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

i was trying to bring up the link and i used an incognito tab and it didnt ask me for an account, for some reason (or maybe i just clicked the wrong thing) it didnt work on a regular browser, thanks anyway

There is an Airspace Lounge, which IINM the Plat will work for. If he wants, there is also a Delta lounge that he can access if he is flying Delta.

You can still use an expired AMEX Platinum for Delta lounge access?

Is There a website for hidden-city tickets for award flight ala skippedlaged for revenue?

The instances where that would be applicable are very few.

There is no website that would tell you regular award availability across the board. So I doubt there is a hidden city version

I've always thought someone should build a tool based on EF to show you all the routings with award availability between two places.

Yes, why wouldn't it be?

The rules for electronics seems to change all the time so I just wanted to confirm.

IIRC, EF charges per search for such a tool. I believe it was discussed in the awardhacker thread.

If I want to fly domestic in a month from now on AA using miles and the only ticket has a stop can I book the ticket and if a non stop becomes available change it for no fee even within 21 days?

do balance transfers effect your credit score?

do balance transfers effect your credit score?

The balance transfer shouldn't affect your score.  But if you're transferring it to a no fee card, and then expect to carry that balance, the large balance will affect the score.  Unless the balance is on a business card.

What am I missing? Why would someone need a $600 gap gc? - http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=78450.msg1829427#msg1829427

On that note, why would anyone have so much interest in buying gift cards?

+1, I'm really not sure what's so hard to understand.

I am with you, $600 I can understand, it is the $5000 plus that I do not, and I have seen much higher numbers, where did a seller obtain $15000 and can still be profitable selling at 10-15% off ?Why does a buyer need $10k?I have seen these numbers frequently , definitely some smart people  :)know something I do not.
