I figure that’ll give me the best chance of keeping something alive. At the very least, it’ll give enough different DPs to see what works to avoid shutdown.
I’ve got P2-6 lined up as a backup in case my SSN gets blocked and everything gets closed.
I highly doubt the old strategy would work with another shutdown. I think any active cards (up to 6 months) would be shut-down. The only way to avoid is not to use it for, say, 1 year or so. How can you predict the incoming shut-down?
