I downgraded the AA card to double cash, I was going to go for this card, what stopped me is the minute they start having heavy hits , it will be all over for the card, hope it lasts long for those who have it.

Why do you think so?

Any DPs now? Anyone get their account shut down or detrimentally affected in any other manner?

Will i get shutdown if i use this card exclusively for the 10x point bonus? Ex: reloading my amazon gc balance 1$ or 50 cents at a time?

How do you load 1 cent on Amazon GC?

I just figured out last week that if paying NYC business taxes with a CC, paying 24 cents at a time actually totally eliminates the service charge due to rounding. Now if I can only explain that to a CC issuer and not have them block a card due to suspicious activity, and then get a script to pay large amounts in multiple transactions of 24 cents, that would be a nice way to pay even without the rounding up of points.

What is the best way to sign up for this card? Am I able to do a different citi card with a good sign-up bonus and then downgrade?

Does anyone have experience with this?

Dan has written on main site that theoretically you could do 50 cent reloads on Amazon and get 10 points each time.

Has anyone significantly done this? Has Citi stopped it? Has Amazon stopped it?

Is it worth the risk to get this card for this purpose? (The card has been around for a while so either no one wants to risk upsetting Citi, or Citi isn't too bothered by people doing it

?)
