I'm not sure that Chuck is *trying* to get the points (unlike the last thread). I think it's just paying for things he personally got from the company.

Does the 3% credit card processing fee ($300 on $10k) justify the miles you will gain? How much is it to just "buy" the same amount of miles? Inquiring minds want to know. I use a 2% cashback on everything card for ALL my personal expenses (groceries, gas, utility bills, cell phone bill, food, car expenses, etc), and a different business card (also 2% cashback on every single item) for all my business stuff. Then I just get checks mailed to me about once a month for the rewards. The miles game always seemed like a lot of work to track everything, etc. Travis On 7/6/2016 12:08 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: S Corp From: Jason Wilson Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2016 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Credit card irregularities. Sole Proprietor? LLC or Corp? If you are a structured org (llc,Corp) and you have an invoice for said items then you should be ok. Credit card kiting refers to the use of one or more credit cards to obtain cash and purchasing power they do not have, or pay credit card balances with the proceeds of other cards. Unlike check kiting , which is illegal under nearly all circumstances, laws against credit card kiting are not completely prohibitive of the practice, thereby allowing it to be done to some degree. It is up to the banks to detect the practice and when necessary, stop it. In order for prosecution to occur in a credit card kiting scheme, a bank must prove intent to deceive. [1] Eq seq reference infers paying credit card minimum balances with credit card proceeds is de facto evidence of deceit. It all will depend on your CC Processor.

I just didn't think they would care as they are still getting paid and you'll be out about 3% of the charge. The biggest charge I've run through my own cars was about $300. I know square used to hold funds over $1000 for some period...like 7 days or so? Maybe that is too long, but I seem to remember something like that.

I've run my own card on my own account before a couple of times for testing and for paying myself for something as well. I'm not sure they really care, but I haven't read the AUP in like 4 years.
