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.

Find a Walmart outside of brooklyn. There are many that still work beautifully. Good luck.
Nothing near Brooklyn.

The amount of money I would be spending just on gas would be ridiculous.

I always stop at Walmarts when I am driving somewhere else. Don't go special, but when you are there, just stop. Also, they love helping in those places.

True, but I hardly ever pass walmarts on a regular basis.

I just got approved for British Airways SP and Barclay's Arrival, altogether that's $9000 to get all the bonuses. The problem with the traditional GCtoBB  is that I live in Brooklyn so there aren't any WMs nearby and I don't think evolve would help because I don't really have any expenses aside for phone bills. Can anyone help?
ummmmmm....sp is 3k spend, BA is $2k, and arrival is $3k spend. U only need $8k

use amazon payments.
And also, Gc to bb isn't the only alternative....

If you read up enough on DDF, you shall find. I am not going to spoon feed anything to you, so get reading.

Me neither, in fact it's very out of the way... so I stockpile GCs and go out of my way once in a while!
BB changed their daily max lately, so that can be helpful to you.
