• state: Ohio
I’d like all 4 of these cards eventually, and I’m located in Ohio if that helps determine which bureaus they will pull. Is spreeing all 4 of these possible? If so, what would be the best order to apply in (if not, which ones in what order is plausible)? I’m not worried about going over 5/24. I’m confident I can hit all the SUBs at the same time as I have some large purchases coming up. At first I’ve been spreading my applications out, but I’m thinking that it may be best to just get a bunch that I really want and then garden for a while so they simultaneously age; I still want to get some feedback on this before I spam applications in case I’m making a big mistake here.

Preliminary results: PASS!
Y'all. I feel so good right now. You guys don't know how crazy my life has been. Basically, I have a family to take care of and I'm the only one working. My gf and I also recently bought a house, so the timing was impeccable.
I was laid off from my cushy office job back in October and for 2-3 months I was basically living off of savings. It was dreary. I brushed up my resume. I sent out applications left and right and I found no one willing to hire me. I started looking for more local jobs and stumbled upon my Kroger pharmacy hiring.
I was surprised to be hired on the spot by the manager pharmacist and I immediately got to work in the middle of January (the weeks after New Years was a nightmare!). I had no experience and basically learned everything on the job. I was doing Pharmacy Technician University every night till 3-4am in hopes of being able to have some semblance of a decent salary and hopefully leave retail as soon as possible rather than later.
I asked my manager pharmacist how long it usually takes someone to get certified and he told me usually people take 6 months but some even take a year or longer. I looked him dead in the eye and I told him I'll do it in half that.
I've been so nervous from the point of scheduling the exam and in the past 3 days, I consumed 3 red bulls every night till 6am studying for this thing. I just took the exam today and I PASSED. I'm so relieved that I finally finished the exam and I can be certified and also so I can go to bed at a decent hour. My manager pharmacist actually just left the company a month ago, but now I can honestly say that I kept my promise to him and finished just a bit shy off of 3 months.
I'm so tired, time for bed. thanks for reading

I saw open applications for a job as a courtesy clerk at Kroger, and was curious if you guys recommend this place as a second job for me? If not then that’s okay! I still have other options to choose from

Was trying to create an express application using the kroger API. Is there any apparent syntax error I am missing? This is my first time working with an API and help would be appreciated as I have been stuck for a while :(
The error in terminal shows as follows : data: { error: 'unauthorized', error_description: 'invalid credentials' }
Here are the instructions to make a test call from the documentation:

curl -X POST \ 'https://api.kroger.com/v1/connect/oauth2/token' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ -H 'Authorization: Basic {{base64(CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET)}}' \ -d 'grant_type=client_credentials' 

Here is my current code:

import express from 'express'; import axios from 'axios'; const PORT = 8000; const app = express(); import bodyParser from 'body-parser'; app.use(bodyParser.json()); const data = { grant_type :'client_credentials', }; const config = { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', Authorization: 'Basic Y291cG9uLWhlbHBlci1iVzk1MjUxY2I1MGQ0Zjc1MzYzODc1YTUyZjgzMTc2YnQwOTA1MjM2Nzc0MTMzMjM3MTE6dkhYOG5RZXR0RGdvVmlYeE1wRnV5V3FhemlTNGNreWlxdFRBMG5HbA==', } }; const url = 'https://api.kroger.com/v1/connect/oauth2/token'; axios.post(url,data,config) .then((response) => { console.log(response.data); }) .catch((error) => { console.error(error); }); app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server Running on port: http://localhost:${PORT}`)); 

I have already tried resetting my client secret and verified it is encoded correctly.
Note: not my actual encoded CLIENT_ID/CLIENT_SECRET.
Thanks for help!

I applied to work at a Kroger roughly one week ago through the website. I just checked on my application status, and it says "process complete". What does this mean exactly? I tried calling the store, but all I got was an automated message saying I should check my application status online. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi! Taking a trip to Europe for the first time, in early July, and I am just realizing that even though I have a lot of cards, not many have no FTF.
To be brief:

• Budgeting ~$3-4k total including airfare (~$1700), so I should be able to hit most SUBs.
• Living with friends the almost the whole trip, so housing is free.
• Biggest expenses will be dining, transit (bus/train/taxi), and the large airfare bill.

I've done some research and the following cards look like good options, but I have questions:

• Wells Fargo Autograph: The pre-selection tool said no offers for me, should I apply anyways, even if the WF pre-approval tool said no offers?
• CapOne SavorOne: Their pre-approval tool said I was only pre-approved for the version for "good" credit, thus no SUB.
  • I'm a student, and the student version of this card has a $50 SUB, and I think I have pretty good odds if I'm pre-approved for the "good" credit version.
  • Should I risk denial and apply for the full $200 SUB version, or just take the student version's $50 SUB?
• AAA Travel Advantage: Does anyone know if the 3% back on travel apply to local transit, such as bus/boat/taxi, etc?
  
