What is your stated business income, and what is your CL?

Considering they already cancelled applications for the Ink Plus I think that's there way of cracking down. Wouldn't surprise me to see all the Ink+ converted to Ink Preferred in the next 12 months.
Again, I don't think Chase will shut one down simply for 5x on Ink or Freedom. If the Ink use is heavy and not in line with stated income, eyes will look at the account. Spend $100/monthly at OD on a $5k Ink CL for a annual $2000 ebay business, no big deal. But spend $4k/monthly, I would expect a shut down.

Also, did you see post 656 that I referred to upthread? That poster was shut down for heavy use on Ink and Freedom (I don't think opening a few accts invisible to Chase would have triggered the shut down).
