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.

Can new users create new topics right away?
It's not like other forums that actually have the first posts moderated

The "new" downgraded card does not result in a credit pull.

I'm very curious what percentage of first posts are new topics.

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

You can PM anybody. If they don't want you PMing them, they'll ignore you or ask you not to PM them any more. (If they tell you that, it's probably best to listen, or you can be banned for  harassment.)
Don't worry, we don't bite. :) Most people will be happy to help you, (as long as you don't ask about the UPS method ).

The next person who mentions the UPS method should be taken out back and shot mercilessly.

If I book revenue tickets for someone else on my CC, are they eligible for travel insurance benefits provided by my CC?

You can just add them as an AU to be safe.

If you were going to pick one CC for automatic payments due to the biller giving a 2% discount, taking an AF (or not) into consideration, which top 3 CCs would you choose in order of priority?
