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.

Copy & paste between tabs. If it's the most recent posts in that thread you could scroll down & "insert quote".

This discussion is painful to watch. Please just do a slate balance transfer and don't get into credit card debt with stacks of GC's you don't know what to do with, huge credit card bills, and the original credit card debt still there.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

that's a pretty fatalistic attitude. I'm not interested in what not to do. I'm looking for what to do. Since we're in the newbie forum, maybe you could throw me a bone and explain how I can pay off my credit card balance with a gift card or red card. No offense intended, but I think your "pain" is slightly over critical
