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 want to book a 5 night stay at an SPG property. One of the 5 nights is sold out.

Is there anyway to get them to open up that one night? If yes/no, would status help?

(I have no idea where to post that question. If someone has a better thread for it, please post.)
Thank you

How do you know what your score is?

You want to know specifically him or just want to know how to do it?

Many banks give it you with your approval letter.

Specifically him/her.  Am well aware that it is possible to get a real score, just trying to identify if his/hers was real or CK or ~ to help answer the question.

Is it possible to change the address where the card comes to after you are approved before the card comes?

I was going to send you here or here, but now I see TimT, beat me to it already.  Is your card a Barclay or Discover or one of the others that lets you check your score whenever you want?

Thanks for the help. No it is just a Wells Fargo visa credit card.
