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 am not sure where to ask, but if I applied for a chase card and would like to apply for another today will they pull my credit again? I just got approved for Biz Plat 150k, Amex Hilton, SPG, Premier, and Hyatt.
Keep in mind the 5/24 rule depending on what you're applying for.

Do they offer free bassinet and is it located the same way as coach? Basically, in front of our seat?

If it's available on the flight you flying then you can get it. But you have to pay 10% of the fare for the infant.

I was already under that rule.  I was not able to get my sapphire this time around anyway.

Not sure where to ask this, so I'm doing it here.
I'm iyh booking travel to Israel now with a pregnant DW bh, so I'm wondering if I should be cautious and get travel insurance mainly for health insurance. What does everyone here think? And does booking the flight on a chase sapphire proffered card help at all? TIA

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

If an El Al voucher says that it is only valid for the named recipient, is it only valid for the named recipient? Thanks.

CMIIW but I thought that US based companies are not allowed to consider pregnancy as a pre-existing condition. In that case, shouldn't they cover?

You can definitely make some calls and see if anyone has something to offer you. It's probably worth having it to be safe. Saphire card probably won't help at all for that.

Don't believe that's true. I definitely got when my wife was pregnant and they have a limit to how far into the pregnancy and maybe it's more the farther she is. But I've called another place on another trip and they also had a plan for someone that's pregnant.
