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.

What are the main differences between Serve and BB? Which one would you recommend for a beginner?

After reading up on Serve and BB, I can't help but wonder if there's isn't an easier method. This all sounds so complicated, with new accounts, buying, loading, transferring, etc. Its a bit overwhelming. What would happen if I sent money to an account through paypal as goods/service, from my CC? Would that work like Amazon Payment?

PayPal charges fees.... Negates the value of the points

true... I think I'll start out with Amazon Payment for now and see how that works. It seems simpler to me.

There are (Average) 398 new post a day. http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?action=stats
Still curious about PM's.
That average is being dragged down by the first few years of the forums existence. Look at the "Forum History" at the bottom of the page and you'll see that the current average is more like 850 posts per day.

Do you mean something like this?

Quote
You could get a lower price on purchases you make with your Citi Executive ® / AAdvantage ® World Elite™ MasterCard ® , even after you buy them. Just register your eligible items with Citi ® Price Rewind – the complimentary service that tracks the price of your purchases for 30 calendar days and refunds you the difference if a lower price of at least $25 is found.

It's easy to get started: 1. Start a Price Rewind. Register your purchase at Citi Price Rewind and it will search hundreds of retailers' sites to see if there is a lower price

2. Get the difference back. If a lower price by at least $25 is found within 30 calendar days from the date of purchase, you can get back the difference – up to $250 per item and $1,000 per calendar year¹
