Now, from a FlyerTalk perspective, we have this:
"Deceptive, Dishonest, Illegal Or Fraudulent Posting
Posts that misquote or mischaracterize other posts or members, or contain deceptive, dishonest or knowingly inaccurate information are not allowed.
Supporting, encouraging or promoting illegal activity or fraud upon an individual or company is prohibited."
Wow you are really over reacting ..
First, there is nothing “deceptive, dishonest, illegal or fraudulent” in the posting. Discussing how AMEX will stop this is NOT supporting this, this is just a simple discussion of their rules, or rather the problem of their rules.
Like you said, you *suspect Amex will prosecute or shut down accounts. But the discussion is on, how would AMEX know. Or how will Amex differentiate one really accidental drops his phone into the lake, or one just prefer to go through purchase protection rather than return protection. Because the current rules and limits (300 vs 10,000) does somehow give people incentives to do so.
