In this video I'm going to tell you about how much money you need on your SmarTrip card to ride the Washington DC
Metro and how to load it up.
HELLO! Welcome to Trip Hacks DC, my name is Rob. I'm a tour guide here in the nation's capital. Ifyou're coming to Washington DC
and you're looking for the best tips, tricks, and hacks for exploring the city, make sure to subscribe to this channel and hit the bell

And if you're interested in signing up for a Trip Hacks DC tour, head on over to TripHacksDC.com
afterwards, to see the tours that I offer. If you're new to this channel I actually have several other Metro videos
and I will leave a link to my Metro video playlist in the video description. If you have any questions about using Metro during your
trip, leave a comment on this video and I will try to help you out, otherwise,
let's get started... One question that I get asked a lot is "how much money should I load onto my SmarTrip card?" In my
previous video on the dos and don'ts of Metro, I
suggested buying a SmarTrip card with the $8 default value and topping it up as needed; however if you're coming to DC and you
know you're gonna be staying for a while, or riding the Metro a lot, it might make sense to add more money at the beginning.
Unlike in other cities, our Metro does not use flat fares. What you will pay
depends on how far you travel and whether you're riding during peak time around rush hour or not. For a typical visitor who is staying downtown
and using Metro to get to the major sites,
I would budget $2.50 per ride on average. $2.50
is a good starting point.
For some people it might be too much; for other people it might not be enough. So if you want to get really precise about
it you can actually use the Metro website to find out exactly what the fare is going to be
between two stations. So once you're on
www.wmata.com you're going to find the page for the station where you're starting your trip from. Scroll down a little and then click or tap
"Metrorail Fares" then from the drop-down box select the
station that you want to travel to. In this example if I wanted to travel from Capitol South to Arlington Cemetery
station I would know that it costs $2.50 during peak hours
and $2.20 during off-peak hours.
So if you're a really super organized planner you can look up all of the fares for the trips that you plan to take and
then use a calculator or a spreadsheet to
total them up. Now the next question that I get asked all of the time is
"should I buy an unlimited ride pass?" and my answer to this is almost always
NO
Psychologically we humans love unlimited stuff. The reason is because after you've paid that original amount
everything after that feels free - even though it really isn't. In my experience, most visitors to Washington DC
will not use Metro enough to make an unlimited ride pass worth it. Plus
they're generally confusing and even if they do save you some money,
chances are that that amount is going to be pretty minimal. So since you're not going to be using a pass,
let's say that you loaded your SmarTrip up with $8 like I suggested, but now you're running low,
what do you do?
Topping up your SmarTrip is super simple. Find a fare machine in any station and
start by tapping your SmarTrip up against the target. On the little screen it will tell you exactly
how much money you have on your SmarTrip card. If you have cash
it's as simple as just feeding it into the machine. If you want to pay with a credit card
you can use the up and down buttons to change the amount on the screen and then swipe your card to add it.
After you're done
you just tap your SmarTrip card against that target again to complete the transaction.
But let's say that you forgot to top-up your card and now you're taking a ride
but you don't have enough money on your SmarTrip to cover it. For example if you're taking that $2.50
Arlington Cemetery ride from the example earlier
but you only have
$2.00 on your SmarTrip card
when you go to exit, the fare gates actually won't let you out. What you're going to have to do is use one of the
Exitfare machines to add more money to your card. Now the big, huge annoyance about these Exitfare machines
is that in 2018 they are all cash only, so be mindful to either check your balance before you go into the system,
or carry some small bills with you. And lastly
let's say that you overestimated and overloaded your card
and now you have a balance that you didn't spend. Can you get a refund on your unused balance? The answer to this one is...
Maybe. On the wmata website it says that if you live outside of a 100 mile radius of Washington DC or Baltimore
you may be eligible for a refund on your balance and to contact SmarTrip customer support to discuss. Now,
I have never personally tried this because I obviously don't live a hundred miles or more away, and note that the words "may be
eligible" are quite vague, and
contact customer service "to discuss" is also rather vague, so whether this will actually work,
I have no idea, but if you have a large balance on your card, and you really want that money back
it's worth a try.
