA which was invented in Boston during the epic Celtics vs Lakers battles of the 80’s.
  4. Yeah unless you've engaged in questionable activities with your bank in the past (not judging), they should refund your money with just a modicum of effort on your part. Further, Citi would also refund any late fees and interest charges, again, unless you have a habit of questionable activity. I don't see the authorities, or even the bank doing anything beyond that, maybe if your cc payment is in the high five figures. Couple years back, my wife's (no pics) business account had a check stolen that had been sent out USPS. The image of the check showed that it had clearly been tampered with, the payee was practically written in olde english. Wells Fargo refunded in a couple days upon being presented with the check image. But that's it. And, the check had been deposited into a Wells Fargo account! I forget the amount, less than $5k but more than $1k. So I guess Wells figures it's cheaper to just let it go rather than investigate it.
  5. Oh yeah, after I got conditional approval and scheduled my interview, I got an email from CBP saying 'hey why don't you do Enrollment on Arrival instead?' Since I don't have any trips scheduled, I didn't think much of it. Plus it seems like a tarp! when you get back, oh no sir, sorry, you can't do that here, you have to do it somewhere else 1000 miles away and only between the hours of 1000a and 1005a.
  6. As I said upthread, i was lucky enough to get GE in about 10 days total, but given all the info in this thread, that would have to be the exception, not the rule. You could give the normal process a try, and as long as you have a cc that will cover the cost, really no harm done. But I think your best bet is to use the Mobile Passport Control app. I've used it several times at many US airports, but not DFW. The line for mobile has almost always been shorter than the GE line, and in the couple cases where it was not shorter, it was comparable. I really only got GE because I wanted TSAPre and my cc covered the cost. I think, at least for the time being, the mobile app is plenty good enough
  7. Finally got off my ass and used the credit from Chase to sign the wife (no pics) and me up. Submitted the app around 4/8, got conditionally approved 4/10, was able to make an appt last night 4/16 and got approved today 4/17. The appt making process was odd, when I first checked it had availability all day 4/25 and 4/26 but by the time the wife got home from work and I could firm up a good time, all the appts were gone. Checked a couple days later and they had appts every day of the week this week, all times of day. Not sure why it was so fast but not about to question it. Also the Chase reimbursement happened automatically, same day as the $100 charge showed up.
  8. Well if a negative number is 'very low' then I completely agree with you.
  9. I was able to short on E-Trade yesterday at 26.85. I figured I had missed the boat and had stopped trying but after reading here about the rubes sinking their life savings into it, I jumped in.
  10. Most every time I've seen it, the shill is a woman.
  11. Tell me you don't know how the scam works, without telling me you don't know how the scam works.
  12. I never thought the leopard would eat MY face!
  13. Anybody taking voting advice from Franklin Graham wasn't gonna vote Biden anyway.
  14. Tried shorting DJT on E-trade today, was told I couldn't do it because they don't have shares to borrow. Seems like everyone is shorting.
