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.

I wish i can **** down every single td . i have such hate for them. this is not the first time i got extremely screwed by them. They have horrible CS and are a disastrous bank. Almost like the wal mart version of banks.
Why don't you get back at them, use and abuse their card (the six month unlimited 5%) and tell everyone you know to use it...

One bag was put on a later flight and it was delivered the next day. Any compensation for this? It was with UA.

When you open "show new replies to your posts", check the box of the topic your want to ignore, then on the top right side click "ignore topic"

Profile > account settings > ignore topics options
If there are no boxes:
Profile > account settings > look and layout.  Scroll to the bottom -  Show quick-moderation as  *checkboxes*

How does buying a hertz voucher from a ddfer work? And how does it itself work?
I'm not who you think I am.
