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, since the card number is identical.

I have a friend who is a frequent business traveller. I would like to recommend a card for him to maximize rewards earned for travel expenses and to maximize redemptions of those rewards. He has status and prefers AA/Oneworld.

What card should I recommend?
(Or should I convince him to get a combo?)

I have a $5,000 purchase I'll be making this week which leads me to a few questions.

I'm hoping to travel to Banff July 4th weekend (2019). It's VERY tentative at this point so I'm looking for the best card for flights, hotels, and car (I understand it won't be enough with just a $5,000 purchase but this will get me started) where if I don't go, points (if that's the bonus) can be saved for later. I prefer no annual fee (or one waived first year which I'd cancel during that time). Also, is it too late for a new card? Or if I get approved immediately, can they provide me a credit card number?

I've asked before about flexibility and it seemed like Southwest is a good option but they don't fly to Banff.

Thanks everyone!

Does Amazon Kindle GC work for all purchases on Amazon or only digital device?

The post you want to reply to:
 in the upper right of the box with the quote there's the word "quote".  Click "quote" and you'll get a 'Post reply' page.
write your reply in the box. (Use emojis, bold, etc).  (Add atachments as necessary)
below the box is an opportunity to "preview" your post. (It will appear above the box you've been writing in)
Then"post" your comment.

What error message do you get?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
