Orb Damage from Cosmetic Update - 100k bag knocked down to 50k

Anyone else notice that the Orbs, beyond their really cool new animation when breaking, deal some decent damage to stuff now? Instead of just being seemingly glass that shatters, they now pack a punch. If this was always the case call me crazy, but I've had the orbs actually cause me and my valuables damage all day today.

The worst was when I was on extraction #4 out of 5 and had a 100k bag going. Had the bag sitting next to the 4th extraction waiting to be thrown in, and a monster came into the room so I tossed em into the pit nearby. Tried my mightiest to catch the orb but just couldn't get my hands on that sucker, then to my surprise it CRASHES into my 100k bag, shatters into a brilliant display of smoke, immediately knocking off 35k from the bag, and then the bag hits the wall and loses another 5k, then rolls into the pit where I grab it and save it and somehow lost another 5k again. So in like 2 seconds my bag lost almost half it's value because I couldn't catch the dang orb!

I honestly laughed pretty hard it was kind of funny. Wish I had a recording to show. Add orbs to the list of dangerous things to be careful with. Better catch those suckers!

$10.00 redcard orders for the last 2 days

I've been doordashing for over a year, and doing redcard orders that whole time. My favorite orders are shopping orders. Up until 2 days ago every offer I'd receive for shopping orders would vary by the cents. Not sure if that makes sense, but like offers would be say.. 9.75, or 11.30, or 15.75, or $27.85, etc.

For the last 2 days, I kid you not, I have received almost two dozen $10.00 shopping orders exactly. And they have all been for different stores. Meijer, walgreens, CVS, Aldi, etc. It's been so consistently $10.00 to the penny that I thought Doordash changed something and these orders would be without tip and $10 was like a new minimum for redcard... but nope, the ones I accepted all included tips. So the breakdowns would be like $7 tip $3 DD pay, $6 tip $4 DD pay, etc. I've only taken a few of them because my primary focus are higher paying redcard orders, but I am getting way less of those and a LOT of these $10.00 orders. I can't tell if DD has set a new minimum for redcard orders and they are higher than they would have been before 2 days ago, or if they are less than they would have been. I'm just freaked out by seeing $10.00 over and over again!

Am I crazy? Someone else please say you're also seeing these $10.00 orders lol. It's been too many in too little of time to be a coincidence, and if it is a coincidence then I better go out and buy some lotto tickets.

Can't balance transfer between Citi affiliated cards - Now what?

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but you can't perform balance transfers between Citi or Citi-affiliated credit cards. Unfortunately I had zero clue about this and I'm sure it was in the fine print, but certainly not big enough for me to have noticed, and I always read the asterisk points.

Basically I have a Meijer credit card which is ran through Citi that has quite a high balance, and my promotional APR ran out, so I was looking to do a balance transfer. Of all the card offers that are sent to me in the mail I went with one for a Citi Diamond Preferred card which was offering 0% APR for 22 months and a 3% balance transfer fee. The entire point of me applying for this card was to balance transfer my Meijer card which is my current highest APR card I own. I finally sit down to do the transfer and get told I can't, because my Meijer card is a Citi card. This never even crossed my mind before.

So now I have a brand new Citi Diamond Preferred card that I only opened up to transfer the balance from my Meijer card... but I cannot do that. So I guess I took the hard inquiry and new account hit for nothing. Any suggestions? On the site when it told me I couldn't transfer balance, it said "consider transferring the funds directly to your deposit account." What does that mean exactly? Do I have some other option of getting my Meijer card balance over to this card?

I applied for the Citi Diamond Preferred card today, and within seconds of applying I got a credit karma email that an inquiry was made. Seconds after that the webpage on Citi turned to a "APPROVED!" page, showing a credit limit, and asking for the account details for any balance transfers I wanted to do. I left the room to go get my info for the balance transfer I wanted to have done.

When I came back 10 min later, the webpage had refreshed to a Citi login page. I logged in, as I already have a Citi account for a Costco card. To my surprise I had no new account listed under "Accounts", only my existing card.

I checked my emails and I have zero emails from Citi about applying or being approved. I found the citi application status page, and that says my application is in review and I should hear back in 7-10 days.

So like... why would it take me to a webpage that said I was approved and ask for balance transfer details, if I'm not actually approved and I'm still in review? I'm so confused. Does anyone have any insight? Was I literally just too slow and shouldn't have let that webpage timeout?
