It wouldn't surprise me if CC companies monitored social media for reckless spending these days with all the info back doors out there. There is something that triggered the lockout. It's best to retrace steps to be sure about what originally caused the account lockout. That might be something in common with any card provider. When I was young and dumb, I got locked out unexpectedly after losing a job. If you post that you lost a job on social media these days... Lights you can't see can go off elsewhere... They also ALL know your bank account balance without you even telling them.

Sounds like you don’t know credit card companies at all. Reckless spending is how they generate a significant portion of their income. If everyone spent wisely, no one would be paying interest any more.

  Exactly, it's the opposite of what OP said. With some companies you are actually more likely to be given a credit card if you have demonstrated a shitty spending history, since that's how they make money on you. Paying everything off on time and never accruing any interest is not a way to earn any money.

…why should losing your job lock you out of your account?
