Every single transaction is underwritten based on your transaction history and credit history. Everyone has a limit. Only Amex knows what that is, though.

Seems that dealerships in the states cap CC transactions at $4k.

That’s crazy. And I can’t believe the car dealership will let them charge the whole amount on a card.

There really is not a reliable consumer credit industry in UAE

All the more reason to not accept credit card payments . The Middle East does wire transfers all the time. You can pay

Not everyone in Dubai has access to wire-transfer accounts

I’m sorry but that’s nonsense. Anyone with the ability to put 100’s of thousands on a credit card has the ability to do

Hint - they don't eat any of those fees. If someone is paying sig figures for a vehicle using a credit card

I would start by finding a couple credit cards that require large minimum spends

If you can split the transaction across multiple cards, then sign up for a few

Most reputable places will not do large money transfers through CC.

I can’t imagine anything that cost $500,000 that they would be willing to take a credit card
