AmEx A/A'ing Blue Cash Cards

[lunatic]

True to my word you can get the fork out.

An honest man...
Oh well, time to work on the next trick

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Is there any benefit to holding off on the MSing for now, in the hope that the wave will pass and we can get back to work?

Probably not but I would consider applying for another BC while you can.

Probably not but I would consider applying for another BC while you can.

Why is that any better?

Old one?

[Super Speed]

Why is that any better?

Because there won't be any abuse on the new card.

[mawmaw]

Yes and yes.

is there any reports of unable to apply for amex cards after closing you acc before getting shutdown

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Old one?

Yes

[etech0]

Because there won't be any abuse on the new card.

My current on is actually fairly new, and only had about 2K of MS on it.

What I don't get, is that if they are sensitive to MS now, why wouldn't they be sensitive to MS on a new card?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

You can MS on the BC. We just don't know what level they will let us get away with.

[lfas25]

Yes and yes.

I converted my card then tried to move my CL but they only allowed me to move $600, I called back and they said I need to wait 30 days to request to move more.
Do you think I should just close the account or wait for the 30 days to try to save my CL?

[etech0]

You can MS on the BC. We just don't know what level they will let us get away with.

If I only did 2K of MS on my existing BC, is there any benefit to using a new one over that one?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

IMHO no.

[etech0]

IMHO no.

got it, thanks!
So is it smarter to wait for now, or to do some small-scale MS and see what happens?

I would start spending. If they are going to shutdown cards for a few k MSing I don't see the point of having the card anyway.

Sounds good. Guess I'll work slowly at first.

Thanks for the advice!

[srap]

ie, better to get the new BC in that case which gives the practical 5x g/g/d?

if they blacklist future cc applications it might not be worth spending at all.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Some have been denied on new apps.

[AJK]

You know of people who were shut down who have been approved on new apps subsequent to the closure?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Yes but they applied right after (with in a day) closure.
