Woman blows $950k on Amex card

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/26 ... sues_amex/

A spot of Centurion-related hilarity for us all to enjoy.

I wonder if Centurion Concierge put her in touch with that excellent lawyer (I think the argument he has put across is pretty insubstantial!)

Just think of all the membership rewars points [:0]

I wonder if anyones successfully pleaded insane staying the voices made me spend that much!

Joking aside though thats a lot of doe, You'd have thought Amex might have noticed irregular spending and stopped it!!

I think that is a thing of the past, I may be cynical here but it seems that all credit card companies do now when you have an 'irregular spend' on your cards is increase your credit limit [:(!]

I know there is isn't a clear cut credit limit on charge cards, but I think companies could do a lot more to keep the credit boom under control - if they wanted to [}:)]

You scared me for a moment onionz when I read the title of this topic, I thought Birkin had escaped with the card again and had to rush off and check my online statement

Did you also read about the Bored Teens now that's what I call serious spending!

Sorry Bazz, didn't mean to cause undue panic! What a way to find out you've gone bankrupt! ;)
