2500-665=1835

1835/5 = 3.56%

Not worth taking risk of shut down, points loss, CL lost, victim of fraud activity, and may be bad mark on credit report.......

For some anything is better than nothing. When they realize being in a circle the justification is at east had fun!
If u are not in a circle u can reach somewhere......
The risks you've outlined are inherent with many different credit cards and many different MSing techniques. In fact there are no guarantees whatsoever in MS land.

Also, you should know some people are lucky enough (myself for instance) to be able to MS with this card in a 5% category at no cost to myself whatsoever. That whole YMMV thing.
