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.

So I assume that means that my bags will be checked straight through to Orlando. If that's the case, is there anything I can do to have them checked only to Cleveland, or no?

Would telling the check in agent that you're going to need something from the bags in Cleveland help?

To open a Wells Fargo card online, the site says I need to have a bank account with them... Does anyone know if online account works? Does it matter if I don't live anywhere near a branch?

This focuses on someone who never had credit,  but I believe it should be the same.

after a few hours, you can't modify or delete a post. RTM it and a mod can remove it for you.

Pretty sure you do not even need an account. Go into a branch and apply.

Doable for me, but since no branch close to home, the only way that I can think of to get card for my wife would be after having the bank account...
