HI. I'm sure this question is answered somewhere but I have truly searched and not come up with a clear answer so SORRY in advance.
I'm trying to accumulate miles to travel to Isreal with a large family so id like the miles to be centered in one place. Ive used up all the amex offers as well s the chase sapphire, and mileage plus. looks to me that my best options remaining is investing in AA as well as avios. I understand its the same allinace but what i cant seem to figure out is iff i have aa miles and bs miles will we be able to book tickets together.
Hope this is clear and THANKS!

You can use the different miles to book the same flights.

UPDATE: I called Citi and they said they'll gladly write a cheque or give me a direct deposit once the money is posted back into my account. Thanks, everyone!

Thru aa or ba? is it better to focus more on one than the other? thanks

Can I get a Visa gift card, turn it into a debit card, then pay off my credit card bill with it?

A visa gift card is a debit card, you can load it onto a serve card and then pay your credit card bill

Don't try to load it online like a debit card, it'll freeze your account.

I know this Q is out of place, but maybe someone can help me. I want to sell someone something but they can only pay by credit card. What is the cheapest way to charge their card that I get the least percentage taken off? PayPal? Thanks in advance!

Are there any business credit cards that will let you apply for them with only a FEIN. I do not want to put in my SSN.

Pretty sure you would need an SSN at some point in application.

IINM Amazon local register should be the lowest fees. DDMS had a post about it a while back.

I was trying to get a retention offer for my Marriott rewards card.
So I pretended that I wanted to close it, the rep didn't ask me twice and just closed it, now I want to move out the credit line she says too late it's already closed.
Anything that I can do?

I think they're able to reopen it within a certain timeframe, may require HUCA

+1 and in the future you can just ask if there are any retention offers available

wow didnt know that, and what about a reversed story I once wanted to open a certain card but by mistake I submitted a app for the wrong card could I just ask them to close it right away like it was never opened?
