Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the area. Buy an automotive dent remover. Glue on the suction cup from an automotive dent remover. Put the bar on top. Place the plates close to the small cup. Screw the center piece. Repeat as needed. Try a toilet plunger.

Answer: Some dent kits will come with a solution for cleaning. However, it's usually just isopropyl alcohol. Rub it in to the area to remove any grime. You're going to be using glue for this method, so the glue has to stick. Finishes and grime will let the glue peel right off. Cleaning it may remove the finish, so you may want to save this method for a last resort. You can find these online, at big box stores, or auto parts stores. These tools have small suction cups that you glue on to the dent with a hot glue gun. Heat up your hot glue gun. Pick a suction cup that is a bit bigger than the dent. Add a dab of glue to the cup, and place it on the dent. You can use any hot glue gun for this step, though a high temp gun may work better. The suction cup will have a screw coming off the back of it. A bar goes over it, and it has two plates on each side. Once the bar is on, add the knob that screws into the back of the suction cup. Screw it lightly into place. Don't push down too hard right now. Everything's not quite in place. Most of these tools have a way to adjust the two plates that give you leverage for pulling. Put them as close to the middle suction cup as possible. That will keep it from pulling up the metal too much on the outer edges. Now that everything's in place, all you have to do is keep screwing in the knob in the center. This process puts pressure on the suction cup, slowly pulling it out. Eventually, the whole piece will pop right off. This method will eventually lessen the ding. Unfortunately, it's not a quick process. So pull up a chair, and get comfy. You may need to repeat the process as many as ten times to make that ding less noticeable. Plan suction without glue will sometimes pull the dent out of your refrigerator. A simple suction tool is a toilet plunger. Place a (clean!) toilet plunger over the dent, and plunge away. If you're lucky, it might pop out.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exchange rewards program points for hotel stays. Stay with friends and family or ask them to help you find a place to stay. Use websites like Couchsurfing for free places to stay. Search for house-sitting gigs. Stay at a hostel for a low-cost option. Buy a time-share. Swap homes with other friends and family.

Answer: Some hotels also let you exchange frequent flyer miles for points, which in turn can be used to cover hotel costs. Even if you can't find a willing or available relative or friend, they may know someone who is perfectly willing to let you stay for a few days. There may be some conditions, but whatever arrangement you work out, like doing light housework while you're there, is probably going to be a much better deal than paying for a few nights at the nearest Hilton. If you've exhausted your own personal network, you can likely find a short-term housing solution using sites like CouchSurfing, Global Freeloader, and Hospitality Club, which specialize in connecting travelers, tourists and others in need of a place to stay with those willing to offer their residences. Keep in mind these sites do not screen those offering accommodations, though they do let travelers post their experiences with hosts staying who advertise on their sites. Do your due diligence on any potential hosts before you make travel arrangements. You'll likely have to water some plants, feed some pets, and bring in the mail periodically. But these opportunities, which you can find on a variety of regular job sites like Indeed and Craigslist, as well as niche sites like HouseSitters.com and LuxuryHousesitting.com, can save you big bucks while you explore a new city or country! Websites like Hostels.com, Hostel Worldwide, and Hostel Bookers can provide you with pricing and availability for hostels across the world. You should understand first that you'll be sharing your accommodations with other travelers and so you should prepare yourself mentally for a dormitory-style experience. Always take necessary precautions to secure your valuables and documents while living with others. While this costs some money upfront, a fully paid off timeshare will allow you to avoid paying housing costs. Moreover, some timeshare contracts allow you to rent out your property to others seeking low-cost housing accommodations. It's possible for a savvy individual to cover most or even all of their timeshare purchase costs by renting out their property during peak vacation times. Perhaps you have a home in a location a friend of yours wants to visit, and they have one in a place you'd like to spend your next vacation. Call them up and coordinate your calendars. Voila you've just saved yourself a boatload of money!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Protect treated areas from the sun. Don't use any harsh cleansers or exfoliants. Eat a well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water. Refrain from smoking. Avoid steam and saunas. Touch treated areas as little as possible.

Answer: After being treated with glycolic acid, your skin will be very sensitive as it renews its outer layer. While it heals, keep your face out of direct sunlight as much as possible, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day whether you'll be in the sun or not. When washing your face, avoid any strong cleansers or harsh soaps. Consider using a non-soap cleanser like cleansing oil or soap with a pH of less than 7. You should also steer clear of any exfoliants or scrubs, which can damage your healing skin. Eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated will encourage your skin to heal faster after your peel. It will also give your skin a healthy glow. If you are a smoker, do your best to cut back or stop altogether for a couple weeks after your treatment. This will help your skin heal faster. Hot steam may irritate your skin while it heals. You should refrain from using saunas or hot tubs, or taking especially long showers or baths. As with any sort of healing, you will heal much faster and reduce the risk of infection if you refrain from picking, peeling or touching your treated skin.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for offers in your email or your mailbox. Review the offer. Research cards personally. Be wary of retailer credit card offers. Fill out the application.

Answer:
Credit card companies like to advertise, and you might be advised that you are "pre-screened" or "pre-approved" for credit. This means that the card company has reviewed your financial data and targeted you as an ideal applicant. Getting a pre-approved offer means that a credit card company has already looked at your credit score, borrowing history, and other details. The offer may also be customized for your age, income bracket, or personal interests. Pre-screened cards are almost always approved but not necessarily with the APR and terms advertised in the mail-out. Some companies also advertise with "Invitations to Apply." These offers are not pre-approved and are not firm offers of credit. You may be denied. Make sure to look over the offer and all the terms. Unlike at a bank, you won't be able to ask someone about these details in person. Read the offer carefully and especially for fees, interest rates, and minimum payments. Unfortunately, credit card scams are common. Be sure that you recognize the company. Don't fall for promises that you'll get a credit card if you have poor credit and never pay anything up front. Find a card that works for you. Look for rewards programs and perks that you can use, consider how widely retailers will accept the card, and read the fine print.\ You can also take the initiative and look for cards on your own. This will allow you to shop with companies like Capital One, Chase, Citibank, and Discover, compare perks and details, and inform yourself more widely. There are now online resources that bring together cards so you can review them and shop for the best option. These sites also let you select your preferences, whether a low APR, a travel points program, or cash back offer. Look for cards that target your credit situation or age. For example, you can search for cards that are good for students or seniors or even cards for certain professional organizations. Some department stores and retailers offer consumer credit cards and will give you a sales pitch at the checkout counter. Sounds too easy? It may be. Consider the terms carefully before signing up. Store credit cards often carry high interest rates and give less perks than normal credit cards. They may also not be accepted as widely. A store card can work for you if used wisely, however. For instance, you can benefit from discount offers if you shop at the store regularly or make big-ticket purchases there. A store credit card or gas station credit card can also help to build up your credit if you make your payments on time. If you decide to get one of these cards, be sure to pay off charges immediately to avoid the higher interest rate. Whether online, in-person, or by mail, make a formal application once you've decided on a card that works for you. Again, give correct details about you and your financial situation. Email offers will come with a link to the online application. You can also call the toll-free number or fill out the paper application if your offer came in the mail. Provide any offer codes when you apply for the card. Most letters or emails will have a code including letters and numbers to access the specific offer made to you.
