Did you MS 10K on a single citi premier? I have multiple premiers and I am considering MS about half of the credit line on each card, that will be around 13K+ per month.

Yes, a single citi premier. Was doing 10k a month mostly through grocery GC's. Transactions were usually around 1k or 1.5k and had been at it for a little less than a year. The credit line on the card was 12k.

Just got shut down because I opened the WoH then tried an $8000 transx, had it decline, got on the phone, rep cleared the hold then told me to keep trying, triggered a manual overview, then shutdown.

Do you have any bank accounts with Chase?

I'm thinking about getting the Choice Hotels card from Wells Fargo to do grocery MS at 5X, but I'm afraid that WF would shut me down. Has anyone heard about shutdowns with this card?

Yes, Wells Fargo may shut down all your accounts, if they're not totally happy. For new CC accounts, WF is also known to lock accounts and have you go through reactivation.

Have not seen any DPs on those shut down by BOA being let back in, but no personal experience.
In general, with Amex and Citi products, fugett about it.....
with Chase, some DPs where people are permitted some return, but we actually don't know what 'value' they had or added to the bank (products that made Chase lots of money :rolleyes:)
Can you supply us with any details about your troubles with BOA and when they occurred?

Don't know if this info will help you or not. My BofA checking account was shutdown in 2017 for MO deposits. I wasn't able to get another bank account with then until about a month ago.

I've had the card since it came out and I max out the CL each month with VGCs purchases at grocery stores without problems.
