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.

I have a bizPlat, everyday preferred, and a  SPG. I want to downgrade from everyday preferred to just everyday. They said if I downgrade, cant get 10k points and have to pay AF. However, not sure if I can cancel current card then re-apply and get accepted because AMEX said that I signed up for too many cards in a short period of time. Any advice? Thanks!
Not sure why but cross-posting is a serious offence.

Is there any benefit to booking an AA flight with my AA credit card, if I also have CSP and I prefer UR points to AA points? (I think I get the free bag with the AA card regardless of whether I booked the flight with that card, right?)

What is the difference between a new poll and a new topic?

One has a poll, one does not have a poll.
Both are viewed as a new topic.

What's the point of having a notification for that ? Why would CM want a notification every time someone quotes his big red "NO" ? :)

I can't imagine not having notifications. I don't read every thread but would go into if someone quoted me

How do you set notifications. I'm in tapatalk but don't have it as an option under settings.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Why would you want to do that?
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

B/c I want to rent a car but I didn't have a chance to renew it yet. I won't be able to renew it for another week.
