I suppose I could call before I make the second charge and see what/if there are any repercussions. I have no history of credit cycling with Amex otherwise.
i have seen people who done it with no issues and people who gotten their accounts shut down. i heard amex is touchy about this. coupled with the fact that you are paying down $30k twice doesnt seem like a good idea to me.
