SC Derby 259 Posted May 16, 2018 Amex won’t do it One of our partners tried years ago and it was a big no no, its achievable with most of the others as far as I know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i’ve found this out the hard way! I suspect it’s because if the CC is a high reward one it’s open to all sorts of abuse. People recycling money at 1.4% can soon add up to a lot of points.

Mark101 536 Posted May 16, 2018 Can you not simply pay for the stock on your CC (depending on how, where you source?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark101 536 Posted May 16, 2018 Erm... can you not apply for some Mastercards/Visa before you ditch your FT job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I applied for a new Amex 3 weeks ago and it got approved and issued out with a £15k limit. I wish I had applied for a non Amex now. Don’t want to have too many application for credit to be honest although I could probably stand one more application before it affects my rating. You had a missed call earlier, number ending in 496. That was me. Was ringing to pick your brain about all this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry James - I was at the auction and only saw the call later on (and didn't have your number). I'm out all day tomorrow (wifes birthday) but I'll dig that missed call and call you on Friday?
