Response to naysayers:
Some of you are unbelievable. All the post does is encourage you to be careful with your personal information, to think hard about the type of schemes you are getting yourself into and to excersize caution and discretion with credit/financial decisions. So the only people whose parnassah is getting screwed by this are those that are relying on duping others to some extent.

Maybe call amex after they finish spending and say your identity was compromised and change login info and keep the points

I would tell the whole story to a rav who will chap, and ask what you should do in this case.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Why would you be a Ganav for taking your own points?

If he does anything with your info without your permission you go right to the FBI.

If it would be me I would:
A: change password and move the points to safety asap.
Immediately call amex, claim fraud. You never opened the accounts bla bla bla. FR will be gone and you live happily ever after.

(Optional step: you call the --- after step one, and give him 5 min to send you a chase QP or PP $3500)

Correct, good thinking. 


Are these the guys who had a booth at the Parnassah Convention a while back?

He did not talk to the FR department, these guys told him they have connections and they will take care of it. (of curse they never did anything)
Was he told beforehand that he'll only get the full amount if all cards get approved & all points post ?

No and no. He was told after he was approved that he will get $2.5k

Forgo the points.  Call him and tell him you changed your mind and are closing the cards.  Then close all the accounts.  Get a credit monitoring service.

Its not the magazines job to vet the advertiser. Just like they don't vet the ticket fighter who promises to get rid of your ticket & they don't check the validity of a hechsher on a restaurant. Every person has to use his own brain not to get fooled into these scams.
