Immediately move all your reward points out of Chase before they shut down your account.

Then MS with the CIC for 5% at Staples if you must...

....Because 5/24 maybe means these are off limits
Also after you get past SUB, buying 200VGC at Staples/OD only makes sense during the promos. Otherwise Simon 1k cards are lower cost MS

They are advertising 1.5x earning but cowarding behind fine print exclusions.

Fine print is corporate initiated consumer deception by nature

Chase actually used the words "Manufacturing Spend"? Well, how about that?

We do have a shut down thread in the Chase forum, as well. You can find it here: Chase Shut Downs & Credit-Card Account Closures: Data, Tales & Speculation 2019-on

Just stop ALL MS activity if you got a letter like that. It's a bit hard to believe you'd have to ask about continuing to MS when you get a letter like that. A friend got a letter like that and he stopped MS activity but he was shut down on ALL of his cards 30 days later. You do NOT want to get banned from Chase as they have so many great cards.

Did you get shut down? Or did stopping MS cause them to allow you to keep your cards?

Yes, I'd like to know this too. It's been over a month since the letter, right? What happened?

People on reddit seem to be OK if they stopped, unlike Amex where once they're on to you, game over man. Game over.
