Tarjetas de regalo de Uber/Uber Eats - Cuidado antes de comprar

Hola, una persona me envió una tarjeta de regalo de Uber Eats comprada en Estados Unidos, yo al momento de hacer la compra escojo el método de pago, selecciono tarjeta de regalo e ingreso el código. No habia ninguna advertencia, nada.

Resulta que apenas lo hago veo que dice que fue canjeada exitosamente pero mi "billetera de Uber" sigue en cero. Un par de clicks mas y veo que el dinero sale congelado en la billetera.

Al parecer cuando se compra una tarjeta de regalo, el dinero solo puede usarse en el país donde se compró, como aquí todo se compra en colones, no sirve de nada, esta bloqueado. No se puede usar un VPN porque la moneda esta ligada a la dirección de entrega, no de donde se ponga la orden. Como la tarjeta ya se canjeó, no se puede hacer un reembolso, ni le puedo dar el código a alguien más, no se puede pasar el monto de una billetera a otra billetera en otra cuenta. No se puede hacer la conversión de dolares a colones. Lo único que se puede hacer es poner una orden desde mi cuenta para que sea entregada en Estados Unidos en este caso.

Lo peor es que era una ayuda que me estaban dando porque estoy en la drapie y ha sido una inconveniencia para ambos. El soporte de Uber como muchos sabemos no sirve de nada (lo intenté, varios mensajes con varios agentes). Y es que esta información sólo sale en la letra chica al momento de comprarla.

Por si piensan comprar una tarjeta de regalo a alguien en otro país o viceversa, no lo hagan.

Requesting help to get cat food, would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I’ve been having a hard time with money, I lost my job a few months ago. Thankfully I found something and last week put in some hours but will be getting paid until wednesday. I have been stretching my food as much as possible, got a few eggs, rice and lentils which i think i can survive on til Wednesday. I have skipped breakfast here and there but now my concern is my cat ran out of cat food.
He got sick a couple of years ago after giving him random cheap food and had to be admitted at the vet for a few days and costed me $350+, now i have to get him cat food for urinary care. It’s about $25 for the smallest bag of the food he needs. I have only $3 on my account. I asked my neighbor for some food for his cats like 2 days ago but that’s gone already and don’t have anyone to ask.
I’m in costa rica and i think uber eats would be the best option as i dont have zelle and amazon wont get here.
Could be trough paypal or an Uber gift card. I promise i can send the receipt and pictures of my baby having it. Thanks for reading.

Hard times. Spaghetti and margarine both past expiration date.

Its been a shitty week I’ve been having eggrice for all meals for about 4 days and im so sick of it, the only other thing left was this pasta that expiration said 6/6 and the margarine said 5/30. Both unopened and stored in the fridge since I bought them.

Internet says both should be good but still let me know if you have done something like this before. Honestly i just broke down after serving it and now making this post. Hoping I don’t get sick.

Edit: both say “expiration” not “best by”.
Thanks everybody, pasta didn’t kill me!

Harto de las redes ticas en 2026

Cualquier tema o noticia que se esté hablando, los comentarios son:

Este es Jaguar

Este es de frente amplio

Ahorita vienen los _______ a decir ______.

Para que vean lo ignorantes que son los ______ por decir __________.

No hay chistes, no hay puntos de vista interesantes, todo es mi tribu contra la otra.
Maes ya pasaron meses de las elecciones, como es posible que tanta gente se reduzca a ese tipo de conversación y pensar que hacen algo bueno o entretenido al menos. No hace gracia leerlo.

Otra que me tiene harto es “que triste el estado del país con ________.” O cualquier variación de eso: “(inserte noticia aqui) demuestra como estamos como país, una tristeza”. Eso no es una opinión realmente pero la gente lo sigue haciendo.

Muy dolor de guebos?

Can anyone explain what is going on with Zaytoven on social media?

I keep seeing posts of Zaytoven messaging producers on instagram but I haven't seen any of those conversations develop. Anybody knows what he's up to?

Trying to help or trying to make money like some people say?

I'm sorry I don't have screenshots right now but this is something I've seen develop on Instagram, I'm sure some people here have seen it.

Did they acknowledge your mental health issues/conditions?

I keep reading post after post of people like me that have ADHD and ended up in a relationship with a person with BPD.
In my case we were both undiagnosed but clearly exhibit all signs of each condition, I personally have benefited profoundly from associating my experiences to these conditions, excuse me if this bothers you.

So I just think of the times that I had to basically let her walk all over me because she has “issues” and things that happened and she deserves understanding and patience. I had to put up with some other obsessive-compulsive symptoms she had that lead to non-rational feelings and behaviors that may be unrelated to BPD.

But then, whenever I left tasks unfinished, forgot to do something she asked for —basically symptoms of my own, difficulties that I shared with her as a form of disability really, things that affect my life negatively that I try to control but always struggle with- she would not show any patience or understanding, but rather the opposite, yelling at me like a child.

The worst part is being told by a partner what you were told as a child “you’re lazy”, as if that wasn’t something we struggle with already. And as many pwBPD do, if you say something hurts, it’s now part of their arsenal.

I guess I had some unresolved thoughts but am also curious for your experiences and any potential advice/words of encouragement you can share. Thank you for reading.

Back when we were together, one time I got a notification from instagram that someone accessed my account and asking if it was me. The location was precisely where my ExwBPD lived at the time. I immediately screenshotted everything and called her, she did sound strange to me and acted like she would never do that and started telling me to change my passwords.

Now, we broke up a couple of months ago and I kept seeing notifications on my tv to continue watching videos that were clearly her type of content, which was strange to me because I changed my passwords and logged out of everything the day we broke up. Just realized that somehow she was able to log back in and use my YouTube premium to get rid of ads. Every single day using my account this long into no contact.

The person who used to call me crying because someone was trying to access her LinkedIn account and “stalking her” somehow got my password and now it’s obvious that she also did log into my instagram back then. All my passwords were similar, which had never been a problem before.

This just pissed me off so bad I almost angry texted, im gonna drink some tea and do yoga instead. I think I’m right in being angry. Thanks for reading.

Edit to add: she found my Reddit account one time and in an argument referenced a post I had made in a whole different support group from a previous relationship mocking me. Which is just funny to me now, how petty can you be to do that. Hi by the way if you found this.

Long time reader, first time poster.

We broke up 2 or 3 months ago and had zero contact until yesterday. I woke up super late at like 11 am to find a text from her at 4 in the morning with a "Hello".

I was shocked, then immediately felt rage and defensiveness, I was doing well already not thinking about her and just being at peace -which she stole from me for months- and now i keep thinking about it.

She just asked how I was and I said "fine" and that was it, no more texts.

I've read all about hovering and support-group-jargon, I just don't want to reduce it to that because that's not how I experience it. Of course a text a 4 am is an emotional impulsive thing that happened.

But dude, all her text did was to give me anger and all these negative feelings, anxiety, sadness. I keep comparing those feelings I get, to the feelings I get when thinking about family and friends which are happiness, laughter, love, feeling understood, feeling safe. All she said was hello and it brought this doom feeling over my sunday.

Any advice? thanks for reading. Hopefully she's not reading this.
