I can't imagine he would not get shut down doing that much in such a small time frame on only two cards.
Well, some people here probably do the similar type of volumes too. It is just we do not know. Of course most of us do not do. If you get a decent job, good financial situation and long banking relationship, you would not want to risk getting shut down. But some people are in different situation. They care less of getting shut down...

Many days I go in and there are no variable load cards left. One of the girls at the solution center told me they are up to $280K in the last two months and that the managers are considering not selling him anymore because of fraud/ML risks. From the couple times I've seen him solo at S&S he seems to use an Amex Delta card and a WF Cash Wise card. Not sure if he's using other more lucrative cards or not, but at that volume he'd max out any decent grocery store bonus card in less than a month.
as long as the card uses the chip there should be no fraud risks for s&s,

It isn't me that doesn't understand that mate. I think most of us here know more about CC fraud, MLing, and structuring than the majority of S&S or WM CSRs and managers.

Can the card be stolen or was already lost? Then they are unauthorized transactions.

s&s didn’t accept cc for gc for a long time due to no chip reader. Obv the cs May not be as aware of why they didn’t accept cc for a yr or so.

as long as chip is used the bank/cc issuer takes liability. Swiping goes to merchant. There is some grey area since chips don’t always work

I’ll be hitting up the new S&S promo but don’t have access to Giants. Anyone in Giants territory interested in combining forces?

I know this. I get the Citi Dividend that has 5% on Best Buy this quarter. So no juice now. Whenever we get VGC or MCGC, its self would be empty, even $100 ones.

DP: I was able to use S&S points in HNL, but not in SEA.

it looks like most, if not all, of the shell stations on the hawaiian islands honor the discount.

my esoteric question is: what time do the gas points expire? i’ll be on maui through the 14th of next month, and my points expire on the 13th. do i need to fill up my rental by midnight eastern time? hawaiian time? fuel rewards (central) time?


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:26 am.
