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.

Lets say you take 4500 UR and move them to BA (you can only  move in 1K increments) and buy a ticket with them and only a $5.60 fee.  And that ticket, if paid with cash only cost $91, then you've made each UR point worth .019


Brokers used to pay that much sometimes, I don't know if they still do.

it won't show the words "kosher meal" online, but if you called to book it, then you will get kosher food.
You can always call back to double check that they did it

Figured I should ask here before posting.

Is it ok for me to try to sell a Gap Cash code. It is a unique code for $125 off a purchase of $250 or more.

I did a 2bm yesterday for sapphire and freedom the SP was approved after a some huca but it seems the freedom application didn't go through, now I noticed that indeed yesterday I got only 1 email confirmation. What to do now?
Apply again today? if I do will it be another inquiry?
Maybe tell them if I was approved for the sapphire I'm for sure good for the freedom and they don't have to pull my credit again?
Or maybe my application is just lost somewhere in bank burearocecy and I should just wait till it sorts out?

don't apply again if you don't want another credit pull.
Telling them that you got approved for one card and to just approve you for another will not do anything

In the future, that's why you always have to call recon for all apps the day you applied. You could've found this out and then sent another Freedom app over, and it would have registered as only 1 pull.

I think I know why it didn't go through, I used the same browser with 2 tabs and I think theyr'e system thought the second app. was a mistake.

If that is the case, they should have a record of the second app.
