If you do not want to get flagged.

- Break down your payments into smaller increments.
- write an explanation when you send each payment
- use odd amounts that actually look like payments
- space out your payments over the month

I've been maxing it our every month for some time now without any problems at all.

I do have a question about this Venmo. Does it require both you and friend download Venmo on the phone. How about one download it on the phone and another just use computer? Anyone knows?

Just got 7 credit cards in one month, I am kind of have problem to meet the spending limit 

You can do it either way, doesn't matter

Venmo only allows you to add 3 cards for the lifetime of the account, correct?  That seems like a big downfall (especially if you are using gift cards).

Correct. If I was doing this I would try and find a reloadable GC/prepaid card.

Do u use a different IP adress for each acct?

Do u use a different IP adress for each acct?

If you are using a different address for each account then it would be a good idea to use different IP’s also. If the accounts are all under the same address then different IP’s will not help.

Reloadable via CC I presume - do you know of any?

No i'm actually handling all of the transactions off of the same computer. What I did was open an account in my friends name and
i handle all the Venmo payments and he just writes me a check once a month.

Sending all payments to one person, I receive payments too ( added a friend as an AU so I can use 4000 a month off of the same card account every month)

So is Venmo the only way to go  ?
Someone told me that Saks 5th will refund a purchase on any card.  Can anyone confirm this?  Also, does Bed Bath and Beyond give cash refund for credit card payments, like if you bring the item in without a receipt.

Just to make sure I understand,  you handle your accounts and your friends account all from the same computer,  correct?
