What actually qualifies as cycling?

I will sometimes make multiple payments after I get my statment form different accounts - maybe the annual insurance bill hit so I pay that amount off from my insurance/property tax non-escrowed savings acct, then pay the balance from checking? I usually don't pay my bill before I get the statement, but on a few occasions when I get reimbursed from my employer I will pay that amount immediately just so I'm not carrying excess debt.

What you are doing seems fine. What banks tend not to like is for folks to charge up to their credit limit, pay it off, and repeat during a given cycle. For example, if you have a $10K credit limit, charge $10K, pay it off, charge another $10K, pay it off, and so on during a given cycle.

Has anyone ever been able to obtain a Citi credit card years after a shut down?

All P2 Chaas3 accounts have been shutdn. Here is what I suspect caused the shutdn:

- Buying 3 back to back GC on 5x category

- Cycling credit for the first time and make large purchases in the very first statement cycle to hit MSR (P2 availability for MS is limited so I was trying to hit MS quickly, which in hindsight was a big mistake)

- Chaas3 called P2 and was asking questions whether someone is trying to scam P2 to buy these GCs.

P2 does not want to handle this kinda stress call, so I am planning to call to request reinstatement and need some guidance:

1. I do not want to risk my account shutdn so how can I talk on P2 behalf without disclosing my full identity?
2. Should I be upfront that P2 is buying GC to give as business gifts on Xmas? P2 has a legit business.
3. There is only 5x spend on CF, and most recently 3 back to back GC purchases within 15 minutes. Should I disclose that yes, those were GC purchases because GCs were on sale. At this point, I am fine if Chaas3 does not recognize them as 5x purchases as long as they reinstate the accounts.

Any other suggestions?

CC accounts have not been shut down by the bank. I got a call from them yesterday and today. They wanted to ask me about my account activity so I just closed the accounts and paid off the balances. I have no intention of speaking with them. I have had 4 total cap uno accounts over the past 3 years and the past two have been MS spending. I recently applied for an auto loan with them and had some new hard inquiries as a result. I am wondering what triggered this because it seems to have come out of nowhere. I would have expected this more while I was doing heavier MS a year ago with GCM. Any ideas/advice moving forward? I have never had this happen before.
