(Sorry for another question) I ordered a bunch of items on 7/19 and most hasn't shipped yet and the rest will be delivered next week. However, I have a lot of kohls cash earned that expires in 2 days. Obviously won't know what items I will be keeping or returning until I try on so I'm nervous to spend the kohls cash. I might just spend a little bit and not all of it, assuming at least some would be returned. I know it's probably hush hush but is there still a grace period if I screen shot the kohls cash to use it after I know what I'm keeping? Or if I call online customer service could they extend it for me?

I have been pulling my hair out to figure out why every return I try to do from my online orders is declined "unable to process refund" and other similar phrases. I had been using the barcode within the app for the receipt, always within 30 days, all tags still on, etc (Skip below to see solution if desired).

No cashier or manager could tell me why. First they said maybe I paid with an expired card (no). Today they told me to call my credit card to see if there's a block on it. So got out of line, waited on the phone 10 minutes for them to say no issues, then stood back in line for 30 minutes for them to say sorry it'll have to be store credit. Finally I decided to see if I still had the email from placing the order and scrolled to find the barcode​ and voila, worked fine. So for some reason that barcode within the orders in the app is having issues, at least for me but it was across various orders and barcodes. I will now be saving all my emails. Figured I'd make a post in case anyone else comes across the same issue ​

My dad buys a lot of lottery tickets at Sheetz and couldn't figure out the app (in order to play the bonus games you need to input the code on the app). I tried downloading it on my phone but kept getting errors trying to input the code. I just came to visit my parents and downloaded the app on his phone for him and it's giving an error when trying to link his sheetz card (invalid number) and then when I go to offers and type in all these codes he has it just says error again. This is incredibly frustrating but considering the issues on both phones now it seems like it would be a common issue?

I ordered a large number of items, mostly dresses and gowns for several upcoming weddings and events. Close to 1k worth of things. The very next day I received a 40% off coupon. I asked if I could apply it and receive the difference but they said no and I would just need to reorder everything. ​I thought when I looked it up on the website it says you can apply a new coupon as long as the purchase has been within 14 days. I don't mind reordering everything, it's just annoying to return the entire first order and I would think it's easier and cheaper for them to not have to pay to ship so many bulky items all over again. Not meaning to complain though, just want to make sure what I was told is true

I had severe damage due to my neighbor's water heater leaking through my ceiling. I used my insurance but subrogation was denied based on condo documents stating all units are responsible for their own damage, therefore I did not get the deductible back either. I'm deciding whether it's worth contacting the subrogation department based on the clause about negligence:

1. Our condo docs also state that each owner must get water heaters inspected yearly and submit paperwork. I know my neighbor did not do this because we speak frequently and they told me. Even after the leak they made a comment that it's a waste to get their water heater or hvac inspected. The document says anyone who does not submit "may" be liable for damages caused. Is the word "may" a way to not be held liable?

2. Last year I emailed my neighbor and condo management about loud banging noise in the pipes above me when the same unit is using their hot water. Neighbor told me they hear the noise too but don't think it's a big deal so didn't get a plumber (despite it being so loud it scares me out of my sleep daily at 5am). Manager told me she would ask them to get a plumber but she never did. I then went to a board meeting to follow up and she told me she would tell them how to fix the pressure valve themself and again she never followed through. (Side note, I later found out that she apparently is friends with my neighbor but is also scared of getting on his bad side. She used HOA money to pay for their damages but told me I needed to use insurance. Any issue I've asked to have addressed regarding them never is)

*I have no idea if the water pipe noise issue was related to the leak that occurred. Not sure how I could know that either.

*Would either the fact that I had informed them of noise OR the fact they have no records of maintaining their water heater help me fight the subrogation denial?

My neighbor had a leaking water heater. I informed them there was dripping sounds in the wall and eventually called them when my ceiling started dripping water. They told me they didn't see any water. I placed a bucket under the leak and waited for a plumber to come that I had to pay for since they said they would not because they saw nothing. Plumber opened my ceiling, saw the leak from their floor, went upstairs and saw water all around their water heater.

