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.

Book the room under your account. Then call to add as a second guest.
Thanks! Will that always work?

I don't know about always, but usually it's fine. There are specific locations that give issues though.

I think this question gets the reward for "the most asked Q on DDF".

Hi Admins,

I signed up for those big Amex spend / Signup bonuses and am now stuck trying to get to the spend threshold. Any ideas?

In NY ConEd can be paid with a cc for free and National Grid for $1.85 for  a $1300 payment.  Prepay  your bill.  Prepay your Mom's bill and have her pay you out as she  uses the electric and gas.
Prepay your grocer. Pesach is coming!
You'll need the cashflow to pay this out.  You can do this over the 3 months allotted to do the big spend.
I just helped you spend    $5000.    ($1500 + $1300 + $1200 ??)
