I assume the rule that when arriving in the USA from an international location you have to recheck your luggage no matter what, also applies from Canada. But can somebody please confirm?

I had an Amex card in 2006 (it was closed at some point) but for some reason it's not on my CR. I'm going to get in touch with them to find out why not.
Even if that card is not reported on my CR, if I get them to write that I am a "Member since 2006" will that help my credit score, or they don't actually change the reporting on the new cards for that?

When you get a new Amex personal card, it should say "member since 2006" on it, and it will say that as well on your CR for the new card, and Yes - will help your score.

So every Amex card you have is reported as being from the year you got your first one?
Meaning, the more Amex cards I get, the higher my average age will be? Seems too awesome to be true :-)

Can potentially make it even more awesome by adding yourself multiple times as an au on your own cards for sbs, and increase your average age even more.

Can someone flying Aeroflot credit the miles to another Skyteam members ff program? If so, what's the best option?

To do so does each memeber of the family need their own ffn or can all the tickets miles be credited to Dad?

Probably FlyingBlue, but depends on the fare class.

And what's really cool is I got my first amex in 10/14 and that's what it shows on my report but the second one I got shows on my report as 1/14

It depends from where. In some Canadian airports you clear customs in Canada (YUL for example). In that case you wouldn't declare customs when you arrived and your bags would probably check to your official destination.

Ok so my question is, if I book a flight from yyz to mco with a 3 hour stopover in cle, will I be re checking my bags in cle or will they be going straight to Orlando?

Anyone with experience flying ex-YYZ?
