I am sorry you all have had poor results. We bought the Staber Washing
Machine almost 28 years ago (so far that is $48 per year at current price)
because we could easily work on it ourselves (why pay for something you can
do yourselves) and it also runs on 12V if we switched from the grid. Also,
we bought it because it used less detergent and spun so much more
efficiently than other types. I use the Shaklee HE (High Efficiency)
detergent and put in 1-2 Tablespoons of soap. (If it suds over, I learn the
first time that I need to use less. Soak it up with towels and then don't
put soap in those loads.) I do my families overalls and other barn clothes.
Yes, you can't overload it (common with most machines)and rugs are a little
difficult, but it will spin until it senses that it has spun all the water
out. Load it half full and call it a load. I do and have done many, many
loads per week (10-15) and have worn out parts from normal wear and tear and
I, personally, replaced a lot of parts over the years and they have shipped
me the part. The manual tells you exactly how to troubleshoot and each part
comes with a how to install. Call the office and they will help you also.
Nearly all the parts to be replaced are easily accessible through the front
panel. As far as houses, ours is 100+ years old on pier and beam in Ohio.
Yes, it does sound like an airplane winding up when it is spinning, but most
washing machines worth getting will send some vibrations whether you know it
or not. We love our Staber and will keep replacing parts from normal wear
and tear and I expect it to last another 30 years.
 
That post is 16 years old.

I am getting offers from Capital One, which I have no interest in, every few days but I can't get a Citi Thank You card. Why?

I had the impression Capitol One is aimed at people with little or no
credit history, so they do things to make sure they won't lose out. So
they require a deposit (I'm not sure how that works exactly) so they can
always grab that money if the card user fails, or fairly low limits.
 
I've never had a credit card, but apparently it's easier getting them if
you have them. I remember a time I was getting junk mail, saying I was
preapproved, but I never pursued it. I think they were basing that on
where I lived.
 
So apparently getting that first credit card can be troublesome, and
likely more the older you get.
 
One trick I read is to apply when you have a lot of money in your bank
account, that might work best at your own bank. It makes sense, the money
is there if they don't get paid.
 
Store credit cards are supposed to be fairly easy to get, apply to one and
keep it clean, and then apply for a more general one, you'll benefit from
the good credit rating on the store card.
 
Get your bank to issue one, with a small limit or however they work that
"deposit" thing. Or maybe they will deal with you if you pay a fee. Then
apparently you later apply for another card, and
get a better limit. I was reading that's the way to go, the limited card
doesn't magically improve over time, which I would have thought would be
the case.
 
We [ut some investment with a bank, my sister thinks maybe it's worth
trying for me to get a credit card from them, since they have a fair
amount of my money in that investment account. Maybe that does work, a
bank you are already dealing with surely is in a better position to judge
you than applying to some other party.
 
Or apply for a Capitol One card, and take the limits for a while, then
apply for a full card elsewhere.
 
It's hard to follow all that goes on, you get more points there, you pay a
monthly fee there, and then of course the rate you get charged for credit
may vary.

My only real credit card, which I have had for only about a year, is an American Express card. I am surprised how easy it was to get. I pay off the balance several times a week. The points are incredible with that.
 
I have a Citi bank account for my Citi card. But I needed a Thank You card because Katy Perry is doing a show where you can only get tickets with that card. But there is always the chance only brokers with that card and destroy the secondary market but I would rather just buy the ticket.
 
I don't really want any other card because I just put anything on Amex. For the points. Though inefficient I just started buying junk on Amazon and Newegg I needed because I can't think of anywhere I wanna go.
