I used flex spend on my Simplicity during its 0% period to pay a medical bill and they auto CLI'd it so it wasn't even maxxed anymore.

I don't recommend this as a means of getting CLI but it was a nice surprise.

My Quicksilver World Mastercard reports as a flex spend card, but I would be scared to death to use it. You never know if these companies stand behind their benefits or if you will end up getting declined for your tacos. Nobody wants to have their tacos declined.

 

On a side note, I am totally craving a steak quesadilla now.

Wow, that's genius...  Dude got a 26K loan for essentially a negative interest rate after the 1% rewards.  It looks like all it really cost him was a 20 point score hit.

I charged over the limit of one of my cards by several thousand dollars to fund a CitiGold account.
