I spoke on the phone with a representative and was told the exact same thing over-- "We put a red mark on your account which led to a live conference with our analysts and we decided due to the $50.000 gift card purchase, which was against the terms and conditions you agreed to, we terminated your account and your card is no longer active. On the bright side, you can re-apply after 2 years for the Freedom card again!"
I hung up immediately after I heard that. Off to the website I go-- They will not get another cent from me. That's it.
It would be really interesting to get them to show you exactly where in the T&C you cannot buy a gift card. That is what is confusing about this.

I actually did did bank with them prior to moving to BECU 2 years ago.
This is the kind of thing that makes that BECU credit card look better and better all the time.
These shut down stories are making me nervous!!! Chase is my favorite bank and i hope they don't decide to close my accounts as well
I have two personal cards (Freedom and CSP) and one business cards (Ink Cash) which was approved yesterday....I really like their rewards program and the card designs
@Anonymous wrote:And to answer the question, it was just a regular Best Buy store gift card.
Had you met the $500 purchase level requirement for the bonus on account opening? You said it was 4 months after account open, so it seems like that original spend requirement was completed, right?
And that is what I find really bizzare, the gift card doesn't fit in any bonus category if that original bonus spend is already past.
