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.

And If I want to book an avios ticket and need both accounts, can I use both accounts?
I'm fairly sure NOT,  But you can combine the 2 accounts (after you get your new bonus).

and how do I go about that?

Just call them up and tell them I have multiple accounts and I want to merge?

Is that not shady? Will they question?

I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere.... Sry. I have the Delta gold card and and I know that I, and companions on my reservation, get first checked bag free. However, if I book a new ticket (new reservation) for someone else on the card, will they/can they get the free bag too? (They want to be on my flight, if that helps.)

I think not.  After you make the reservation, see if they can link them.  Maybe that would help? Comments from those with more info?

Just write your own letter. What is the issue with doing that?

I applied for Chase Ink card and got pending approval.  When I called recon they told me I need to stop into a local branch and present either Drivers License/Tax ID/ Documentation for business. What would be the reason for this? Can I get around this over the phone?

Did you apply as Sole Proprietor? If yes, then HUCA and tell them it's a sole proprietorship and you don't have a tax ID.

I did apply as sole proprietor and I tried to HUCA and second rep also told me the same thing...I can go into the branch with either one of those documents...I do have a drivers license but I much rather do it over the phone.

Not a big deal if you live close to a  chase bank, they just want to make sure that you are the one that applied.

I signed up as an LLC in January and did HUCA 3x over that day and day after when calling chase biz recon.

SAME PERSON ANSWERED

There was no hope.

You think I can call now for an app that was submitted mid-jan with an LLC in lieu of a sole proprietor
