The goal would be to bang out the card in 1-3 days. No single purchase over $2500 so it wouldnt get flagged. 2-3 purchaes in a day or else the fraud dept gets flagged. A 20k card wasnt really worrh it becaus it would get flagged well before that limit.
5k gold cards were the best back then.
They were like heroin, very addicting. Unfortunately it was only a matter of time until the postal inspectors got involved and they live for that shit.
Sure, credit cards were a violation of Federal criminal statues, and criminal use of the mails. The U.S. Postal Inspectors, the FBI, the Secret Service...the whole gamut of local and federal authorities eventually joined the game.
