So if I buy a square and keep swiping to myself I'll get $25?


Theoretically. Minus the fees.

What you'll get is shut down.

I wasn't planning on getting 99 but like 15 I thought the limit was 5 so that's exciting!

Did anyone notice if they've been eliminating certain types of establishments that were on the map last year? I haven't been able to locate any of my local shuls, which were included last year. Could this be a concerted effort to actually exclude them?

First they schedule it on Shabbos Chanukah, and now they remove all the shuls? What greater proof do you need!

Does anyone know if Amex has ever taken issue with someone making a large number of SBS purchases from one vendor (i.e., with multiple accounts and many AUs)?
You mean like 30-40?

I have 5 on all my cards and know some with 10+. One CB member had 50+ but was shut down after a couple of years.

Can you use your middle name, Hebrew name, other name etc?
