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.

IMHO this thread should be in JS.
It is covered with nOObs post padding, asking the same question is 6 different ways repeating themselves asking can someone please answer me

Yes.
Check on the recording of the  approved CC how much is the APR %,
If it's 13.24 so it is the INK.
If it's 15.24 so it is the UA.

for your mom IMO I would say to try the SPG or the freedom among many other great cards. For more info on what cards are good for what, check out the threads stickied on the top of the credit card section.
For you look at the wiki at the top of  this thread.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Runs a huge FR risk. But if you have 99 SS#'s it's probably safer. Even so runs a big risk.

i just got a few amex cards (blue, gold, platinum) using the 3bm. I have been doing quite abit of spending on these cards at CVS with Myvanilla and netspend. Is there a limit i should do per day/week/month before either AmEx or Myvanilla/Netspend get suspicious?

My wife only has a Freedom card and I want to transfer my UR points to her. If she gets a Bold/Plus card will all her UR points be combined?

You will be able to transfer them from the freedom to the Ink

Yes.  With every Chase card you get (i.e. SP, Freedom, Ink...not United etc.) you will have a new UR account.
