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.

Just to clarify, no one has anything against BH per se CH"V. People just get annoyed at any irrelevant information that gets put into a post unnecessarily. For examples run a search for "drop the Sig"..

I did, and that explains why YOU do it. My post explained why OTHERS find the practice annoying...

hmmm nothing is coming up. I seem to remember back in the olden days when cellphones would automatically attach a sig to every post "This post has been sent from my uber-cool cellphone" and people would get uber-annoyed.

AFAIK the invite doesn't help but shouldn't be too difficult to get approved. what's your credit history
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

No. Keep in mind if it's the PRG it's a one-time bonus.

You need to apply over the phone and have a rep change it for you.

Course you can. Whether you're eligible to apply for a card doesn't change depending if you apply online or over the phone.

IIRC if you're under 21 you can't apply over the phone.
