Well, we don&#039;t know for sure, we can only speculate.

My gut feeling is the BB/Serve product was just not that successful and, software speaking, it is much easier to identify the ones who were using the product primarily/heavily for MSing. So, they just did a purge, easy peasy for them.

As far as the credit cards go...I think it is likely harder, hopefully much harder :-)  And the cards are, overall, much more profitable, especially now that even more suckers will be...in debt for doing so much real spend &amp; then..., you know, life happens and they can&#039;t pay the balance off. #sosad

Wish an Amex staffer can fill me in, discretion assured #hint]]></description>

George, please let me know your opinion on this - if Amex is closing prepaid card accounts for MSing, why would they not do it for their credit cards? At least cards that earn Amex MR points, if not the co-branded ones. The target could well be those who used MS to get the signup bonus and never bothered to use them later or even those that were used only for getting signup bonus even through legitimate spend and closed after one year without any additional spending when the annual fee hits. Doesn&#039;t matter either way as Amex is anyway not gaining anything from these accounts. Do you think it is a good possibility or am I reading too much between the lines?]]></description>

Anyway, those Barclays cards... At that rate, active duty servicemembers will clean &#039;em out for all they got!]]></description>
