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.

I want to start racking up some points and I need some help.
I have a couple of different cards. Starwood, Sapphire Preferred, BA, United, Blue cash and Freedm MC.
I got the signup points for all the cards. Any idea how i can start getting more points? Normal monthly spending is about 2k.

Lemme get this straight.  You're looking for an amex physical location to pay a BOA amex? How would that work?

I think he's paying an Amex (Bank) bill at BOA, because it seems from the sm rots5 received that you can.

Are there any physical locations to pay an Amex CC bill?
But I see what your talking about in rots5 sm response.
Interesting, I didn't know they take payments for amex. I wonder what they charge. . .
