Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

How long does their shopping portal take? What about crediting a past rental?
30+ days. Not sure. If book/cancel works I don't mind paying the fee.
I just found a new supply of forks!

What is an easy way to extend BA miles expiring in a few days. Have no UR/MR unless I add AU. Does book/cancel extend expiration? Anything else?
Dan says booking and cancelling works-

Hi, I just received an email from Dell saying that this deal https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/electronics/printers/dell-wireless-monochrome-laser-printer-36-99-shipped/ was a price mistake and therefore the order was cancelled.
Any way around this?

Try posting it in the tech talk board. Maybe in the computer troubleshooting thread. And write your computer model name.

They don't actually exist, it's just a myth.

Alitalia Bankruptcy
« Reply #8499 on: February 19, 2018, 04:23:54 PM »
We would like to book a flight on Alitalia for July, do you know what their bankruptcy status is? Should we book with them or is it a risk? Will we lose our flights if we book and then they go out of business before our flights?
