Last year, I bought a 10 acre parcel that I happened to find a great deal on. It didn't need a well, it's in an area that's been somewhat rural, but the closest city continues to grow in it's direction, it's minutes from the area's largest employer, it's in SC, which is a hot area in general, & I was aware of a very exclusive new golf club being built along the same road. I got it for just $8300 and acre, which was a fantastic price, & I'd just sold my home & was able to use the equity to buy it in cash.

It was originally a 100 acre parcel that had been purchased & subdivided into the 10 acre lots, & I recently saw a home was being built on the 10 acre parcel next to mine. I literally just saw it's now a pending sale for a 5/4 2700 sq ft home for nearly $600k, & needless to say - I'm really happy to have come across this info! And the golf course isn't even completed yet!

I'd like to hang on to it longer, but it left me somewhat cash poor, & I'd really like to pick up some different acreage to possibly build an RV park on, so I'd been thinking of getting a loan against this property to buy more. I'd wondered how it might get comped, so even though I only have raw land, hopefully, this will boost it up.

I'd also been a bit curious what I might could get if I did decide to sell, & I now I'm really wondering how this home sale could affect the asking price of the land...

I've had a Venture One card for years (& a Quicksilver card I don't use), & I've been an authorized user on my former spouse's Venture card that has the $750 initial sign-up bonus, but since we divorced, I no longer have that card.

It's a metal card, & I acquire more points with it, & I want the $750, so I'd like to obtain that type of Venture card.

It's my understanding that if I want to be eligible for the $750 sign-up bonus, I need to apply for it. Can anyone confirm if that's correct?

I'm not interested in making the switch if I can't get the sign-up bonus, so I'd like to be sure.

TIA

I don't live near a Cheesecake Factory, so whenever I'm in the vicinity of one, I usually always go.

Since I rarely go, I usually get my favorite dish, which is the Crispy Pineapple Chicken & Shrimp, & I get all shrimp. The last time I had it, the breading on the shrimp was literally like sludge - it definitely was NOT crispy at all.

I had the opportunity to go again yesterday, & I figured the last time was just an off night, perhaps, because we've never had a bad meal at TCF, so I ordered it again. Wrong - it was just like before - Sludge Shrimp, & it was barely edible. (I was with someone who was indulging me by going because time was tight, so I didn't bother sending it back.)

Has anyone else experienced this with this dish or know of a menu change?