Alternatively there are some charities here in town that will accept a SmarTrip card with a balance on it.
They will use the balance to help the less fortunate get to job interviews, doctor's appointments, and that sort of thing, and I will leave
a link in the video description
to one of those charities if you have a smart trip card that you want to mail to them. And that's it!

Checkpoints Really! Why did Checkpoints do this? Checkpoints scam? - Duration: 9:26.
so what the beep checkpoints seriously what the B hey guys welcome back to the
lazy tech guys and today I want to talk about checkpoints yep checkpoints
seriously what the heck first of all I'd like to thank all the subscribers over
that have joined us over the past week greatly appreciate it if you have not
subscribed and you're watching this video slide on down to the bottom right
of this video and slap that subscribe button hit that bell to get all
notifications if you're interested in phone farming phone farm apps or
anything techy we'd greatly appreciate it and love to have you with us so guys
what's up with checkpoints well we'll get to that I wanted to give you guys a
brief back background about what what's going on well show this up here last
month what see here yeah about February 7th
ish I sent out we sent out an email to checkpoints and it was very simple we
were just double-checking getting clarification on their Terms of Service
and really not even much of an issue you can see here you know we asked I really
don't have any issue just a question about accounts I'm aware you only allow
10 phones per account no problem my question is how many accounts per IP we
wanted to know this the reason for my question is I'd like to run this at work
which this is work and several others want to do the same so I don't want to
get banned over something silly thanks for your response in advance other words
we wanted to know because here at work we have our office we also have our
personal hooked up you know we have other people in and out that want to use
checkpoints and we didn't want that to become an issue with us using our
checkpoints on somebody coming in that had it on their phone or whatever that
happens around here on apps that we have and
so we didn't want to get banned we thought this was a fair question okay so
anyway we go by scroll through and you'll see you sent us on the 12th cuz
we came in here the other day and you got probably about a week behind on this
sorry guys but looked over in check points doesn't do anything I got to
looking at it and they had secured 0-0 at the top of the of the app and I
thought oh well that's nothing big right no big deal it's done it before we'll go
in and we will clear the cache and we'll just get it back at once if we can go
and clear all your settings clear your cache and boom checkpoints will come
right back up and work so we did that and yeah guys know it saying we got
Network issues out there but she's just being a simpleton let's get you to this
point so we went in like I do get this over here to the settings and after this
is also actually a good way to clear that problem get into your checkpoints
and we just clear data okay in cleared so that clears everything a clears your
clap cache and everything so then from there
we just want to sign back into our checkpoints
you know we scrolled up here to our checkpoints and we wanted to sign in and
when this loads up I'll show you what we got yeah yeah if I could type here
oh no banned accounts are not allowed to transfer to a new device please create a
new account to use checkpoints so they banned our account so we lost everything
we earned we get they they're gonna go ahead and allow us to create a new
checkpoints account hmm does that seem fishy to you guys or is it just me so I
jumped in here obviously I went to their terms is a SERP okay so get up in here
and this is standard I'm not gonna you know really get too crazy on my search
by device and just a look get back up in here but I want to look at the accounts
operations in termination just to see and of course it's in here exactly what
I thought would be in here which is this right here
they have the right whoo to reserve the right to deny access to their site for
any reason that they're so to Gresh the sole discretion for any reason or no
reason so in other words they pay in the account which we were very close to a
payout on with no reason now we have sent them an email obviously and asked
them why and what's going on so if we get an update on that we will let you
know we are not gonna create a new account with this yet until we speak
with them simply because we have static IP here actually external IP for our
business and so that's easy to track yeah I could change the IP down we can
go through that but no I'm not gonna waste my time my phones can be running
other things do you do other options so at this point I don't know and we've got
paid out multiple times my check points guys
multiple times this isn't something that you know we've just been running once or
twice in fact checkpoint was a very first app we ever installed checkpoints
was the one thing that we've been paid on multiple multiple times
you know without a doubt they've done very well I can't say anything up to
this point the problem that I have is we have changed nothing in the last year
and a half of using checkpoints we use the same phones same app you know we've
done everything it's the same we haven't changed it we send them that email about
a month ago and suddenly were banned makes you wonder makes me a little
