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 asked this in the past, and nobody seemed to know the answer. Maybe this time will be better. :)
Whenever I open a thread that has a wiki, the wiki is open, necessitating extra scrolling. How can I change this? Thanks.
Ime once I minimize it once in one thread it stays minimized. Same the other way

Yes, it would be a price adjustment. And Amazon stopped doing price adjustments in May.

Why not return and reorder?

Sure. As long as it's a covered item.

The UA club pass needs a boarding pass for that day, but it could be for any airline, correct?

What type of room upgrade can be expected at Andaz 5th Ave with guest of honor booking? What type of breakfast is included?
Is the water, pop, beer and liquor in the room free?

Though you should also know it's called "soda". Pop is a word that hasn't been used in a while.

He's only walking around the NY area. If you cross over the Hudson, I think you just fall off the edge of the world.

You file a price match with Expedia. They refund the difference and give you a coupon. If you cancel the hotel reservation do you lose the coupon? Can two coupons be used on the same reservation?

I dont recommend  dealing with Expedia BRG, one of the least reputable. But to answer your Q, you get the coupon only after the stay and there is a minimum price that they can be used on and you cannot combine them. They may have changed the terms since then though.
