Here's what it said before i actually confirmed the order: "Joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will upgrade your remaining Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership(s) into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for the same amount of time, up to 36 months total. All conversions are final; conversion ratio...

Does the signup page on Xbox.com have this math? It just says "automatically upgrades" and "see FAQ" and the only thing in the FAQ I found is the 2:1 or 3:1 conversion. I've got about 18 months of each Gold and GP, and another 2x3month GP codes I haven't added yet. If it gets me 36 months...

I really liked the Hyperion cantos. I know it was a lot deeper, allegorically, than I was reading into it. For me: and Yes it looks like a Harlequin cover but that's not all that's in there.

I read story of your Life and Others . I think I liked it but didn't love it. I just finished: Stupid "odd couple in crazy situations" type story that just gets sillier and sillier, but I laughed out loud multiple times. Just started:

Those are the main caveats - you're paying 2-5 bucks (or more) for basically 25 off 35 so you're still going to spend out of pocket. Saving 23$ is nice but it's definitely not quite a 'free meal'. Also no change is given, and it usually isn't good on alcohol. It can be a nice way to try a...

Pop Sci Newsweek - i got it for free, then it goes straight in the trash Town Hall - to balance out Newsweek The Week Reader's Digest Maxim (subbed till like 2027) I used to get OXM and did like it but it ran out

I have used them multiple times. As long as you can find a restaurant that takes them it can be good. But get on their email list and you can get codes to get certs for 5, 3, or 2 $, so I would not take it as a reward from another site.

The lowest amazon price was 13.49 six months ago, according to camelx3. Third party prices have been below 10 bucks (not counting shipping) for a while.

7 of the 9 interests are pretty spot on. These two are a little iffy: Hobbies & Leisure - Radio Control & Modeling - I was looking for RC vehicles for my boy for Christmas Shopping - Apparel - Swimwear - I'm not really sure where this came from. Age: 25-34 Gender: Male hmm. Gender is correct...

I got the last Whirlwind and a triple pack with Elf, Sonic Boom, and Wrecking Ball at Target on Friday. They also had a couple of Darklight packs, a pack with ice characters/area, and one or two more singles. Some guy about my age came as I was there and said "Yes! They have it!" on the ice...

If they can afford to pay athletes miillions or tens of millions of dollars a year, and they charge 10-100$ for tickets, plus all the merchandising, they can afford to build their own stadium. (I know not all that money goes to the team/owners, but still.)

Dang I just bought Honeymooners for 19.99, arrived yesterday. Quick Robin! To the pricematchmobile!

My top three in no order, of the games on the list I've played: Skyrim - epic, the world feels much more real and populated than Oblivion, and I don't feel like I'm overwhelmed with piddly stuff, but I do have a lot to do; Saints Row the Third - just crazy fun Dragon Age II (I liked some things...

Never be rude to a CSR/customer service person. If they personally are decent, then it's the business's fault they can't help you. If they're rude, report them to management or corporate. We've got 10% unemployment. If someone is in a customer service job and can't treat customers...

Laziest/easiest way is amazon, but yes, that 'new'/'like new' stuff sucks. You pay for that convenience though. To me, assuming Amazon takes it, I'd rather lose a couple bucks than go with the hassle of bringing it somewhere, dealing with people, haggling, meeting, postiing, etc. That said, I...
