I have a pilot MR and a TWISBI eco and they are both great. I decided to also get a Lamy Safari and I’m very disappointed. The nib is very scratchy and the ink skips. I’m not sure why so many people recommend this one when it was more expensive than my pilot MR and FAR worse. Overall I’m disappointed.
Is it possible o can get this deal without direct deposit? My work doesn’t do direct deposit but this $400 deal looks pretty good. Is there any loopholes I can do to get this without direct deposit?
I’ve racked up about 160k miles on my Venture X and finally tried to use them for a vacation… and honestly, I’m underwhelmed.
Most of the transfer partners either have pretty weak redemption rates or don’t actually beat the cash price of flights. I spent way more time than I expected trying to find a “good” deal, and it just didn’t feel worth the effort.
At this point, it seems like I’m better off just booking through the Capital One portal using points rather than transferring them out.
Maybe I’m missing something, but the whole points/miles game is starting to feel like a lot of work for minimal payoff. I’m seriously considering switching to a simple cash-back setup and calling it a day.
Curious if others have had the same experience or if I’m just doing this wrong.
