Good for you!

Doesn't a charge card by definition have no limit?

It doesn't officially have a limit, but that doesn't mean you can use it for $10 million.
The actual limit changes according to your usage.

You can't just swipe $100,000, American Express has an internal credit limit, which they would raise/Lower  according to your spending habits and pay

to check  spend req, to check for new amex offers, to check if SC has posted, to check any points earned, etc

BTW<  seems no one has actually received $25 SC on amex staples   purchase?

I paid with Visa Checkout and my order was cancelled for security reasons, but the offer shows as "redeemed".
Chat said I'll get the credit anyways. I guess we'll see.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

daily?

Yes.

My Business And Personal Gold and Platnium.

My issue was letting others spend and It seems that business was swiping to himself and paying back same account.... or so I think. I dont want to tell him I was FR'd

Why would he do that? Doesn't it cost him?

Any particular reason you paid with Visa Checkout?

Short term loan

I signed up because of the $30 promo, which was already expired. But since i already signed up and was logged in, I just paid. To see how it works. I got the confirmation email right away.

I hear.
But if the card is on your name, whats the problem? How would AMEX know it's not legitimate spend?

Cuz a card being payed from the account it was charged isn't legit.

Oh. You can probably check online/chat from what account (or name on account) the payment was made.
(Or now that you passed, you don't care)

Just got FR from AMEX. They needed tax form, etc.
B"H Passed.

I transferred CL to my everyday preferred, and spent most of it in a day or two.
Now can i resume this activity? (I remember somewhere seeing that passing a F/R is a good thing, but maybe i'm thinking about a Chase AA?)

Congrats!
Did they tell you that was the reason?

[Boruch999]

Thinking about trying a 3x CLI.  I have a ED with 10k,  a Blue MR with 8k and Delta Gold with 8k.

I live in Israel, so I don't really have much use for a bigger CL on any of these cards.

Reasons to/not to?
