historically, we have seen this exact same pattern play out all the time.

amex is like a major influencer. redirecting their consumer base to "attack" retailers. amex is prob having a good time showing off their locust swarm.

saks / dell / sears / staples / hilton etc - all canceling orders and pulling GCs.

hilton GC is just a recent example, but dell xbox was huge. tons of canceled orders.

im gonna wait until this circus dies down. oura is scrambling. sold out products. canceling orders. amex CC not working. same w/ LLL.
Definitely some truth here.

Funny thing is I had zero issues with Lululemon. Order went through, showed up on tracker a couple days later, $75 credit showed up a day after that. Product already arrived.