Fast forward I was in a hotel for 2 months while my entire flooring and parts of drywall had to be replaced (had been happening for awhile apparently, just didn't know since most was dripping had started inside the wall). They gave me their insurance information and their insurance sent me emails with information to file with them if I wished. Upon speaking to them, the limits seemed low and I'd be out of pocket a lot so I decided to use my own insurance. I just received notice that subrogation was unsuccessful and that I would not be receiving my deductible back either. This is based on condo bylaws that other units can not be blamed for damage. My questions are:

1. Even though I had phone and email proof informing neighbors of dripping sound and water leak but they refused to act, does that not count as negligence? (Also plumber write up that visible water was on the floor around their water heater)

2. My insurance told me that the email from my neighbors insurance company giving me all the information if I wished to file under their claim was proof that they are taking responsibility

3. I suppose other units have had water leak issues recently and we've received a lot of communication that it is our duty as residents to get yearly maintenance checks by licensed technicians on water heaters, hvacs, dryer vents etc. They also stated that "damage caused to other units may lead to owners being held financially responsible". Why would they state this if it's in the bylaws that owners can not be blamed, hence why subrogation was unsuccessful?

4. At what point would taking neighbors to court be worth the time and effort? Deductible, cost of plumber, out of pocket expenses for hotel and renovations that went above my own insurance coverage, etc

I've verified my account but it's frozen due to suspicious activity regarding a credit card on my paypal account. I can only unfreeze my account if I verify the card information. How can I do that if it's not my card? I tried calling and they said the same thing. I have no idea how the card would've been added if it's not mine, especially if billing name and information would not have matched.​ I also tried adding another credit card and deleting that one but it also will not let me delete it. PayPal said they will have to investigate. I was using my PayPal to pay for various things online and on websites but had no idea I was using this card that didn't belong to me because all the websites will list is "pay using paypal". Luckily it wasn't much but I don't even mind paying what I used the card for since I technically owe them. Anyone have something similar happen?

To be more specific, a problem/annoyance you didn't realize until you lived there, didn't think to check, and also isn't something concerning inspections. Like, it might not be a deal breaker for everyone but bothers you enough to add it to your list for your next home. Here are mine:

1. How is the cell phone reception? Similarly, what cable providers are you able to get?
2. Does the bath tub squeak loudly when someone is standing in it?
3. Storage spaces. I have no pantry, no linen closet, tiny closets. I'm pretty organized but nothing can fix not having space for necessities.
4. Water heater and laundry should be on first floor or even garage. Deal with water damage from a leak once and you'll probably feel the same.

I've searched reddit for this and a lot of people mention popping sounds, but by their description it seems like theirs is a metal popping sound. Mine isn't a metal pop, doesn't sound like duct popping, but like a bubble/liquid popping or like a pop you can make by clicking your tongue. It only happens once or twice when the unit is turning on but before air starts coming out. There will be 1 or 2 pops, a short delay, then it turns on. Also, it doesn't happen every time maybe every 5 or 10 times the air comes on so it's hard to catch it to record. Anyone have an idea what it could be?

I'm really embarrassed by this but we've been together for a few years and he has 50/50 custody of his son from a previous marriage but I have never met him. We only see each other on the days he doesn't have his child. At first he said it was a bad divorce and custody battle and I got the impression he was scared senseless to do anything to make the ex mad and jeopardize the time he had with his child. But it's been a long time and now his ex is remarried with more kids and I'm sure she could care less (they got divorced about 7 yrs ago, so nothing recent). I know I probably should have given up awhile ago and taken it as a red flag but considering I don't have kids myself, is there something I'm missing in why someone wouldn't want you to meet their child? Is it a definite indication that he doesn't see me in his future even though we've been together this long? I've tried bringing it up multiple times but he shuts down and says I won't understand because I don't have kids and he's not ready.

I was in a hotel for 2 months and was told to save my food receipts for reimbursement. I understand that the reimbursement is only for the ADDITIONAL cost compared to what I spent on food before. However, my adjuster is now telling me they calculate the "before" as $150 per person per week. Wtf? I don't think I've ever in my life spent 150 on groceries for just myself. In fact, when I calculated my TAKE OUT expenses during the time in the hotel, it is very close and sometimes LESS than 150. Shouldn't that be a clue that 150 a person on groceries is way more than most people probably spend, if take out would be less? I purposely tried to not overspend and went to reasonable places for take out, but now I'm thinking I might as well have splurged since I'm not going to get any money back.

edit: I don't know if I'd be allowed to fight the 150 but ​I don't even know how I would prove what I spend on groceries typically since I'm the type to meal prep and freeze meals ahead. I use a lot from the freezer that I've purchased over time so I'm not buying for a week at a time.
