They do have my cell. And now that you mention it, I usually do get a call or text. Where I'm staying the cell service is very spotty, so maybe that's why I did get the text. I'll try again later when in better cell range. Maybe they wil call then.

In my situations, ST never called me (since last year), only alerts I received were text messages.

It seems we have 10-11 days to enjoy the card, right? Since new rules apply from July 25, I guess the last day to make any transactions is July 23? I noticed from my purchase/posting dates that ST always post transactions next business day, if purchase wasn't made on the weekend. It would be a disaster to make purchases on July 24 and realize, that it would count by new rules.

So, would it be correct that all spending from July25-August4 will be capped at 2K skymiles and will be counted as August spending?

I need a small clarification b/c I can't find a post from a few months ago that is nagging at me. I have one of the balanced banking accounts. Per wiki, AF is $95 w/ $3000 daily balance. Cap of 2000 points/month @ 1 point/$2 spend. Is there no monthly fee? I keep thinking there is a monthly fee of $25 but I don't know why I think this. I plan to keep the card w/ my balanced banking account but am not sure if I need to do anything other than maintain $3000 balance to avoid an additional fee.

No monthly fee if you maintain $3000+ a month in the account

Came in to report that today I manned up, or at least attempted to, and tried to purchase 10 1k MO's in one shot for a total of $10,007.00. I got the decline like I normally see if I load my BB there and immediately after try to buy MO. I called the automated fraud line and the decline was not listed so I called into a rep. The rep gave me the same speech about having a 35k credit line so there shouldn't be an issue and then told me he saw no evidence of a 10k transaction. Did I hit some sort of a WM max there? The most I had ever tried before successfully was 5k. Not that it matters anymore but.... anyone know the max?
In any event, I ended up doing 5k twice, with no issues. There is a form that is usually filled out when doing above 3k. Interestingly the form has 10 lines for MO numbers.
It's almost over now, it's almost over now!!

I regularly did $7K or $8K at a time and never had any issues with them going through. I did try 9 one time and they didn't go through so I just stuck with 8. I've never had to fill out any forms. The only info they need is when I give them my ID and they fill out some info off of that right into the computer.

I'm starting to feel the grief settle in. Are you guys trying to get everything "done" by 23rd? Assuming pending won't mean points when they post on 4th or whenever? I'd like as much time as possible to finish up a few things.
