Speaking as my experience, I initially was 10k limit, and then sent them a email to request for an increase. On the next day, I got a reply saying my limit now was 25k. Very awesome people.

For those not getting $25k right away did you normally ms at SM physical properties? Were you a regular? If so did you previously do >$10k or always less than $10k? Until recently it seemed no one was approved for less than $25k.

I'm trying to access the Simon Volume purchase website to make a purchase but the site is down for me. The error says: Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
Is the website (https://www.simon.com/volume/) still correct?

I have used Simon VG cards several times to meet min spend requirement for my chase and citi cards. Does anyone know if purchase of these card will count towards min spend on US Bank Leverage? Or Bank of the West Business?

Sign-up was fairly easy. They asked for a scan of recent utility bill to establish residency info, just snapped a pic and emailed back.
Took 48 hours from initial sign up to when I placed by first "volume" order.
50 card/ $5k limit to start, will request for bump after a few starter orders.
Easy-peasy.

you need to read the shutdown thread going back a few years. there are many useful DPs there. MS is an art. its not a science. only n00bs want a clearly spelled out reddit flow chart to tell them exactly what to do. life doesnt work like that nor does this game. some people can MS 500k/mo and not get shutdown, but others who only do 10k in one day get flagged for "rapid increase in balances".
