New zipcode

Alan From Rochester Fri Jan 08, 2016 11:31 pm

I was visiting a friend last night in 14619. This is the 22nd zipcode I've used here. Swapped out for some bills he had and entered pizzeria change. Didn't bring my bank straps - or my stamp, marked 'em later.

Last time I entered bills in 14619, it was before I had discovered TD. I have WG hits on bills I started there. I used to travel around the area specifically to enter in different zipcodes. Maybe I should do that again, at least come spring.

LOL, I have exactly THREE zipcodes for bills entered on TD

18353 - Saylorsburg, PA...where I used to live
27591 - Wendell, NC...where I now live

and

33040 - Key West, FL...where I was on vacation and ran out of marked bills. So I marked some there.

Got the idea from a thread on the WG forums, and there are some places I visit anyway, like this.

14622, my hope zipcode, is 76.5% of my entries.
14617 is right in the neighborhood, including the local library. That's 17.5%.
I pass through 14607 and 14609 fairly often, about 2% each.
21 is right near me, and 10 is near 07 and 09, but without many places to enter many bills.
Besides that, handfuls from some other local zips I'm in rarely.

I wanted to go somewhere in 14616. On the way, I stopped at a library in 14612 and entered 76 $1s and a $2 for zip #23. I'll enter a small amount on wifi at the place in 16 for zip #24. Hopefully I can stop by the library in 16 another time. I might be able to stop by a bank in 12 on the way back. Always nice to tap a different supply and not bother the same tellers. The bills entered in 12 are from one of my usual branches.

Kalisiin Fri Jan 15, 2016 8:30 pm

I live in a very little town. Unless I happen to already BE in Raleigh, I am not going that far outta my way. I'll just bother my usual folks in Zebulon. They never mind accommodating me. Of course, I have both my personal and my business banking with them, so of course they never mind accommodating me.

Alan From Rochester Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:01 am

Only entered a $20 and 2 $1s in 14616.

Most tellers are cooperative, but I don't want to push my luck or make a problem worse. Note also "tap a different supply". If I'm in the same branch constantly, I probably got their goodies already and they have a lot of my own bills which I might get back.

I rarely leave my neighborhood just for banks, but often stop in if I'm somewhere else anyway.

I rotate which neighborhood branches I check. I also go at different times of day, to see other tellers and spread out where I go soon before close.

Alan From Rochester Mon Jan 18, 2016 7:34 pm

Had an appointment this afternoon. The place is in 14612. I was hoping it was in 14616 or a totally new zip, but I still entered another $20 there.
I got the bill in 14580, but didn't have time to enter it.
I have 22 bills entered there without hits. Granted, they're mostly stealthed with a few WG marked. I wasn't paying attention to zip stats at the time.

I got a pair of hits on the 14612 bills already - that makes 11 zips with hits

Judging by your entries map, I thought you had already passed me!... Laughing

Not yet. I'm just under a hundred behind you. Keep driving new routes and adding to your numbers.

Not really all that sure what the fascination with Zip Tripping is, but to each their own, I guess.

For me, it just seems like too much of a bother.

I DO try to spread them out when I spend them, ya know...a few in Wendell, a few in Zebulon, a few in Knightdale, some in Raleigh...try to sneak a few over the borders into Nash, Franklin, and Johnston Counties...all of which I could throw a rock to from my front porch on a windy day...and that oughta give anyone who cares to look at a map of North Carolina...a pretty good idea where I live...almost at the junction of the three mentioned Counties, but I live in Wake County.

The WG thread on the topic - http://forums.wheresgeorge.com/showthread.php?86796-Laptops-WiFi-and-ZIP-codes

1350? There are a few Georgers in that order of magnitude.

I have 50 on there - 34 in Monroe County, 5 in 5 other NY counties, 8 in 8 other states, 3 in DC

Alan From Rochester Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:51 pm

Got 14564 today - my 25th, 1st outside Monroe County (just into Ontario County).
10 bills - 8 $1s, 2 $5s. Evenly divided between WG and TD marked. As usual, bills marked with one site were entered on the other.
I was going to the LEGO Store in Eastview Mall, entering bills to take with me, and realized I could enter them there. I already entered a $10 at home but did 4 $1s once I got there. My total was $25.77 - I used $40 (rather than $40.77) and took 2 $5s instead of a $10. This meant more bills to enter and an even division between sites.
If I had planned to zip trip as well as shop, I would've brought more unentered bills with me.

