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.

I sent my wife to buy a couple of $500 gift cards and told her to send me a picture of it before she buys it. Of course she didnt and they were vanilla visa gift cards. I know I cant load those to serve is there any other way to unload them without taking a loss?
they load fine at FD. (though some reported issues, i make sure not to leave the store before i get the email)

Also, be happy that your wife helps you in this game. Dont put her down, she's just trying to help.

I'm booking tickets for a friend. If I use my credit card (Chase Sapphire Preferred). If his bags are delayed etc... would he be able to claim insurance from chase? Or does he need to an additional cardholder? Would a different credit card be better I.e. Amex?
Thanks

Gift cards at Walmart

Was at Walmart earlier. I always bought gift cards for MS for cards with no bonus from here like SPG. Anyway I was not able to use my SPG card to buy a gift card. Anyone else have a similar experience? Is this new?

Did you try another card or check for a fraud alert?

It was weird because I got a fraud alert and called in and said it was ok and tried again and it still didn't go. Then I tried with my Amex PRG and also wasn't going through and no fraud alert
