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.

Hi there if one was late with a 6 dollar payment with southwest chase card by 3 hours and paid it, I know there's no fees but does it affect history with chase and if yes, is there something that can be done about it? Thanks!

IIRC till 30 days shouldn't have any negative effect.

Like TimT said, not reported before 30 days late.  But call to have the late fee waved.  They usually will for the 1st time late.

No. Just double-check about a possible late fee

Looking for someone to book Me a hotel in miami/ft Lauderdale area with their points (preferably with  status) for $200/$250..where should I post???
Doing it that way is "buying points", which is not allowed on the forum.
However, you can buy people's "free night certificates" for various hotel chains (Marriott, IHG, Hilton, Hyatt) and they'll book you the stay through their account. You can figure out which chain you'd want and then find the right thread in the Deals/Deal requests board. Good luck!

Sure - just call them
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

How do you hat tip? and while im asking what do you hat tip for?
The Baal Shem Tov went around for the sole purpose of getting Jews to say, baruch (drawing down) Hashem into our lives.

If you post a deal which then gets posted to DDMS you get a HT.

Huh?

United now credits the miles depending on how much you paid. Not what the actual flight is

Is that something recent?
