FYI AA is shutting accounts who reinstated expired miles with a car rental receipt that the name didn't match on.

It is the risk we take when playing these games.
I had an account shutdown for gaming the bonuses. Part of doing business.

Insane. The auditors must be seriously bored.

I can't really blame them, they need to show management they're productive or they will be laid off.
The question I have is, once they're done going over rentals, what will be next? stay safe

Yup, up here in the great white north Amex has just initiated its biggest ever wave of shutdowns.

All happened in the past few days, nobody know exactly what they're targeting yet, but they say they're mailing letters.

Wondering, Will this have a long term effect Amex? After all, Dansdeals TPG (sorry for putting you in 1 line..) and all others, wouldn't exist if not for CC/miles churning...

I'm pretty sure DD bread and butter are now amazon, not CCs and for sure not affiliate links from churners.

True. As dan wrote (can't find it) that amazon deals get more traffic.
But my point still stands.
the big boost CC got were bcuz it was valuable, so it was promoted, if they do all kinds of limitations, people will stop promoting.
