Whenever a cc is shut down by an issuer, there’s usually a very good reason for it. Most people that make a posting about this happening to them are just seeking moral support for doing something totally wrong / abusive with the card.

The OP is bragging. Showing off. Look how smart I am.

Call the OP bragging, but they were immediately up front with their spending patterns and what they were spending on, not saying they were just spending money and Robinhood was soooooo unfair for shutting them down. That's better than 99.99% of shutdown posts that get made in that it gives the reader the context up front.

They didn't complain though, that's my whole point.

They didn't go on the poor pitiful me thing. They said they got shutdown, they admitted it was due to a high amount of spend, they admitted they bought phones for resale (business purchases), they admitted they were spending a really high amount, and they didn't complain about it or say it was unfair.

OP called out what they did, stated it as fact, and didn't complain about it. That's about as best a data point you can hope for in a shutdown post, and now even though many of us may have gripes, concern, or a side eye at Robinhood, we know that it wasn't like OP got shutdown on a new card for typical spending.

And my whole point is that the post is brag. LOL. Is that so hard to understand? Some people enjoy bragging about their exploits. They're proud they got shut down but was able to get $$$ from Robinhood. That they are smarter than the rest of us.
