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.

for a yeshiva bocher

It probably depends if the yeshiva bochur looks and acts like one, or looks like an american without all the "stick it in your face" yeshivishe look.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

I posted a deal in deals/deals request, and 10 min later it was added to DDMS, but I did not receive the Hat Tip for some reason. How do I get credit for it?

It was not posted on DDMS by Dan but rather by JJ. Does that make a difference?

No it doesn't make a difference. Just curious which deal was this?

There's a thread in js where you can put in your request AFAIK Dan follows the thread and will update your hat tops accordingly

If I ordered something from City Sports and then realized there was an offer on my amex card for it, is there anyway to still get the credit?  Has anyone had any success doing this? The item has shipped already but the charge is still pending on my card.

Thanks!

This may have been answered already. Chat or call Amex. They will likely credit you.

Does having a United Explorer card give you standard business/first award availability as long as there is a seat?

Any seat, any time, on United-operated flights
Primary Cardmembers can use their miles to book any available seat, any time, on United-operated flights when they redeem miles at the MileagePlus Standard Award level. There are no limitations, no restrictions and no blackout dates on available seats if you provide your MileagePlus number before starting the award booking process.

Call the # on the back of your card... As long as you already have a ba account. Have your executive number ready

You can do it transfer them online from your Chase account, works instantly. Then book the flight from your BA account.
