Over a yr ago, the shutdowns were there but fairly random and not many shutdowns in general but they exist. The last few months have increased shutdowns and crackdown are no longer random as on many many accts they seem to track IP addresses, duplicate SSN and even same last names as an excuse. Any hints of suspicious activity or doing it to earn miles will trigger their attack mode these days. Amz is no longer the safe haven it use to be.
