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.

  The money you spent on the card for the calendar year because it is associated with your ein number
If you spend money on a business credit card, the only way to report it (if you were doing that) is as a business expense. Not sure why that's a bad thing. You can put personal expenses on the business CC and not report it too.

Report what? That you opened a new card?
What about the info that you put on the application?

Don't know where to post this.... Has anyone ever "missed a united flight" (red eye) so that they can get on a flight the next day without getting charged a change fee from United??

The red eye is likely different, but for a regular flight you need to be there within (?)2 hours of your takeoff time for them to rebook you on the next flight.

I was in Israel and missed a united (1045 pm) flight and they put me on a flight (instantly at the airport) for the next morning... Was wondering if the same thing would happen  for domestic...

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I have a mathematical question: I want to pay for a $657.75 travel charge with points. I have 61,456 points. How many more do I need? It's not as simple as it seems, because they give a bonus when you redeem points.
Thank you.

They may give a bonus after you redeem but you can only redeem towards a charge once.

Correct. Can you split up the charge in a few chunks
