Thanks. This RB is not in my name, it's in my daughter's name (with permission). Her name is one that could be considered asexual. I imagine I have all the information they would ask (since I set it up for her). Knowing this would you still call or wait for a "second notice"?

Hoax or not, why can't people just take it easy and not load 1k 1k 500 in one shot. Making an extra trip or two isn't going to kill you.

my brother in law's RB was shut down a month ago. At the time, I just chalked it up as something weird he did - possibly fat-fingering SSN or DOB. But I asked him last night if he still had the email. He deleted it, so I showed him the one posted by OP. He said it was similar in general verbage, but his reason stated was different. so fwiw, i believe OP.

Folks, please vet the sources of the initial report and the "confirmations."

If someone were actually shutdown, the first thing one does is try to log-in to the account. However, no one who reported a shutdown has mentioned anything about trying to log-in and what happens. I even specifically asked (and received no response):



Now, let's go in order of posting for the "report" and "confirmations:"

1) RFDMinnesota:



OP is known to state false information on FT. For example, in this post, OP claimed that store gift cards could be loaded to BlueBird:



Now, to the first "confirmation:"

2) Dave4086:



In the same joke thread as OP regarding claims that store GCs will load to Bluebird, this posted provided "confirmation":



And, then, this poster was also admittedly "in on the joke" in the "H.E.L.L.O. method" thread:




On to the next "confirmation," by a first-time poster who just joined this week? A poster who hasn't posted since.

3) TommyFlysAlot:



A single-post does not make a forest of credibility

And, then we have this "confirmation:"

4) WhoGoesThere:



Here's a recent (although, more light-hearted) joke post from this poster:



Finally, we have this poster:

5) SanDiego_Fred:





This poster has only ever posted in the main RB thread (5 total times) and then only in this "shutdown" thread since joining FT last month.


[I was bored. Otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time on this.]

Mods - Can we lock this thread yet? Or, at least, merge it with the existing RB thread?

Why would AMEX suddenly be concerned about "unintended use" regarding this particular product while similar products (SRV,BB,AFT), which have been in the market longer than RB, didn't ?

For those of you that have gotten shutdown, is there any collateral damage with your other Amex cards, specifically credit cards?
