BLACKLISTED: Who blacklisted you? How did it happen? How did you fix it?

Blackballer: Trilegiant

Notice Method: Postal love letter from them; kept to this day.

Reason: Apparently, I had developed a talent for cancelling their trial subscriptions and did so one too many times in a row using multiple credit cards as distinct concurrent 'accounts'.

Effect: No more free money from them for some years now. I do miss it, but they paid me well already. On the up side, they stopped spamming me with offers.

So if you buy from OD online and return in store , you are given CashBack, or credit on Visa/master/AMEX instead of rewards ?

So I think I have a pulse with getting back in Chase's good grace. Tried the backdoor phone number for reconsideration and it sounded like I was approved and they needed 24 hours to decide on the limit (crossing fingers it won't be a "sorry dude" call when they realize I was a horrible unprofitable 0% balance transfer payer offer). For anybody that's made it back, how gentle were you with Chase once you were back in? One little card... two little cards.... three little cards?

When I try to log in:
There was a problem with your request
There was an error with your E-Mail/Password combination. Please try again.
Tried the "forgot your password" link. They emailed me to reset it. I clicked the link in the email and reset it, which it confirmed. Then tried to log in again and got the same original message. This started yesterday. No email or call from them. I may or may not have been purchasing some small email gift cards from them, but absolutely not anything HH like (like a few per day for a few weeks; working on ramping up).
Hi AZ!

I emailed them and they reset it to allow me to login, but same thing happened when I tried to purchase gift cards again. I think they are cracking down on the small gift card purchases.

I've never really been able to come up with a good reason for why they have such a low minimum anyway. Well, from their perspective anyway. I also find it ironic that a few weeks ago, I got an email from them that says:
Amazon.com has new recommendations for you based on items you purchased or told us you own.
Amazon.com Gift Cards - Print at Home
by Amazon
$0.15 - $2,000.00
So they told me to buy more, based on my previous purchase, and now it appears they are upset about it.

Recently did a mini-AOR and applied for 1 personal and 2 business cards from Chase. All 3 required review - called recon - the personal (Sapphire Preferred) was approved, but the two business cards were rejected due to a “previous unsatisfactory relationship with Chase.”

Lucky you. I have been banned and is still on the blacklist by Chase from early 2008. it is almost 5 years. I'll give a try right after the 5 year mark and see how it goes.

alpinewhite said:   My blacklist with Chase CC lasted about 2 years. I opened a checking account during that period to try be on good terms with them. I'm not sure if that made a difference.
You mean you are off from the list? I saw your old post saying you wrote a letter a Chase. Did it help? Did Chase reply to you?

Then I would use the gift card to purchase items online (with free shipping). Then once I received the items, I returned them in the store, and had the amount put on my Macy's card. Once the next statement cut, I'd request a credit balance refund check, and they would send one out in about 7 days. Easy money...such a shame.

How long (how much) did it take for them to catch on to that one?

Just got blacklisted by Staples - took me by surprise. I own and operate a 3PL and reshipping business, so I ordered a few things from Staples for resale - I have a reseller's permit so I applied for a tax exempt card. Their tax exempt dept got back to me and asked me to mail documentation such as my permit, list of items I would be purchasing, etc. I know that Best Buy has a policy of not selling to resellers, so I asked the rep on the phone if this is ok, and he mentioned that as long as I have a resale permit, it's fine.

Few days and orders later, my orders start getting cancelled. Call them, and the CSR replied with a "You're a reseller, so we can't ship stuff to you". Ok, thanks for wasting my time, idiots.

I get that stores blacklist customers who misuse coupons/rebates, etc.. but I don't understand why they would blacklist if there is no discounts being used. I could just walk into a local Staples store and buy the same things.. so what difference does it make?

It has been 5 years since all my chase personal and biz cards were closed. I recently received a preapproval letter of Chase United biz card. I pulled the trigger again on 2-12 and my credit monitor shows chase pulled both Equifax and Experian on 2-12.

CHASE 02/12/2013 Equifax
CHASE BANK NA 02/12/2013 Experian

I received the letter today dated 2-13:

unable to approve your request due to "previous unsatisfactory relationship with this bank". I just called 1800-453-9719 and the csr took around 5 min and came back with a firm no for the same bs reason on the letter.

I will probably give another try next year.

What are you in for? How hard this you hit the bank?

just did some BT in 2008 like most folks on this board, around 100k from chase cards.

AlpineWhite: I need to pay this CC with this Cashier's Check.
Citi: I can't do that because this Cashier's Check is made out to you. We can deposit it into your account, then, xfer the money to your CC.
AW: I no longer have an account with you guys (remember the bank funding days?)
C: We can open an account for you if you wish
AW: May I close it immediately after the xfer has been made?
C: Um. I guess
AW: I guess I can keep the account open. It will be dormant, though.
C: I won't open the account if you plan to close it immediately.
AW: Go ahead and open it. I won't close it (in my mind, for another week, lol)

New Account rep proceeds and asks me for my SSN. She types it in and leaves. A minute later, the Branch Manager talks to me while looking at a piece of paper.

BM: Mr AlpineWhite, we can't open an account for you. Something here is preventing us from doing so.
AW: Do I have bad credit? Was it Chex-System?
BM: Neither. It just says that we can't open an account for you.

I smiled and walked away with my Cashier's Check. I guess the blacklist from the bank-funding days is still haunting me. Lol.can you cash the check at another bank?
Yes, I ended up depositing it at my other buddy bank, Chase.
