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 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.
hence the 2/3 BM  not tabs.  :)

Slightly OT: can an incognito browser / private window work as a separate browser in a 3BM?

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.
Is there a chance the app. from yesterday will merge with 2 days ago? I heard something like that being dicussed.

Even if not, 3 months from now, both pulls will be from 3 months ago.

Business credit cards
« Reply #2609 on: August 28, 2014, 07:06:24 PM »
What happens if I open for example a chase ink credit card with a business tax ID number, what happens if the business goes bankrupt in the future or goes out of business, what happens to my personal credit, will it affect my credit score?

I'd personally go for your first option.
Thanks!
If I may ask, can you please explain why that would be your decision?
I try my best :-\

Help! My amazon payments account has been shut down. Are there other alternatives like amazon payments that allows you to send 1k for free each month?

Do you have other recent pulls on your history? If going for Amex, may as well go for multiple cards as it will be the same pull.

They stopped the multiple bonuses on personal cards, but you should be able to get multiple cards.
