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.

When you start filtering, things fall through the cracks. Bottom line is, if you want specific deals, you should sift through em all

Whose paying for the upkeep of the site to post these smoking hot deals, and the upkeep of the forums to source them from?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

The problem is that only mods can post ( if they remember ) meaning that you'll miss plenty of them.

Considering that his point of comparison is DDMS which not even all mods can post on he will still be a step ahead.

We're supposed to notify mods as soon as there's a sizzling deal so it could be posted there.

Dan has an interest in posting a deal on DDMS, when there is a glitch etc. there's a new thread. The chances that someone will update this thread is pretty slim.

I guess what I am saying is that there should be a special email alert you can sign up for that only alerts you over airfare and nothing else....

When a cc company gives u perks for example a travel credit, is it because they charging you for it some other way or to promote you to get the card and the charge is for some other reason?
If u answer that it's for the perks, then you would agree that transferring credit to get back ur annual fee is wrong. Correct?
Or where did I go wrong.
