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.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Part 2:
for some reason I got 2 plum cards with different numbers and account numbers. The names are the same on each card except one shows member since 15 and one 16

Q: I activated one through the app and one through the phone system, is is possible to have 2 plum accounts for one business or was this just a glitch and since EIN/ss  is the same they will cancel one? Should I call CS and ask them?

(Sorry for the "megilla")

Yes it's possible. Don't call. Enjoy your 2nd card and extra sign up bonus.

Why not?
A $250 AF after the first year, and besides for that, it's a waste of valuable space in the sock drawer.

Nope. They stay in the box under the bed.

If I bought something on amazon, does the shipping fees count for spending 60$ to get back 15$?
