Financial Review with CVS 1K purchases
Searched for a master FR thread but couldn't find it, or this question
addressed...
If asked by amex about multiple CVS purchases of 1007 what's the best course
of action? |

That's a good question. "I'm very very sick" does not sound like a good
answer. |

Expensive prescriptions for HIV?
Is this a hypothetical or did you really get an FR? What'd they ask,
specifically? |

Just buck up and tell them the truth just like any Washington politician
would - that drug resistant disease you caught in Bangkok requires alot of
shots, doctor's visits and expensive medications. |

If it was a psuedo FR (i.e. just a phone call to verify that it was the
cardholder who actually bought it), then saying it's for drugs is no problem.
But if it were to escalate to a real FR from Amex, wouldn't they look
closely at the line-item receipts and see that the charge wasn't for Anti-
Retrovirals?
If you lie at first then it may just go away and everyone is happy. But if
you lie at first and it somehow gets escalated to full-on FR, then I feel
like you may be in even more hot-sh*t. Just wondering what the experts
around here think about that
And I know about HIPAA (work in a teaching hospital). But I can't imagine
Amex NOT being able to see what you purchased if they really wanted too. |

I was buying some over the weekend with cap one and got the fraud thing, had
to call...second time in a week. I told them that i buy gift cards and get
reimbursed for them from my company and each store limits me to $1K per
purchase, i said i'm going to be making a lot more of these purchases so i
really don't want to be cut off. They thanked me for using their card, said
they added notes to my account not to cut me off for multiple purchases like
this. I was also thanked at a separate CVS for buying $1k work b/c I just
made their store sales look really good. I don't see why Amx doesn't thank
us for our business instead of giving us a FR. |

Update and conclusion:
They did not question the specific purchases, however they were going to
need to see biz income on the tax return. When i explained it's a minor ebay
business woth no income reported on tax return she said if that's the case
then the end of the FR would be to shut down the cards, si i had them close
them now at consumers request. Personal cards were left alone, and did not
need FR. She said the primary driver of the FR was opening of 2 biz cards 2
weeks ago (Delta, and PRG) and SPG in August coupled with large spending on
the new cards. Lesson learned. When i get the PRG and SPG in my name i go
much slower in the bonus period to avoid FR.
Buy VR but do it slow. I was going to fast out of fear that VRs would be
killed. |
