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.

Thank you so much! This was really helpful. The reason you think Chase UR is the best is because it's considered the most "liquid"? Meaning you can transfer to a larger variety of airlines?

Thank you, however, how do I create a link to go to a specific post, non only to the first page of the thread?

Sorry for my tech unsavviness...

Does the general advice that in-branch applications have easier approvals at chase apply exclusively to personal cards or biz cards as well?
I have a CFF for 3 months there as well

Is there any downside to HUCA with Chase reconsideration? Or is it just like with anything else?

Some say (may he have a speedy recovery) it's better to wait and not call.

This would depend on if he’s been declined or not.
