I just received a NEW SPG AmEx card with 3k limit. I need to hit 15k in 6 months to get 15k SPG points. So I called amex and told them I needed more credit, and I was told that I can make multiple 3k purchases as long as I make payments and bring my balance to 0 all within the same billing cycle. The rep even told me that would look good to amex and would show them I am good for the CL.

I have read the thread above and several people have had their account shut off. Is it woth the risk? Thoughts?