  • Called in today, talked to 2 different reps, one said transit (bus/train/boat), rental cars, and hotels would be counted as travel for 3% but parking meters/post-paid parking would not. The other said all of the above would count
  • On top of airfare being counted as travel, of course
• Altitude Go: I have 2 personal cards, 1 business card, a personal checkings & a business checking with them. However, my last 3 cards have all been with US Bank, and within this past year.
  
  • I have read data points of US Bank closing down accounts from high inquires, and would definitely not want to risk this.
  • Should I even consider applying for the Altitude go? I'm at 1/24 (EQ) 6/24 (EX) 9/24 (TU)

In addition, I would have almost no use for the WF and CapOne, once I get back domestically, as I have other cards that all carry higher % back for every category that they cover. I would keep using the AAA Travel Adv. for 5% back on gas, and the Alt.Go. would still be useful for the $15 streaming credit.
Current cards I plan to bring

• Kroger Mastercard as a 5% catch-all if the vendor accepts Google pay.
• Venmo Visa, for 3% on highest category and 2% on 2nd highest
• Citi Custom Cash earns 5%, but has a 3% FTF, so I am still planning to use it as a 2% back card on one category.

Additional info

• Equifax Vantage 3: 747, Experian FICO 8: 729, TU: idk but my Discover FICO scorecard uses TU and says 72
• Equifax: 1/24, 0/12, 0/6
• Experian: 6/24, 1/12, 0/6
• TransUnion: 9/24, 5/12, 3/6
• AAoA 1yr 10mon
• AoOA: 3yr 8mon
• Util: 3%
• Income: Student at uni, freelance part-time for ~$48k/yr
• Rent/Other Debts: $0 (technically negative but that's not an option in applications) $12k in student loans

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
As a moderator of this community, I wanted to bring to your attention a recent scam that has been circulating around the Wizard101 community. It has come to our attention that there is a phishing website that appears to be distributing a code if you enter your username, password and master password. This is designed to be a phishing attack to trick unsuspecting players into sharing their account, likely so they can steal it and potentially sell it or do what they want with it.
In case you're not familiar with what phishing is, it's a type of online scam where a cybercriminal creates a fake website or email that looks like it's from a legitimate company, but is designed to trick you into entering your personal information. They might try to convince you to provide your login credentials, credit card information, or other sensitive data. In this case, it's a website created that uses some of the source code of the original website to make it look real and it tries to extract your username, password and master password.
I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone of some basic safety tips when browsing the internet, and how to make sure a website is legitimate before entering any personal information:

1. Always check the URL of the website you are visiting. Scammers will often create websites that look almost identical to the real thing, but will use a slightly different URL or domain name. Make sure the URL is spelled correctly and matches the official website.
2. Check the claims that the website is making. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is. KI is not going to give away a Kroger jewel card for free, especially on a website that is not their own. They aren't giving away something that's normally $20 for free with no reason. Additionally, KI has said themselves that they will never require you to enter login information on anything that isn't on their official website or game, so if a website ever tells you that there's an exception where they absolutely need it, back out as fast as you humanly can. Even support will only ever need your username
3. Be cautious of links or emails that ask you to login or provide personal information. Scammers will often use fake links or emails that look like they're from a legitimate company to trick you into giving them your information.
4. Contrary to popular advice, the lock you'll find on web browsers doesn't inherently mean that it's safe. It just means that the website is what it identifies itself as. So you'll see 🔒 reddit.com because Reddit has a certificate identifying itself as Reddit, which is backed up by the certificate agency. However, scamwebsite.com can still do this as well.

If you ever have any doubts about the legitimacy of a website or email, don't hesitate to ask the community or contact the company directly. It's better to be safe than sorry, and the Wizard101 community is always here to help each other out. Additionally, if you become aware of any website that is attempting to trick users, please reach out to us in modmail so we can take action on it in any way we can. And if you ever find that you entered your information on one of these, IMMEDIATELY change your passwords, both regular and master (if applicable).
Remember to stay safe online, and let's keep the Wizard101 community a fun and secure place to play!
(Yes, I used ChatGPT to help write this. I'm not good at making moderator announcements by hand)

My niece is 20 and will be 21 this year. She currently works for Kroger and have only been there for like two months and recently worked another job and was there for a year or so.
She wants to save a little money and get a car at some point and wants to get her credit going so that she can eventually get the car in her name. She probably has $1000 or less to her name.
She has applied for credit cards and keeps getting denied. I thought a secured card would be best and she was denied. I thought everyone could get those and she has the $200 to put down or give for it. I told stop applying because these are hard hits on your credit at this point. I’m not sure if she is putting something down wrong on the application or what….
I have excellent credit, could I be a co signer for her, for a credit card maybe through my bank or credit union to help her credit get moving or started? I just need some options or ideas on how to help her jumpstart her credit.

