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.

If I close 2 cards at Chase to reduce my CL, how long does it take for it to be reported to the credit bureaus?

Did something change about the way AA flights are booked with Avios? I'm looking for flights NYC-YUL and no AA flights are showing up.

You have sort of opposite philosophy, if I may say..

To write a negative comment you don't need a special reason, but for a positive one you do????

I think its the other way around..

Do Amex business cards also offer the credit score amex has recently rolled out?

2. which amex card is best to apply for (maybe multiple with 3BM)

Does anyone have a code to increase bonus?
