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 just found out (at CVS ) that my license expired. Will CVS take my passport as ID?

For scanning purposes it won't work.

IME no. As pointed out above it doesn't scan. Which is what cvs does to enforce the 2K daily limit,they're not just matching name to cc like most stores do.

I've opened many. What do you need in a bank account?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Just something that I can transfer money to and use to pay bills.

Open a fidelity cash management account. Good limits, pretty decent customer service, and pretty few fees. (No foreign atm fees, no forex fees, no transfer fees, free checks, no bill pay fees, ect.)

That's usually why I open them; when that's what they're offering.
