Excellent. Everyone should be required to pay a test on this information before being allowed to start new threads

Except some of the information is incorrect.

As is usually the case in these types of guides, but they are helpful nonetheless

How does one calculate APR on a monthly rate? I want to determine if it would be cheaper to cover the balance through paypaling from another CC (3%) or just leaving the balance on that card.

(assuming APR is 25%)

What is the minimum eGift Card on Amazon?  It used to be $0.50, no?  It is telling me $1 minimum now.

I need a quick answer on this.  Anyone out there know?

When  I tried to load to my own gift card balance, it said no minimum amount.  I did $0.50, but now it won't allow anything less than $100!

Are the aadmiral passes worth much? Do I need it to get into a lounge if I have the aaviator card?

You can probably sell them for a few bucks, but not worth gold. Yes, aviator will not grant you access.

I'm thinking to sign up for a delta cc, any reason to go for the platinum over the gold? I'd rather not pay an annual fee if I don't have to. For 10k extra miles I'm not sure it's worth it.

Why not get both and then downgrade the plat so you get the AF prorated back?

Balance transfer question:

I have a chase cc balance of $8k and owe someone $5k. I want to combine the 2 using the Chase slate, but can't pay back a person using the Slate (without having to pay a fee for an access check) or transfer balance from Chase to chase.

My idea: pay off the guys cc bills with the Chase Slate balance transfer for  ($8k plus $5k =) $13k and have him pay the $8k cc balance off and the rest he'll keep as his payment.

Is there anything I'm missing that could get either of us into a mess?

Can someone with a $13K cc balance really pay your $8K cc bill?  will he?

He has a busness and does a ton on credit card. That wouldn't be an issue.
