If you do write a note though I will get back to you.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a deal that\u2019s been floating around the travel hacking and churning underground since fall, and while it\u2019s a bit fragile for public consumption, I have no doubt a handful of you are taking advantage of it to generate real cash-back (especially Patreons). One of the problems with the play though is that volume eventually gets you shutdown, and because the deal involves a real bank, it\u2019s natural to assume that a shutdown applies to a person and not just to that account.<\/p>\n<p>You can see where this is going from a mile away, right? Sometimes a shutdown is only tied to a particular account login, and all you need to get going again is another login. There\u2019s rarely harm in trying to open a new account after you\u2019ve been shutdown, so don\u2019t be afraid to probe. You might end up with a new account and new spend limits. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2329\" height=\"325\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/alec-abc.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/alec-abc.png 520w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/alec-abc-300x188.png 300w\" width=\"520\"\/><figcaption>This image should really be the site\u2019s mascot.
