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.

You were right about most of the cards, but the gold has no fee.

I would go for the higher card and better sign up bonus but I would want to avoid risky moves

You mean no risk if it's the 2nd year right?

Also is it the same for the Chase United card?

Why do you want to do that?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

If you don't know anything about the matter, just don't post. To the OP, you can PM a mod, or open a new account, although technically the latter is against forum rules.

How can you see the historical price of an item on Amazon to know if it is the lowest price ever offered on Amazon?

Input the item number from the Amazon URL, or the exact name of the item.

If you don't know anything about the matter, just don't post.
I must have this thread confused with the one you can ask questions in.

Just wanted to confirm, if I transfer Amex to Qantas, can I book a flight for someone else even if I am not taking the flight? Meaning book a flight for a random person not associated with the account without me booking for myself.
