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'm purchasing an item and I put in the wrong billing address, will the charge go through?
I generally find that as long as the zip is correct it works.

Basically, I'm trying to buy something online. It says billing address and shipping address must match. But I want to ship it to a different address. If I put in that other address for my billing address will the charge go through? Both addresses are different states...

All depends on the company you are ordering from and which cc.

Usually you need at least the right zip, if not more, for the charge to go through. One possible option for you would be to change the billing address on the card to the shipping address that you want.

Sure. As long as you don't overdo it, it should be completely fine.

When you book flights you usually get a break booking farther out. Are there any set points were the prices go up like at 21, 14 and 7 days?

I have heard that the best time to buy a ticket (is on a glitch ) is 4 to 6 weeks b4 the flight but I don't know specifics.

I am looking at a flight that is 10 days out. I want to know when it hits 7 or less days should I expect the price to go up?
