This is not getting shut down outright, but managing the risk of getting shut down.
It all depends on the card product and bank. There are certain banks that don't flag cycling that I cycle many times every month. On the other hand, there are banks that do flag cycling and will shut you down after a few months of just 3x cycling. The same applies for anything. There are banks that will accept unlimited MO deposits, and there are banks that will shut you down for just about nothing.
