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.

Will I be able to use my personal sapphire preferred to transfer my ink cash points to airline miles? My Ink Cash is for a real business, not sole proprietorship. I'm not sure about this b/c the ink would be in the business name. TIA
Why cant you transfer straight from your sapphire to your united account?

You probably misunderstood my question. I want to be able to convert points from the Ink Cash to United. Ink Cash does not convert to airline miles, but I have heard that you can if you have a sapphire preferred. My question essentially is, would I be able to do that if the SP is personal and the IC is business(real business, not sole proprietorship)?

the 'transfer points' tab only shows up on accounts eligible to transfer points ie accounts that have an Ink (not 1 of them) or a Sapphire Preferred.

You transfer to the airline you are booking with, not flying with.

I'm trying to book through British Airways but they're telling me that there's no traffic between the two routes . I remember Dan saying that that means you're not booking with Avios. There's no option to search the calendar through Avios...

So I booked a ticket with BA on AA domestic. I think the eTicket said that I have no checked baggage. How can I change that? And if I can't , can I buy luggage at the airport?
