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.

It is different for each  issuer, Visa or MC cards from US Bank for eg. will get declined unless you register them in your name online or over the phone, then they will work for online.
With Metabank Visa and Vanilla , I have used both online without registering.

Yes, eg. I pay electric bill, gas and water bill,ADT security etc,  my info is already there, enter visa number , same name and address and payments go through instantly.

lost as in deleted from the system, never to be read by anybody again?
Or lost as in the folder is mislabeled and can and will be brought up by someone accidentally sometime in the future?

For what?

If you believe that your doctor or other health care provider violated your health information privacy right by not giving you access to your medical record, you may file a HIPAA Privacy Rule Complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights. The easiest way to file a complaint is to go through the HHS Office for Civil Rights. If you have questions about privacy, security, or HIPAA, visit the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) privacy website . You can also search OCR’s HIPAA FAQ database.

How long do i have to cancel an amex online payment?
(I know it’s an old post) I made 1 payment last night & it gave me the option to cancel till 1:30MST, which was about 20 minutes. I just made another payment & it gives me till 9:30MST to cancel, which is about 2 hours.

It sounds to me that it's as safe as if it wasn't lost.

You do not need an account to apply for a card. What link are you using?
