Did anyone else have their Amex Serve shut down for "manufactured spending"? Any tips for spending 10k/month for a cc bonus? (Can't use travel expenses - firm requires corporate card for that)

Venmo charges 3%, square charges 2.75%. Will use that as a plan B as that's somewhat costly for 10k+ spend.

I have a hard time believing it makes financial sense to TRY to spend more or month for a credit card bonus... Especially 10k/month

I don't even make 10k a month.... Maybe if you can expense meals that could help

Venmo/Square a friend (that's going to transfer you the money back)

Serve is shut off

What card had a bonus with that high spend?

And what's the bonus?

Buy gift cards you get many codes to waive Amex fees

PayPal has no fees I believe.

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
