Strange thing happened - applied for US Bank Altitude card - went for manual review. At the same evening my cards stopped working (flexperks busn and personal). Called them (thought it might be a fraud alert) - was told that account under review and somebody will call. Nobody called, but 2 cards (club carlson personal and business disappeared from my online account, flexperks cards are still there). I heard that US bank doesn't like to give more cards if sufficient CL is given. I wonder would it be a total shutdown?

Shutdown last month by Digital Federal Credit Union. Account open 3 months. $10k-$13k per month of MO deposits. Bank said transactions were consistent with MS so I was getting shut down.

Too bad. Tell them MS is perfectly legitimate spend and what they should be looking for is money laundering or something illegal.

Why would they care about what some shady-seeming customer thinks about what other kinds of shady-seeming activity they should be looking out for?

Have we heard other CSRs actually say that phrase? Its usually "suspicious activity" or "activity inconsistent with our terms"

R.I.P Bi-Lo Plenti 3x Pts .... looks like they finally updated the systems for variable load purchases. This was a money maker for a few weeks.

Did you had countable Organic transactions along with MS deposits?
