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.

Is there a difference between: "account", "login" or "username"?
In regards to opening multiple accounts/logins/usernames for my primary/secondary cards on amex?

You need to enter your "username " (and password) to "login" to your "account". How's that ? :)

I have the Cap1 quicksilver card (for Uber) and I've been trying to leave $1 balance when the statement closes to improve my credit. However, they keep crediting the $1 as a 'balance adjustment' and closing my statement at $0!

What should I do, leave a $2 balance?

Dumb question: fidelity amex is same pull as others, right? I can't think of a reason why not, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I signed up for a BA card a little over a year ago.

If i cancel my card, how can I receive the new signup bonus?

Can I signup with a new FFN to receive the new bonus?

If not, what should i do to in order to get the bonus?

Are you talking about which CRA they pull? If so IIRC it is serviced by FIA Card Services (BOA) so it will be different.
