I'll just add a DP that I did this for over a year before getting shut down. Worth it to set up another account once a year? You bet.

Luckily, they did not freeze my money toward the end. Lucky for them, I'll just leave it at that.
I'll just say that perhaps you benefited from being one of the early practitioners of the technique.

However, companies such as PP and Amazon don't live in a bubble and have definitely shown that they can evolve as business events transpire. That includes discovering how their business model is being abused by MS techniques.

I did note that you used the word "did" which means that you had an account for a year but no longer do. Nor did you say that you were successful in opening a new account (at least for any length of time).

So my question to you is simply...are you currently running with the Square account for MSing?
And did you try to reup and were you successful or shut down in short order?

Answers to those questions will be quite useful to everyone
