wrong. it's completely responsive. every issuer has a history of closing accounts for MS. it's also VERY VERY dependent upon your history, length of credit, income etc. iow, the question in nonsensical for any detail as it is ymmv.
the only issuer who didn't have a history was amex- who just did anal probes (FR). but that changed with OBC where they shut all cards on some when closing.
there's nowhere to hide. it's like being a corner drug dealer- eventually you're gonna get caught if you're doing any volume.
