IPL Question

Just had my first round of IPL done

No side effects, I actually feel totally fine

My biggest symptom is eyelid redness - for those of you who have had IPL, how many sessions did it take for this particular symptom to improve?

Will Amex Prevent Future Charges on a Card Cancelled for Fraud?

A few days ago, I noticed an Amazon charge for $105 on my business platinum. I immediately called Amazon, and they basically said they couldn’t do anything since the card wasn’t linked to my Prime account.

Yesterday, I noticed another charge for $85, also at Amazon. Called Amex, reported both charges, told them to block Amazon as a merchant and block any future charges at any merchant going forward on the old card since they’d be issuing me a new card anyways.

New card came in today and works fine. My question is, did I take the appropriate steps to prevent future fraud on my old card? I’ve read a few horror stories that have resulted in people having to close their account with Amex, not just get a new card, which is not what I’m trying to do (don’t want to lose the points).

Any insight is appreciated - thank you.

How long for IPL to work?

Just scheduled my first IPL session - I have rosecea, eyes fortunately aren’t dry, but my #1 symptom is persistent eyelid redness. Have had steroid shots, chalazions surgically removed, etc. First time doing IPL - what should I expect?

FWIW I have a very strong contact prescription and do wear contacts, but they said I can put them back in after

Lastly, is $400 per session the standard rate? Called a few places in my area, so I guess 400 is average, but didn’t know if it was cheaper in other cities/states.

2 Different Disputes At The Same Time…. Allowed?

I’ve been a business platinum user for about six years. I average about 25k ish spend a month on my card and have never had to file a dispute. Unfortunately, two different merchants have screwed me at the same time.

One of them won’t refund me after a package was lost in transit to me. The other one only shipped half my order. I’ve reached out to both merchants with no luck. The lost package was worth $200~, the other one I am missing about $450 worth of goods.

I’m hoping two disputes filed simultaneously won’t trigger an account review or closure. Does anyone have any experience? Thank you.

Using both biotrue and clear care

Currently wear proclear monthlies and want to switch from biotrue to clear care. Am I safely able to use clear care, but then switch to biotrue for travel or nights where I don’t have 6 hours to soak in clear care? Am I able to rinse in biotrue if I accidentally drop my lens after soaking in clear care? Thanks!

Morning after Chalazion removal surgery, is this normal?

Had the surgery on my right upper eyelid yesterday. It felt like something was in my eye all day, fortunately that feeling is mostly gone, but my eye looks pretty gnarly. Doing neo poly dex ointment twice a day and was told no contact lenses for a week. How long until the bruising and redness dies down?

How long does eye irritation last after chalazion surgery?

Just had a chalazion removed on my right upper eyelid. Sitting here on my couch with an eye patch and it feels like there’s a lash in my eye. It’s pretty brutal. How long does this sensation typically last?

I don’t think my steroid shot helped

Had two steroid shots on my right eyelid. First one worked for a month and then the redness came back. Second shot happened a week ago, but it looks the same.

Currently on xdemvy and have had nonstop issues, mostly with my other eye, for the past few years. Have tried light therapy, drops, basically everything.

Any suggestions? I don’t really see a bump, it’s mostly just red.

Steroid shot made things worse?

Had a steroid shot March 31, eye healed beautifully and everything was good until mid May when my eyelid started turning red again.

Got another steroid shot in the same eye the first week of June, but now, as of a week later, my eyelid is even more red? Why is that?

FWIW been dealing with these stupid chalazions on and off for years. Currently on my second round of xdemvy. Had surgery on the left eye a few years ago which worked, but as of recently had issues with my right eye.

So frustrating!

IRS Safe Harbor With Uneven Estimated Payments?

Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but -

I am a SMLLC (no s corp election). I am having a significantly better year this year so far compared to last year. As far as the June 15 estimated payment goes, am I better off overestimating that one, or should I still try and make equal payments?

I overpaid last year and got a refund, which I applied to the April 15 payment for this year.

If I pay the same estimated payments as I did last year, even though I got a refund because I overpaid, I feel like it’ll be short from what I will ultimately end up owing come tax time next year.

Wasn’t sure how safe harbor worked if I overpay now but underpay for September’s payments if I have a slow summer or something.

Thanks!

Is purchasing inventory in person a legitimate reason to deduct travel costs?

If I am traveling by train or plane to visit another state to purchase inventory to sell for my business, and said inventory can only be purchased in-person vs online, can my hotel costs if staying overnight, food and travel expenses be deducted on my schedule C?

Let’s say I leave home Friday, stay at a hotel Friday night, purchase inventory on Saturday, and return home Sunday morning - would the expenses relating to that be deductible?

Upgraded my seat to MCE using AAdvantage miles, but accidentally chose the wrong leg of my flight for the upgrade.

Reached out to customer service and they refunded me the points. However, I can still choose the upgraded seat on the leg that I accidentally booked. Has anyone had this happen before? Seems like an unintentional win, but don’t want to select the same MCE seat and for some reason have an issue when I go to board.
