Hello,

Just got this card. Went to pay some bills but could only pay one of around $500 and it won’t let me pay any others, transaction declined. Understand it is a charge card and the algorithm may increase my spending limit as I make smaller purchases and pay them off is that correct?

Let’s say I have a $2.5k bill. If I pay that amount onto the card from my bank via BPay, then pay the bill on the Amex, will that transaction/payment of bill still be counted as eligible spend for the sign on bonus points? Don’t know why but I swear I read something like “prepaid expenses are not included in eligible spend” or I could be making that up.

thanks!
