Both my Paypal cards are permanently limited(shut down I believe).

I would say good riddance.

My first shutdown for 2015! Luckily this "shutdown" affects every Softcard user since they're going out of business.

RIP Softcard.
I guess the question remains is whether the $1.5K limits will remain after March 31, 2015.

I think it should. When I signed up for my serve account, for some reason i could never add the serve card to softcard wallet. But i have the $1500 load limit. I believe it is the signup via softcard that matters.

$1500 load limit would only apply to DC loads as CC loads are going away in April.

That's wrong. Credit card loads for American Express cards will still be active. The question is whether Amex cards issued by other banks will still be allowed and whether they'll still earn points.

I just never told my ex. But then again, I don't know if she knew she had the cards either.

I just hope that someday she does to apply for an Amex and is told she's blacklisted there. It would be fitting, because it would be the first evil thing she'd ever have accused me of that I actually did.

My first shutdown in 4 years. Diners Club.
Just got the card in January. Only about 14K in 3x spending category, transferred out 51K in 2 billing cycles.

Closed now.

Still alive with citi and amex and suntrust. If these guys shut me down, I'll be flying coach for a loooonnnnngggg time.




Why did PayPal shut down the entire family? Any lessons we can learn here?
I was using everybody's pp account with the cash cards. They gave a warning and I stopped using cash cards, but next time I did an ACH, they shut things down.

You should probably read the paypal thread. The only way to ensure not getting shut down is to not use it.

Really? Someone was shutdown by BOFA? Has anyone else been shutdown by BOFA? Any data points regarding possible BOFA shutdown?

What was your other shutdown aside from Diners Club?

I can't be the only one, can I?

I deposited MOs and burned the cash out with AS debit.

BofA was next door to my WM. I got a little greedy. Numbers didn't match, because I was doing ST also.

For those that got shutdown by Chase - what were you doing?

I've got Ink+/CSP/Freedom but all I've been doing are Staples purchases with Ink+ then the revolving categories with Freedom
