look at apple with that battery thing where suddenly your old phones stopped performing well on purpose to prompt you to want to “just go buy a new one” also, morals and ethics are subjective. Mine cannot nec apply to someone else. And finally, there have been many who claim what we do has moral or ethical ramifications but then, like I said, they aint us. |
Perhaps we should refocus our attention back to the shutdowns, and limit the whining. ;)
There's unfortunately enough material this season to keep this thread very active. |

There's unfortunately enough material this season to keep this thread very active. But the psyche and philosophy behind whatever card issuers do, or how people are who do the deals we do that end up in shut downs is JUST AS IMPORTANT if not paramount to helping to understand this stuff in general, and to try to avoid and navigate the waters going forward. Would you not agree? |
One might wonder whether AMEX knew of their AMEX offers internal control failure and used it as a honey pot to attract "deplorable customers" they wanted to identify (and punish with the surprise clawback?). But no, bankers don't follow bloggers who promoted exploiting the internal control failure and bankers could never be that evil, right? :rolleyes:

Is paying the estimated taxes with AMEX a flag? Has anyone done it? The amount will be less than $10K.

Wow, this stings. First involuntary shutdown in 8 years of MSing.
1. brcl@y 2. Length of account before closure and CL? 4-5 years, $27K 3. Average monthly account balance checking and savings? Plenty 4. Volume of ms per month and how many months? 20-40K 5. Cycle CL? 2X max 6. Did you BP using both options? Nope 7. Did you spell out the bank's full name in an internet forum? Nope. Had a recent dip in my credit score due to a boneheaded failure to pay a sub-$100 Disc@ver bill. That's the only variable for YEARS. Anyway, I'd considered ditching the Arrival+ after they neutered the earning structure back when, I guess they made the decision for me. |

Does anyone know how long Brcl@y keeps you on the naughty list?

I have waited 2 years and still on it. I was approved for Bclay Jet Blue card and received the card. When I called to activate it, I was told the account was closed. This was about 2 years after having a shutdown as an authorized user. It was an account that was heavily MS'd. Only sad part is, I really wante the Jet Blue card because I fly them all the time. The plus side is, since I was aproved for the card and immidiatly shutdown, JBlue thiks I have the card and gives me the 10% miles bonus.

I read somewhere that for BCly, it's not permanent.

What happens to your A+ miles? Do they give any time window like Chase to use them up?