Alan From Rochester Fri Apr 15, 2016 8:15 am

Happened to pass through 14614 yesterday. Zip #26
9 bills - 3 stealth (2 $1, $10), 6 $2 (4 TD marked 2 WG)
Near my new job and a bank with WiFi, so I should be able to make a few return trips

Diamondback Dave Sat Apr 16, 2016 3:27 pm

I am at a stall at this time, not driving trucks right now. Ended back on 2/25 with 1441, 79851 Sierra Blanca, TX (Hudspeth) being the last one.

Alan From Rochester Sun Apr 17, 2016 3:17 am

So since you're not traveling for work right now, you're not zip tripping like you used to?

Alan From Rochester Tue Jun 21, 2016 12:18 am

Second guess - you're exhausting your supply of accessible zip's? been there done that.

Amongst other things, my library job means a lot more bills entered in 14604. That's now in 6th place with 498 bills, very close behind 5th, and in the same order of magnitude as 4th and 3rd. I entered a few bills in 14619 last week, and a few in 14608 yesterday - next time I go I'll be able to enter more. I entered a few in each awhile ago, but without hits, and I like entering in zipcodes besides my normal ones anyway.

I work until close every day except Thursday. Other nearby branches are open later the other days of thew week - 14608 Monday/Wednesday, 14619 Tuesday.

Alan From Rochester Tue Jun 21, 2016 11:30 pm

59 in 14619 - a $2 and the rest $1s. My previous total was 19.

Yes, my local ZIP's are spread out for miles. I have a few more in Maricopa county and in Pinal county, where I live. Most of them are off of the beaten path, so special trips need to be made to get to them. I have a WG gathering I am attending this weekend and may try to hit some of the Pinal county ones west of I-10 along I-8, maybe into Yuma. All depends on how late we get done in Casa Grande. I did go to Tucson last week and got 18 of them, some PO Box, and another a couple of weeks ago in Maricopa county for a town called Palo Verde.

Alan From Rochester Thu Jun 23, 2016 1:39 am

Entered 54 in 14608 yesterday, about tripling my total for the zip. Probably the whole site's total.

Zip tripping sounds hard enough with a car, let alone a bike like me.

I suppose you get a PO Box Only zip by going to the PO that serves it.
That's how I got 14692 on WG - it's only for the main Rochester area post office. 14602 has the same location, so which zip would I use there?
Likewise, 14603 is located at the 14605 PO.
Rochester also has several single entity zips and sometimes it's hard to get a clear answer on what building those refer to.

Alan From Rochester Wed Jul 06, 2016 8:07 pm

14643 - 32
Single user ZIP for JP Morgan Chase. The downtown branch also has the local zip, 14604. The bills going there tend to be stealths so a hit is unlikely.

Google Maps puts that ZIP as a school southwest of downtown, but any other source uses the local zip of 14606 for that.

14604 - 19
14608 - 23

14619 - 35
Library open late because of the heat, but 14608 was on the way and I got through much of my stockpile there

Alan From Rochester Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:49 pm

Not sure how many zipcodes I lost in the big outage, but I did lose a lot of entries.
Recently entered 1 bill with 14613 and 2 with 14603.
Already have a hit on bills entered in 14621, but I've made a lot of return trips there lately. The library there is usually closed after work, but it's often open late recently because of the heat.

Alan From Rochester Sat Sep 03, 2016 10:52 am

My first new zip in awhile - 14627. On the University of Rochester campus, including a Chase branch, and the lobby of that building has a large table an wifi. Was prepared to use my data plan, glad that not necessary.

At 28 zips now, 13 with hits. Lost a lot of bills/hits to the outage but not whole zipcodes or they were easy to revisit.

14627 hit, now 14 for 28
