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.

If I want to use my BA Avios to book for a relative, can I just go through reg way of booking ticket, or no... I can always transfer UR to his account, but I'd prefer to use my Avios...

If I don't pay my CC on it's due date & enjoy a 0% APR, would it affect my credit score in any negative way?

Assuming you make the minimum payment you should be fine.

Protip: not a smart idea to get into.

Not really - You will still have a high credit utilization issue.

That doesn't have to do with not paying your bill in full (other than the fact that the more you don't pay the more stays utilized).

The Baal Shem Tov went around for the sole purpose of getting Jews to say, baruch (drawing down) Hashem into our lives.

are there any tax ramifications if I sign up for a business card under my real business? Do I have to report it or it has nothing to do with anything?

  The money you spent on the card for the calendar year because it is associated with your ein number

Well if you use it for business expenses, then why wouldn't you report it?

But if for regular daily spending no need to.
