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.

Can the MPE card be downgraded. It's my oldest card and seems like it is very hard to churn...
Yes.
My mother has a UA card that earns 1 mile per 2 dollars spent. No annual fee. Downgraded from regular UAMPE.

Cool. Thank you!

So does downgrading all my cards before a churn make sense? i.e. I am applying for a SP and MPE so I will downgrade all my current ones of those.

If I have one email address connected to two different chase checking accounts where does money go to and from when QP'ing?
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

I don't think the email on file has anything to do with your qp email address. CMIIW.

So when someone wants to QP me...which account will it go into?  The main (and only) thing you need is email address.

When you activate your account for QP, you have to link it to a email address.
It wont allow you to link it to an address already taken.
Your contact email on file for chase.com has nothing to do with QP.

Really?

It seems that meshugener agrees with me

Thanks.  Can the email address connected to QP ever be changed?

I applied and was approved for two chase personal cards on April 28th (around 7 weeks ago). I am now interested in applying for the Chase Ink Bold and Ink Plus (2BM) Business card.

Is this advisable or do i need to wait more time to apply for another card from chase?

I have these 2 active cards with chase and one citi card. I have have a 15-20 year credit history and have excellent credit.

Please advise.
To the nOObs out there, feel free to PM with q's. #AlwaysTakesTheHighRoad #LovesHashTags

Depends on your morals, but you can I think morally put down however much money is donated to the kolel every year.

thanx.
Fair warning- if you have to go to reconsideration, they may ask you what the total profit is, just have a story ready.
