Few hucas very important to have linked accounts with your name on it bc u can't add any different accounts once it's closed and it must be a account with your name on it

an AU with his own login, can safely pay bill from his own account, or is that asking for a shutdown?

Paying from your account will not be an issue.

I just tried to apply for an AMEX card- 1st time in a long time and was told "you are not eligible for the bonus" I only have one card with them currently that I don't use much. When I called to find out why the representative said "you took advantage of bonuses and are not eligible ever" is there anything to do about this?

Ymmv, try playing with the address, phone number, etc.

Sometimes it just goes away after a couple days/weeks.

It could also be years.

Spend as regularly as possible on your existing card and then try to apply again in a couple months.

Thanks for your help everyone. @LoLo I'll keep trying.  Not getting my hopes up.
@Yehudaa i recently have been spending on it but just to make sure they dont close it down. I'll try to start spending more on it.

Hit the spend threshold on my 5th BP. Bonus posted. Got a charge refunded to put it under threshold. Pending charges will put it back over. Does that mean I'm getting eyes on the account? Shutdown coming?

Almost been a year and nothing. I spent on the card regularly and tried changing name a little and phone number and email. NADA. It must be connected with my Social. I didnt abuse the system like a lot have. Yes, I have applied for a business card or two and a yr after canceled but not that many cards. surprised no one else experienced this

I would not think so if before the time of the sign up bonus window those pending charges post. I think that if they feel you don’t deserve the bonus they would just take it away but nothing to do with account in general

Not sure if there's a better thread, but I fear what might be coming down the pipeline with AMEX.

I recently applied for AMEX Blue Business Cash accounts for myself and DW.

Given the 2% cash back and 12 months of 0% APR, I moved other credit lines to these accounts and maxed them out at about 40k each.

Last week I got notices on the BP accounts to make a payment in order to avoid declined charges. This was despite a $0 balance on DW's account. I made a $1 payment on her account just in case some flag was there, and on my own account I brought down the balance (mid cycle) by about $2,500 (intending to pay the rest when due).

However, it seems like AMEX is restricting usage on both BP accounts to charges of up to $100. Additionally, they cut the CL on DW's AMEX Everyday Preferred from 15k to under 1k.

Does this mean bad news in the pipeline? Any way to prepare preemptively?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Recently had a similar experience on my Blue Cash and one of my Business Cash cards.

Did you need to pay down the 0% APR balance?
