Umm... wouldn't this be obvious?
You would think so but...  :-X

If you have this card and it is still working stop using it. Let this all unfold first.
Are you saying to stop using it altogether for anything ?

They're shutting anyone who uses the card, even not exploiting ?

I haven't seen any reports here actually saying it's closed. Maybe a wiki with some statistics would help to find some patterns? I'll start:

Card still open or closed? Open
Age of card? Just under one year
Approximate monthly volume? $5k-$10k
Last large 5% purchase? 10/12/14
Last any purchase 11/22/14

Appreciate the effort but there are thousands of data points already and no pattern found so far.

Let me rephrase it, if grandpa wheels himself into the pharmacy & swipes it for his meds, he's gonna get shut down ?

Just wait a few days and there will be a very straight pattern.

Has anyone on DDF gotten shut down?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

I'm still up, but I think ChaimMoskowitz was shut down.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

If CM got his card closed he wouldn't be on DDF anymore he'd be looking for a serious job.

The point is that our guys hit it pretty hard and weren't shut down. (Judging by AJK's posts)

These guys who got shut down must have been doing pretty serious work.

Besides - Designing a card where the real rewards kick in only after 6K spend, they expect high spending on these cards. I'm positing that those of us using this card for moderate MS probably don't have to worry so much, at least until we hear from people we know.

Reports on FT indicate otherwise.
