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.

Bump
Not sure where else to post this ... Canceled two paid tickets on AA (party of 4) due to hospitalization of 1 of the passengers (grandmother), plus her caretaker.  CSR told me that in order to then request a refund, I needed to email AA through the customer service portal online.

Anyone know of a quicker, more efficient way to ensure a refund, and also to provide the doctor's note that I have?  I have a feeling the portal will result in a form letter apologizing but saying there's nothing they can do.

Thanks

Maybe he thought here was a better place.  ;)
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Is there any way to "mute" certain threads to keep them from showing up on my Recent Unread Posts?

There was an "ignore" option. I don't see it anymore
If there are no boxes:
Profile > account settings > look and layout.  Scroll to the bottom -  Show quick-moderation as  *checkboxes*

Do you see the "ignore topic" button on top of a thread or board ?

Just became a Chase Private Client.  Would it be better for me to apply in a branch or online? I am way over 5/24
