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.

Many ways. Are you looking at a specific bank?

Amex biz platinum is asking for proof that I make money. Is it worth going down that road with them if I don't file taxes?

What kind of proof are they asking for?
Are you making money?
There are instances where people got away with bank statements

If you're not making money ask them if bank statements are enough.

When you cancel a SW booking made with points is there any time limit they must be used in like when you cancel a revenue ticket?

AFAIK they go right back into your balance.

IIRC, this activity will not extend the expiration date of the points.

I'm pretty sure you are right. My point was, that it is not awarded as a credit of any sort. I becomes one with your account.

How do you contact Uber. DW was charged a fare for a cancelled trip.

In app is simplest. Using iOS or Android?

You should be able to dispute it in the app when you go to your previous trips.
