i got shut down from chase for that . cc and bank accounts.
 ETA as far as i remember i used a third party check once from a buying group. the owner of that buying group was shut down for some reason and they closed down a lot of people that they had on record as using his checks to pay their cc
I guess even though you wouldn't want money going through your bank account and then paying your credit cards from your bank account seems you'll be much safer versus telling the third party to pay your bills for you which would have your account shut down.

This is new?

Yes, generally AmEx has been forgiving of 3rd party checks.

Definitely has been an FR trigger in the past. Guess it's escalated.

Wow, the dude has been around since May 2017 and has never seen a confirmed trigger.

Lol.
I was inquiring, not saying that there isn't any.
But I did research it a little, as I do use third party checks, and the reports I saw focused more on 3rd party attached bank accounts, and were wishy washy about the checks.

Would third party payments be the same as third party checks?

In general, seems like FR rates are way down from the old days, while shutdowns are more common.
