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.

Each alliance has a master thread stickied at the top of the Up in the air board.


not sure which alliance, it would depend on which airline has the routing I need for the least amount of miles

yes
but i have been using spg for RC and it causes basically no issues. plus, the BA is in my wifes name, so if there are issues, i need to get her on the line and bother her. ill probably be able to spend the money in the next 2 months anyway, bc ill have some things to pay, so i guess ill just do that
Don't you work near a staples?  You can buy the visa gcs.

I wasn't sure because when I signed up for the forum I think it might have  said that you can't share your username with others. I just wanted to make sure if I saw that or not.

That means you can't have others posting for you. Sharing your account
