I think it's more likely Amazon shuts it down. I can't believe they're looking the other way for so long.

Based on the conversation, Amex Amazon card.
Looks like you didn't follow the conversion closely.

I don't buy it.

That he used his card a lot on Amazon (even for BGs) isn't the cause of his shutdown, or even a trigger, as we'd have hundreds if not thousands of DPs to support it.
the buying groups wouldnt be in business if this was the trigger

No one to talk to to get it reinstated, waste of time. maybe waiting some time, (dont know how long tho) or I read about opining an AU with your SSN could help you in the future when applying again.
where did u read about this? u have a link?

With the value of skypessos, an amazon credit might have more value ;D

How long after accounts closed can I try to apply again?
got shut down after FR, if it matters.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

can reapply right away, but will need a 4506t. Seemingly will always need one anyways, so might as well go for it. (waiting 6 months wont help)

I gave them 4506t when I was FR'd, and they closed me based on the info there...
any chance they'll let me in?

Most likely will let you back in.

Is there a waiting period? If they wanted me, they could've left 1 out of 7 cards open, no?

No waiting period. They used to cap cards at 3/5k if they didnt like the income, recently they have been shutting seemingly. And was always an all or nothing (meaning keep open or close).

I was closed about a year ago. Didn't offer an option of lowering CL.
I'll try to apply again, once things settle down.
thanks for the help.

Best of luck! Not sure what you mean by things settling down, if anything now the rules might be relazed slightly because of corona (IRS backed up) so may be beneficial now

Banks pulled all affiliate links for now, I guess they don't want people signing up now.

No one knows. Self referrals? Swiped at a flagged merchant?
