- throwaway313373 2y agoIs it a violation of any of the policies?
- umaar 2y agoI imagine it's not, but can also see automated systems flagging the number as being the recipient of messages for over a hundred different financial institutions.
- qwerpy 2y agoMaybe not but I bet that this many unique credit card emails eventually tripped over some threshold in a risk model. It’s too hard to adjust the model for one person, and putting in an exception for this one person means they take on additional risk if that person then goes on to actually do bad things. To be clear I’m not saying it’s ok. Google should make it right and then invest in a scalable way to not keep doing this.
- dguo 2y agoAuthor here. That's a good hypothesis! But I have a strong preference for email over SMS for communication from companies, so I receive almost no texts from credit card companies. It's pretty much limited to an occasional authentication code for logging in (since TOTP-based two-factor is so unfortunately rare).
