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.

No. How should the mods know when you get interested again ? That's what ignore is for.

Is there a way to see a list of "Unread posts in threads that I've ignored"?

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

If there would be a setting to bypass "ignore" when the person posts again in that thread. Seems simple enough, but IDK anything about coding...

I would think it could be a setting, not involving the mods.

Once I post in a thread, that thread will always pop up in "Show new replies...", unless I "Ignore" the thread. But if I do that, then when I post in that thread a year later, I don't see the replies, because it's in "Ignorance mode". So of course I can "Unignore" it. But is there a simpler way to set this up, i.e. to stop seeing replies until I post again in that thread? Thanks.
Discussed a little here. http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=51988.msg1341647#msg1341647

Can I downgrade a co-branded card to a regular- such as a Southwest to a freedom?

How about one co-branded card to another?
I want to change a BA into a United.  Or a Slate into a United.
Is it possible?

CC/DC/cash usually works, but YMMV.

I don't know what happens if you're a member who uses a cash card.
I've been a non-member using a cash card bough on someone else's account. They don't allow me to do returns.  The member has to do it for me. (and I think they got a new cash card or actual cash back.)
