May need to stay under the radar for a little bit, I have a 20K line and have been pushing between 10-12K/mo for the past couple months.
My scenario was the same as far as the charges go. I'll be charging to the same place over and over again, and they'll finally flag it for "fraud" a month later. I get an e-mail, I click the option that says "I approve these charges" wait a few hours, try again, and I'm STILL shutdown. Cap1's system is completely broken. I've never been able to get the fraud lifted on my own. I call and tell them the automatic system doesn't work, but it doesn't do anything.
