I plan to buy 13-18k in one day with my amex cards, it's about 40-%60% of the total credit line I have for my amex cards. my question is that if I do this 4-5 times a month will they shutdown my accounts? I only joined this forum for about a month and never heard about amex shutdowns. and if I pay my bills as soon as they post it, will I still get FR?

CVS registers are hard coded to halt you at 5k per rolling 24 hours, so not sure about your claim. However, doing 13-18k trans 4-5x a months is likely to get your acct some attn for sure, but give it a shot and let us know how it goes in a few months
