Hey folks, apologies if this is wrong location but some of the people here seem highly knowledgeable. Question: if I set up an Amex BB acct in my kids names is it a bad idea to buy VR's with my card, deposit the money in kids BB accts and pay my cc bill from the kids accts? Trying to do 4 citi exec cards in two months. Two for my wife and two for me. Using kids info i set up a total of 4 bb accts to get around $5k monthly limit. Any help appreciated.
FWIW, frugal travel guy recently had a cryptic post about possible changes with how strict BB may become in the near future. It's anybody's guess how seriously to take the warning. |

I figured since everyone here was so savvy, that this form of MS was free like Amazon payments, Amex Serve, $1 coins from back in the day, etc. I was surprised to see the $3.95 fee. By the way, the clerk had three large unwrapped stacks of the cards.

anyone noticed an "MS" mark on CVS receipts? (right under total amount due), game over, they're on to us :)

I haven't had a problem doing just that. In fact, I haven't had a problem paying anybody via BB billpay.

Just make sure you have a way to liquidate them.
That's the only thing holding me back from AMEX GC's. |
Would FTG know something we don't. I wonder what would cause him to be so sceptical/worried about this all of the sudden?

If they stopped VR --> BB, wouldn't BB see a sharp drop in usage?
I'm sure BB is "aware" of MS. Though we're probably not the segment of the population they are seeking. |
