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.

+1. Just an FYI though, make sure that the setting 'When sending notification of a reply to a topic, send the post in the email (but please don't reply to these emails.)' is checked on this page.

Btw, what other features become enabled as you make more posts? Or is the ability to start a new topic the only one?

Yeah, finally after posting 20 silly questions across various threads for this purpose, I have willfully reached the 25 post milestone allowing me to post my own thread.

Now how do I make that winky face here?

What chase personal cards can and can not be downgraded to a freedom card?

When a card is downgraded the original account is still kept in tact correct? i.e. I have an old card with good history that will stay even though the card was downgraded.

Can the MPE card be downgraded. It's my oldest card and seems like it is very hard to churn...
