(know this as a fact as not only brother shut down but my sister in law was shut 1 week later)-- but yes, do agree to take extra steps as precaution to fly under their radar. Those that will eventually get shot out of the sky later should rethink their flight plans now.--IMO

I need to meet minimum spending requirements on SPG card. Can I send money to my wife $1000 every month? She lives with me in the same house. Will this cause the shutdown of my account?

Thanks.

I'd steer of clear if sending to someone same address....use a friend's address instead

I've been avoiding AP for the longest time for no particular reason at all. But now I feel it's time to jump in. My wife and I have a joint account. My plan is to send her money, and then have her transfer to our joint account. Is there any reason I would run into problems with this plan at all? If she registers our joint account to her AP account, will Amazon be able to see my name on there as well?

I was reading on another thread and a question was asked how many CC is too many link to an acct. Had me thinking as now I'm not sure. I usually switch about 4-5 cards a year with Amz ( I only have one acct with Amz) as I need to make minimum spending whenever I sign up for new cards. Not sure if Amz have a limit. Wondering if anyone been shut down for switching too many CC using Amz payments. Have I been lucky or Amz don't have rules on this matter?
Any thoughts or experiences to share.

Thanks for the reply as I had the same thoughts as you about switching CC. Like I said it was a question raised on the Amex Serve thread that had me rethinking about this. Many on Serve said you can only add ONE credit card and can't switch it around like Amz. Serve have been known to shut down accts just on this issue.
