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.

Usually it does come up as a link
But when it doesn't, quoting usually does the trick.

"Links to competing sites are not allowed."

If someone asks a question, and there's a good article/post about the topic on another deal/miles blog, am I allowed to post a link to it?
Can I copy/paste the info? With attribution? Without?
Thanks.

Thanks, but no answer there. I'm not asking about spamming; I'm asking about a legitimate discussion.

If i booked eight united tickets and credited then all to my mpx, what'll that get me in terms of status? I realize not much, but my mpx landing page says 4 more legs till the next level. I've never credited a flight to this one, so I'm wondering what that is.

If its more than a few hours since you posted it you'll need to "report to moderator"
