Dumb mistakes we make playing these games.

Opened a checking account funded by CC with $500 opening bonus.  One of the bonus requirements was 10 swipes.  By accident only made 9 through Amazon and Square.  Noticed my mistake the day after the swipes were due in by.

How much do people generally spend on these transaction requirements? I'm just curious.

Tried, multiple HUCA.. the hotel as well, nadda.

You have to call orbitz, who then reaches out to the hotel and moves it IIRC. Ill see if I can pull up the thread that details it.

+1. I alternate between $0.01 and $0.00. Just curious. It looked like people were spending $0.50 a transaction on another site.

Yup. I had 30+ reservations, the hotel desk couldn't figure out why our key cards needed to be re-magnetized every day

I alternate between two options. One costs 0cents and one costs 3cents per swipe.

Signed wife up for a couple Amex biz cards, started the MS, got denied and when called to say it's not fraud they started asking questions like what is your business (don't have one). So I hung up, was in stressed out spot as it is. Then, few weeks later, they closed all her Amex accounts and refunded AFs. I'm scared to call back cuz don't know what to tell them.

At this point you have nothing to lose, just think of what you wanna tell them and take the courage and make that phone call (the phone rep is not your personal enemy).

So it seems after reading the wiki in the Amex F/R thread here that even though I could pass a personal review because I do indeed have income on the books, the business one will kill me since it's not a legitimate business. Is this true?

[shoobi]

Asked it in the Amex F/R thread just now, where it belongs.

Call the bank and ask for an extension?

No purchase protection on debit card.

I know this is JS and everything, but I just realized my SPG sign up bonus spend deadline is today. Anything I can do besides just referring to this as a dumb mistake?
