Question: do we have confirmed reports of debit online loads up to 1k per month counting? Mine were but now I'm not sure.

Pardon my ignorance, is this when you initiate transfers from the Suntrust site? All my transfers are initiated from a diff bank where I send the money to ST (Cap360) and I've never been charged a fee.

Good to know. I take it if I do a few more transactions this month and then still cancel by the end of the month, I will still get the miles? Or I wonder if Cancel then they won't give the miles, so maybe better to cancel after 8/6 or so when miles transfer.

I'm still a bit nervous about doing the below plan after the 25th and risking closure/clawback. But, I'm going to! Anyone else going for it?
My plan is to call ST after July 25th (after staging >25k in my acct) and asking to upgrade to the signature product that will allow 4k max per month. All I ever wanted was a VISA to earn Skymiles for places that don't accept amex. I am quite nervous they will close my account upon request as I do not live in a ST state. I hope not. I would think I'm a pretty good customer for them. I swipe my debit daily for minor purchases (my company cafe doesn't accept amex) and I keep a hefty balance. Fingers crossed.

Just did transfer this morning. Still free for either service. Were you trying to move a large amount?

Anyone get a card decline lately for a low amount <$100? I made two charges back to back to load RB online. One went through and next one was declined. Fast declined, too. I really don't want to deal with calling in. Ugh.

Were they exactly the same amount? It's not uncommon for the 2nd to be declined on credit/debit cards in general like this because they suspect a double charge.

Close but no. First was $100, second was $94. I think I'll wait till tomorrow and try again. Smaller amount. I hate the fraud calls. The scrutiny. Etc.

Did you provide ST your cell phone? Because I was in the same situation (but charges were > $1K), and I usually get a fraud alext text message (not fast, as Citi, in ~5 min) and after that I repeat my transaction.
