I'm not a MSer but I've been seeing a bunch of stuff on various blogs about card companies getting more aggressive with shut downs. Is this a known no no? If not appropriate for this thread, is there another forum for this sort of questions?
Buying gift cards will not be a problem with Chase as long as you don't exceed your credit limit or go near the category bonus cap. If you're just doing it to meet your spend requirement it's fine.
