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.

Hi,
Where can I found the cheapest flight round trip from New York (any airport) to Cancun.
The dates are Aug 3- Aug 9.
I would also be willing to fly out on Aug 2.
The cheapest I found with stop is around 499.
I also checked british airways but there doesnt seem to be availability for flights for points.

What is my best option?
Should I wait to see if there are more british airways availability or should I book the 500 flight?
Thank you in advance for your help!

You are probably best off posting it in one of the sticky threads in the Up in the Air board.

If you're looking to book with avios, you can first find flight on AA. Then call BA with flight info and they should be able to book for you.

Is this your first Amex card?

Applying for the Everyday and SPG will most likely result in a 5 day hold on the 2nd application due to the fact that they are both credit cards and not charge cards. Stick to 1 credit card and as many charge cards as you'd like.

Thanks, does this advice go if I would do Everyday, Citi Thank You Preferred and Amex Biz Platinum as well?
