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.

Not even a joke. The Tapatalk search function is terrible.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Wasnt sure where to post this, so I figured that I would post this here:

I was looking for a flight from NYC- MIA/FLL for next week some time. Flights were very expensive, so I was speaking to a friend and he heard that you can show up to the airport without a flight booked and if the flight is not sold out, they would give you a good price for the flight that you showed up for.

Does anyone know if this is true or even possible?

Please advise.

Thanks.

You need to apply over the phone and have a rep change it for you.

Any particular method to have rep change name on a personal RSVP code?  Rep said name doesn't match and was not willing to change name... any best practices here?

I am not sure where to ask, but if I applied for a chase card and would like to apply for another today will they pull my credit again? I just got approved for Biz Plat 150k, Amex Hilton, SPG, Premier, and Hyatt.
