Isn't both send and receive max out at $1000/mt/acct. So technically, if you have multiple Amz accts and you send and receive no more than $1000 to each separate acct it should be fine or am I missing something?

Nope. Isn't coded that way for the Chase Amazon either.

I am very late into this game. I just transferred 1k to spouse AP. I won't get 3X points for using chase Amazon right?

Your not missing anything.

You are not missing anything.

I wasn't sure about $1K/mo receiving limit, that's why I asked.

The idea was to open a couple of extra accounts to speed up CGC liquidation.

Not going to work.

Business accounts can receive up to $10k/mo though.

Does this same setup A>B>C... work with PP as well? Can you open multiple accounts with them as you can with AP?

Good luck. People get shutdown quickly for that. Not to mention, unless you have a 4%+ card on everyday purchases (IE: paypal), you'd be losing money each transaction. With VR or VS/MC GCs, at least the fee is typically 1% or lower.

Sorry, Don't understand when you said "Not going to work"???? what can't work? Thanks

Creating multiple accounts, and in some instances paying yourself between your own accounts works sometimes. You're very likely to get your accounts disabled if you do this. Some have reported funds being held for months after having their accounts locked.

Actually it would be profitable with a card giving back more than 1%. PP reloads - $3.95 each. Like using VR to BB.

Not going to work is opening a couple of extra accounts just for sending the AP and not receiving any money, since the limit on receiving is the same $1K.

Has anyone recently had their transaction show up as Cash Advance even though you selected Goods/Services? This happened to my partner. He is sure that he selected Goods/Services, but a few days later we noticed a $50 fee from Citi. Then we went back to the AP transaction history and gawlee, it says Cash Advance. It's possible my other half in fact mis-selected Cash Advance by accident, but I'm just wondering if it happened to anyone else.

Nope. A coworker bought himself a $1000 AZ gift card once though... :D

Is there a way to apply an AZ gift card to your AP account? I can't find any way to do this.

Yeah, you figure out a way to do that and let us know. You'll become an instant celebrity.
