my purchase was denied

[Anonymous]

<p>Normally, I don't MS. I've never MS lol I have used one of credit card as a loan and taken money out without the cash advance fee. First time I've ever tried to MS for a bonus. I'll just have to figure out a way to make it work in my favor </p>

But why was it denied?  Just a fraud alert for unusual high spend?   Or did they say something to you?   I suspect this is a sort of non-story!   I bought, a $500 gift card at Walgreens to meet the spend, in this particular case it happened to be a retail card, but pretty sure Chase and other lenders don't really care at this sort of level.

 Buy Precious Metals (honest site and profitable item). The price fluctuates enough that I make a few buc's when it rises 10%. Throw them in the safe and check the charts every few days. Do some research to find low CC fee's, spot prices etc,

What is MS?  I checked abbreviations and it was not there.

They just told me I had a fraud alert. Then they told me my purchases won't be denied anymore after this. I'll try again tomorrow.

Google Manufactured Spending Credit Card and you will get alot of hits and you can read up on it.  Can't really be discussed or advocated on this forum

I thought about gold coins after reading a story about some guy racking up 3M points. *whistle* lots of trips there. However, I wouldn't know who to sell them too if I bought one or two