nervous does that was the thing I said is I don't want to get banned for
something silly so let me know you know is this gonna work there's this not so
hopefully they come back with a reasonable response if they don't come
back I'll let you know and we may or may not create a new account and run because
that's exactly what the town wants to do is just create a new account which
scares me in the fact that why so my question to checkpoints if they watch
this video is what the heck seriously guys what the heck right now to me it
looked it looks like maybe they're making some changes and doing some scam
a scam on their own own site I hope that's not true I really don't I really
hope that something got messed up they can send me an email we can work this
out that's what I hope for my hopes are not very high anyway guys leave your
comments below and what do you think about this you think maybe we did
something wrong I can tell you you guys know our phone farm setup you've seen it
10 phones one account we do not have any other accounts other than people that
come in and out of our business for standard the business itself for the
workers that come in and out all that we don't have anything else other than this
for our operation we have the ten phones we were thinking about doing more phones
absolutely we thought about doing another one because they said that we
could do it and if you've seen in their response
I should have showed you that and I didn't really look at it but their
response was you can have as many accounts as you want as long as each
account has its own unique US number with texting and also
and they count email address and any phone that we have will have all that
information that is absolutely not an issue so anyway guys I would love to
hear your comment what you think may have happened I would greatly appreciate
it just drop those down below remember if you haven't hit that subscribe button
go ahead and do that hit that like button if you think this is garbage as I
would say we would greatly appreciate all your support in this and from there
guys remember the day is what you make it so let's make it a good one
you

How Long to Do No Contact to Get Your Ex Back - Duration: 4:15.
Hey there, welcome back.
It's clay with modernlove.life and this is relationship inner game.
Today what we're going to be doing is we're going to be talking about how long should
you be doing no contact for.
Again, this really does depend on which type of no contact you're doing passive no contact,
active no contact, reverse psychology, "let's play" mind games no contact or uh, you know,
he opened the breakup no contact or you know, all kinds of different types, but I'm just
going to be moving forward assuming that we're talking about active no contact because that's
what I teach.
So how long should you be doing it?
And the main thing shouldn't be focusing on some specific number of days, like you know,
a week, two weeks, three weeks, a month, three months, five months, six months or anything
like that.
What you should really be thinking about is the quality of the interactions that you believe
that you'd be able to have with your ex.
So oftentimes it would be highly recommended that somebody would go into no contact of
any type because quite frankly, they are not having positive interactions with their ex,
you know, every time they pick up the phone and call their ex, they have an argument or
their walls them out or every time they text they're actually, they just get met with some
like, angry response or they're just no response whatsoever.
Otherwise, every time they're interacting they are having a worse and worse interaction
with them that is causing them to distance themselves from you emotionally.
OK.
What we're doing during active no contact is we are creating a new context where we
can develop the ability to interact with our ex in a way that actually brings us closer
together.
So you don't want to just kind of white knuckle it through no contact and hope that just because
some certain amount of days have passed, uh, that you're suddenly going to be able to have
a great impact on your ex.
So putting some time, make sure that you are doing something to actually have a great positive
impact on your ex.
That should really determine the length of no contact.
OK?
If you're making progress and you're developing advanced relational skills and you're able
to have stronger interactions with people that bring the two of you deeper, that allow
for more connection then you're making great progress and that could be a sign that, you
know, it might be, have been long enough for you to get out of no contact.
OK?
Especially if you also factor in the other reasons that you might do no context such
as personal healing from the break up and, um, allowing enough time for your ex's reactance
to sort of die down a little bit and all of that stuff.
OK?
But as a general rule of thumb, I would recommend that you would do active no contact for about
30 days, about one month.
OK?
This is by no means a strict rule that everyone must follow.
But generally I think that it's a good rule of thumb, a good starting point.
Some people might need more time, a very, very few people might need less time.
But it's a good starting point.
A good rule of thumb and you shouldn't really focus on the amount of time, so much as on
the quality of the interactions that you're able to have.
So anyway, that's how long you should be doing no contact for.
And that's how you should be thinking about it anyway.
Once again, this is clay with modernlove.life.
