OK, and only 5 coins are currently available in bulk, total $2,500 charge.

So it goes by address....does that mean I could place another $500 order for the same President, and have it shipped to another address? That is, using my same credit card name, but a different card and a different recipient?

I placed 2 $10k orders last week. My credit card has $10k in pending charges.

Please please please let both orders go through.

I opened up a United MP visa about 6 weeks ago. I've been putting about 50% of credit limit on there and paying off a few days later. Today I tried to use it to buy a drink and it was declined. I went on chase.com and it said my account could no longer be viewed online. I called CSR and they couldn't tell me what was wrong, only that someone from a review dept would be calling me back today.

I've heard of Amex not liking this and cancelling cards, but has this happened to anyone using their United MP Chase Visa?

There's posts about accounts being flagged for a few small purchases then a big purchase. It's a new one, to have an account flagged for a few big puchases, then a small purchase!

the only Fraud that is being done is by The Fraud Dept at Chase

My mom had the samething (w/o purchasing the Coins). She got the UA CC activated it and had some large transactions, then reg purchases, then fills up with gas and the next day purchases something at a drug store and Chase shuts her down

Then I called in as her and gave them a what for. Telling them the only fraudulent thing being done is your Fraud Dept, then some other nice words, then of cause I hang up on them before they have a chance to answer.

What they couldnt deal with was me being able to answer all their Security Questions yet not having a female voice. They didnt know what to do.
It was fun, turns out my mom decided she doesnt want anything to do with Chase any longer so Im still having a field day with them

Sweet Revenge

The funniest thing to do if they ask about your male/female voice is to respond by saying "how dare you question my masculinity/femininity--" that shuts them up really fast.

SO TRUE. I've got, unfortunately, a relatively gender neutral voice, i.e. not too highly pitched or too deep.... damn genetics.

It's nice though because i can moderate my intonation to be either my father, mother, brother or myself on the phone... usually most reps are smart enough about not questioning it when I answer all of the security questions.

Thank God, I am not the only one with this problem. My only beef is when they say mam, sometimes I correct them but other times I just let go. However it is kind of a blessing in disguise as I can always talk as myself or my wife.

Does Mint track the quota by address or by credit card #?
