We'll see how long the rental situation stays up, right now because it's now seasonal rentals people have been price gauging. As a result less people will rent and play. I think those priced will then go back down to where they were. Time will tell. Glad to hear you are making something off the node, if SPS ever recovers to a decent price maybe it will be really profitable!
I've never used Gemini, not interested either. Good move tearing that up.
Credit card companies seem to be doing more of those security flags lately. I think all the scams out there are costing them too much so they are trying to be proactive. It may get worse before it gets better.
Diamond status is nice! I think I'm gold for life at Marriot. I don't travel nearly as much as I used to! The extra perks and upgrades really do make a difference don't they?
