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?
Oh great. You apply for a new card, and they shut down your other cards while in process!

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?

Did they actually use the phrase "manufactured spending"?

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

Sure did. Seemed like a generic form letter that they sent to many people. Now I have 97 blank checks that are useless .

Yeah, it was pretty crazy getting 6.5% when stacking this with a Wells Fargo card... too bad they caught on.
