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.

Move on ? Did you do anything that might have triggered it ?

18
But till they are 21 they can't report household income on their applications. So he would need his own income to report.


You can add him as an AU (on amex) starting at 16.

In the search, you can narrow down which username to look through--type in your username.

Type his name in the search for  field, and dealfinder85 in the by user field.

ETA: Will only work if you quoted him.

I'm gonna have a lot of travel expenses coming up. If I'm booking thru TA is the CSP more worthwhile than the  PRG?

PRG is only 3x on airline tickets not on all travel.
SP is 2x on all travel.

I've never had to do gift cards for a minimum spend but it seems i might have to now. Being that this is new to me. what is the best website to buy $500 gift cards on line that can be cashed out as debit cards?
preferably without having to call up to get a PIN. TIA

How much time can be in between applications for them to be merged into 1 pull?
