The Donut Experiment with Amex

[Johnny_Favorite]

Let me know if you'd like me to do anyting with my AMEX and see if I get FR'd? I am going to attempt to get FR'd by having a weird spending pattern for the sake of your amusement. I don't care if they shut me down forever.

I'm thinking of buying nothing but pure donuts with my card (I buy donuts for my employees every week). So for the next year I'm just going to buy donuts, donuts, donuts and more donuts. My charge statement will say Yum Yum Donuts, Winchells Donuts, The Donut Hole, Donut Express, Donut King, etc.

Then after about 2 or 3 months I will buy something totally random like $500 worth of adult movies or buy everyone at my job lunch at Wienerschnitzel and see what happens. Looking forward to having a little fun with Amex's algorithms and FR reps. If you guys have any other ideas let me know and I'll do it.

Sounds like a lot of calories...Lol

That sounds like an awesome idea! Keep this thread updated with each purchase even so we can follow the story.

How about after using your amex for all this donuts you come to boston, we go to the strip club and you buy 500 worth of stripper dollars and see what happens lmao.

The only impact will be a gain of weight.

Now if you were to add all of your ee's as authorized users, and let them buy the donuts while your card  is SD, then you might end up with an FR.

I'm in nyc so let's meet up I'm sure we could put some interesting charges on it

I'll admit, this made me laugh a little.

I honestly don't think that would do it though.  If you really wanted to invite a FR, I think you'd have to spend 6-12 months only running a couple hundred a month through the card, and only spending in places that would indicate you've hit hard times.  Then one day try to book like $5K+ in travel expenses.  Even then, I don't think you'd get a FR unless the rest of your CR indicated trouble (high balances, lates, etc.).

Do amazon payments. Buy gift cards.

Make purchases at exactly 1007.90  1000  1006 and nothing but those numbers you'll get a FR real quick =)
