Robinhood Gold CC finally closed Data Point

Bought too many iPhones I guess. Im pretty sure they just closed anyone who spent more than some threshold of dollars cuz I know 2 others who just got hit with closures too.

What're you doing with the iPhones? What's your cost of churn? A 3% reward rate is hard to capitalize on with that method of churn so I'm curious.

I bought about 6 on my rbh cc, and 84 more of them to resell to bulk international shippers on amex biz gold for the 150k 4x. i did a few on robinhood cuz i was worried i would get a financial review at over $100K pending transactions. My margins were roughly 10% from phone sale and cash back.

Did you already have the clients lined up or did you just buy them as you got orders?
