Why would any credit card have difficulty working through AP?

See post #1964:

"My prg Amex statement showed the amazon payments as not being eligible for MR points. Anyone else experience this ?"

and:

"Tip: Don’t use American Express issued cards like the PRG or Platinum. This will send a red flag to Amex and no body wants that. The Starwood Preferred Guest card seems to work though."

I used AmEx Blue Cash, Platinum and SPG cards for AP w/o any problems.

Do you still get cash back on Amazon Payments transactions on your Amex cards?

Hmm, interesting. I wonder why PRG and Plat would raise flags, but not SPG? Either way, I'm very wary with my Amex cards anyways. I prefer to do high volume MS on other banking institutions.

Someone PM'ed me saying they didn't receive any MR's from using their PRG on AP.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I've searched everywhere and I can't find the answer. Could someone please confirm that there is no credit pull when applying.

Why not try a small test like $10?

Why would there be a credit pull? You aren't applying for a credit card or bank account.

I did receive MR using PRG. Used it to meet spend. Have always gotten MR.

I've been sending $1k/mo back and forth between my wife and me for a year or so. A week ago sent $1k from her->me. Last payment from me->her was 12/31. Just tried to do my Jan $1k from me->her and got a failure that I have already exceeded my limit. Limit shows $0 in my profile, but there is no outgoing payment since 12/31.

I thought we established that the limits are by calendar month. Anyone have any idea what's up? Any chance they made it a $1k limit total for all CC transactions, in and out? Yikes!

Was it executed and delivered on 12/31 or in pending status on 12/31? AP may have it as delivered on 1/1 if it was in pending status at that point.

I know some folks have gotten this in the thread already, but has anyone gotten it on their first try trying to claim a payment? There's pretty much no history whatsoever. Signed up, was sent money, tried to claim, and this message comes up.

Nope.
Calendar month.
$1K in, $1K out.
Nothing has changed.
