I have read the thread above and several people have had their account shut off. Is it woth the risk? Thoughts?
Go for it. Did the same with my $5K limit new one and got the bonus. My son had a $2K limit Delta one which we maxed out on coins and paid off and after the 60 days they raised his limit to $6K for "responsible" use.
