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.

Does UA business get first bag free? Does it matter if it is an award or paid ticket?

UA J domestic or intl? But yes they do. Doesn't matter.

In fact you get two for free.

I wanna close my personal Gold and the only other MR card I have is a business Gold,

If it's the same MR program # then it's combined.

Log in. Should be right near the amount of MR you have on the homepage.

For example, my MR acct # 1M4xxxx collects points from 3 cards: my PRG, my plat biz, my blue.  Anything earned by purchases on AU cards will also go into this MR account.

Hey! I'm looking to do a 2 bm with Amex. I currently have a prg(personal) and blue cash. I was thinking of closing prg and getting Amex everyday card. Also want platinum card. Should I upgrade prg to platinum or just close prg and apply for platinum? I don't want to lose out on platinum offer. Thanks for your help!

IINM (if I'm not mistaken), you can only upgrade the BGR (Business Gold Rewards) to Biz Plat, but not PRG to Pers Plat.

Unfortunately you're mistaking.