I have always been complimented on my complexion, but now that I am getting a little older, I have noticed some new skin concerns I want to address.
I have tiny sun spots on my upper cheeks and bridge of nose.
My nose is very oily and prone to large clogged pores.
I emote a lot with my eyebrows, and I am beginning to notice little lines staying after I scrunch my them.
My skin is also getting red REALLY easily too. All of a sudden I am much more easily flushed on my cheeks and I HATE it. Feels like my cheeks are red so often now.
I am at the beach a lot. Have been since I was a child. There was a time from age 18-24 that i only wore sunscreen if I was going to be at the beach for a long time. But for the most part, I wouldn't put it on when I was out. From 25 and on, I have worn tinted SPF instead of foundation. My application isn't the best, but it's better than nothing. Haven't really been very intentional with SPF aside from that.
My routine : Mostly wash my face with water. Sometimes a simple face wash.
Sometimes I used this exfoliant on my nose (it's grainy - Dermatologic multivitamin thermafoliant) that seems to help with buildup.
At night (50% of the time when I remember) I moisturize my neck and face with CeraVe.
In the morning, after washing, I apply a very light moisturizer to my face and neck.
I also wear a tinted SPF as makeup almost everyday. That's pretty much it. I have a vitamin C serum in my fridge that I haven't used in a year bc I forgot what it was fowhen to apply it.
Please suggest me:
-a moisturizer
-a face wash
-a face SPF (non-tinted)
-a tinted SPF (prefer medium coverage since I don't use concealer or foundation)
-lip care/eyelid care
-plus anything to target my concerns and anti-aging
I prefer basic, easily accessible products; things I could pick up from Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Kroger, etc.
Thank you!!!

I had a visit with my primary care doctor yesterday, morning. It was the usual follow up talking about my current condition and get medications refilled. During the visit the doctor asked me about my right arm surgery. The way the conversation went was like him telling me to not take the medication for the surgery. I tried telling the surgery was part of the solution, but I had neuropathy since this injury in high school. But every time I tried telling the doctor about the issue I had previously, he stops me and I think he said something like be careful not to take the med for the wrong reason. Then we finished the conversation with him telling me, he'll see me in a few months and get my blood and urine sample.
​
So I left and went home, I looked at my medication refill and there was only that was being refilled, but not the other. I called the doctor's office, the nurse tells me it was sent and pending in kroger's system. So I said ok please give me a call when it does get refilled (at this point I was out of the medication for over a week).
When they called me back, the nurse tells me the doctor had concerns about the potential of the medication and he stopped it. I was like what do you mean? shouldn't you at least discuss a treatment plan with me, before you do that? She was like oh, do you still need the medication? I said yes, I do I have been out of medication for over a week and my nerve has been flaring up and my hand is going numb. So she was like I will give the doctor your message and get back to you.
So I waited and as I waited, I thought there might've been a miscommunication with the doctor, so I wrote him a message and submitted a refill request through their patient portal. Then we played a game of phone tag. The next time they called back, they changed their story and said the doctor wants me to see a neurologist, I was like ok that's fine. Even though I don't have insurance moment, but that's not a problem. You can't just cut off my medication without consulting me and come up with a treatment plan. I was never told my medication is gone during the visit, that is extremely unprofessional and it feels like this ethics violation.
Obviously the nurse couldn't answer back on those, then the conversation becomes we can give you referrals and give you finance assistance application for xxxx hospital. I was like ok that's fine I'll take it, but what about in the meanwhile?
​
I asked her if she knew how the approval of thhe apllication was? She goes no I don't it depends on the case. So I was like ok, you don't know and you cut off my medication without consulting me or give me adequate notice. That is not right, you need to give me medication for the meantime at least. So she goes well ok I'll call the pharmacy and try to give you 2 weeks. I'm like is that the average time for finance assistance approval? Again, she doesn't know. So I said you need to give at least a month. So she and I went back and forth, it ended with her telling me she will call pharmacy to give a month.
After that she called again, to tell me I had a refill left on my medication so she called that in. I told her no I don't I just checked my medication. She insisted there was and that I can pick it up today. She wasn't happy on and just fudge the call, it was cut in and out at that point.
So I waited til tomorrow checked my medication again, there was a refill request from the pharmacy to them. So I called them back and told them, there is no refill left. Then the nurse was irritated and finally called the pharmcy to give me a one month refill.
​
TLDR: the doctor cut off my medication without consulting me, the nurses tried to cover for the doctor by making up excuse and changing their story about: doctor wanting me to prove my condition.
​
TLDR2: I've seen this doctor for the last 4 years whether I had insurance or not. I've always talked about condition and the history of it. I've never had any altercation with this doctor.
​
So I'm wondering if I have any legal recourse for actions like this? I've met a lot of terrible doctors, since I moved to Georgia. Not only are they unprofessional, they just don't have any ethics at all. It's like patients are just burgers. This feels very unprofessional and gotta violate some kind of doctor's ethics.
