Unless you already have a bank account with all banks that you're eligible to have accounts with, I would guess that there are definitely banks that will probably never bring you worthwhile value. My advice to you is simply that since no one can put a number on it, MS with a bank account that you don't care to get shutdown by (open a new one if you have to).

Before I realized that it was dangerous, I ms'd with a Wells Fargo checking account and credit card, and got blacklisted by them for life after only a couple of weeks. I'm lucky it was only Wells Fargo. Now for ms I only use random local banks or banks without any compelling credit cards. I would never MS through a Chase or Citi account etc., more than a trivial amount.

Sorry to bring up a discussion from a week and a half ago. I have heard that Chase hated MO's. Are there any reliable sources that other banks care? It seems that my bank likes them, and I'd guess most banks do as there's $ going through system with holds etc.

I doubt any bank likes them. Some tolerate them more than others

Why would you guess that most banks like them, and why does it seem your bank likes them?

No, au spending combines with primary spending for a total of $1500 per cc account.

Hi
On United.com I booked tickets JFK-ZRH-TLV with a confirmation number.
A few hours later, I get an email from United.com that they cannot process my tickets.
I called them up and asked them to rebook me on a direct EWR-TLV flight instead (for the same price, of course

). They refused to allow this unless I pay up the difference.
What are the options available for me?
Thanks

Apparently the rep on the phone gave you your options.
Was your reservation ticketed?

Was it revenue or award?
Was it ticketed or just confirmation number? Ie, eticket number vs confirmation number.

Can't get in with an active one. Need citi

It was revenue and I only got a conformation number but there was a delay in ticketing
Following is the email I got from United.

RE: A1YT4J

Thank you for booking your travel on www.united.com.

We are unable to ticket the above-referenced reservation. Some airlines require 24 hours to confirm a seat on their flight. In this case, we were unable to confirm your flight(s) on Swiss International Airlines. Please call us at 800-UNITED1 (800-864-8331) so we can assist you in making alternate arrangements. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Happened to me before. It's clearly written in the ticket when you book it that it's only a reservation and it won't be booked till the other airlines confirms. It's always important to check partner airlines flights to make sure you got a confirmation number

Life after an Amex FR (due to returned funds with UFB): all accounts reinstated, no change in CL. Would appreciate suggestions in how to proceed with use CCs. Back to regular spend, go slow, etc?

After an online application Capital One told me that I would need to 'verify my information', about a week later they sent me an email saying that my card shipped. What are the odds that they're gonna ask for Proof Of Income after I receive the card?
