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.

60 days after fee posts for automatic refund.
Does it matter if you are in the second or third or longer year?

I asked this in the past, and nobody seemed to know the answer. Maybe this time will be better. :)
Whenever I open a thread that has a wiki, the wiki is open, necessitating extra scrolling. How can I change this? Thanks.

Anyone know of a way (if it is via ITA or Google Flights please explain) in order to input Airport A and a distance (i.e. 7000 miles) and it shows you a perimeter of airports within that distance from Airport A?

ITA

Put in airports, select nearby on the right of the airport box, and it'll allow you to select a radius.

IINM it varies a lot depending on which airline/hotel you use it at, but I'm no expert. I'll leave it to the pros to answer...
FWIW brokers pay about 1.1-1.2 for TY points.
