I just tried using a Starwood AMEX to buy US Savings bonds. </font>
I just called Starwood AMEX - the CSR tells me that the I-Bond purchases would be coded as cash advances, and wouldn't authorize me to purchase more than my cash advance limit.

This doesn't seem right, given this discussion thread. Is the info. in this thread still correct, i.e. these purchases are not cash advances and the limit is the Amex credit limit or $30K per person/per year?
