I hadn’t used FOLD much since the whole ‘we banned you. oops. okay we unbanned you’ debacle. Well, I started using it again in December and spent my $20K limit. Then I did the same in January. Then after about $15K in February (over a span of a week,) I tried to make another payment and my card got declined. I couldn’t even buy a sub $1 item at a grocery store so I knew something was up. I then emailed them a couple of times and they eventually came back with this:

I haven’t used my card since I got the email just because I’m trying to figure out an actual use of the card. I’m hearing others are getting this too; so maybe lay low if you’re hitting this hard.
I’m having this issue now. How did yours turn out? When did you get Venmo with fold back?!
