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.

Is there a whatsapp group a newbie like myself could get on? Mostly interested in mile transferring value (which cards to which airline), and best credit card offers at various times...

Thanks!

Why do people prefer to pay their credit cards through bank bill pay services over linking their bank account to the card and having the card pull the payment via ACH?

I prefer pulling from CC issuers website as most often it clears the CL immediately.

If I closed a CSP that I purchased a computer on, can I reactivate that card to get the extended warranty benefit back?

http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/61695

"Proprietary credit card point programs (American Express Membership Rewards, Barclays Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, Chase Ultimate Rewards) do not expire as long as you keep at least one card open that is enrolled in their respective program. Some programs store points individually under each card account, so be sure to transfer points from that card account to another account before cancelling that card."

I once played around with the numbers which represent date/time and got some interesting stuff.

Had to cancel a Delta ticket. Did not receive a cancelation email. Any way to make sure the ticket is canceled online?
