That's what got my first account banned at Target when they did the reseller sweep last year.  However, since then, I've been able to order through a new account without any trouble.  In fact, I have ordered more from Target over the past 6 months than any end user ever would without any trouble. 

Were you using a redcard on the tax exempt account and then still able to use that same redcard on the new account?

Yes and no.  However, I was able to use the Redcard when they issued me a new one and changed the card number.

A high profile member has been recently banned from LEGO LEGO Shop at Home.  I asked them to inform us about the situation, but they have not do so as of yet.

Did I miss the grand reveal?

I was wondering if in Lego scramble for cash the reinstated members.  I was going to try my vip card again, I guess not now.  Proxy buying continues.  Though, eBay, Amazon and target are much better than Lego purchases.

I was banned from LEGO Shop at Home last december, and I am way better buying from amazon....  I am learning that you could get banned from amazon as well if they send you an email catching you using two accounts... I use mine and my mothers and her account got an email when I tried to buy additional Santa's Workshops..... they cancelled that order..... could my account, the main account, get affected by that or only my mothers?

This is one of those things where I think, it's never gonna happen to me...but then the ones that got the ban hammer probably thought the same.

now Ed mentioned that it's a high profile member, any of you high profile? Lets figure out who it is ;)

Even though the ban is more symbolic than anything else (there are always easy enough ways to make purchases), it still feels as if I was just kicked in the nuts.

Yeah, I read the words "high profile member" and it was like ....Eagles...Australia, ah yes, furious_george ;) 

So, this would come under European rather than North America SAH rules, right?

I still find it absurd that LEGO spends manpower and resources to do this yet doesn't just reject purchases over the limit for a certain period like Amazon does. Not to mention these resources should be used to protect their intellectual property rights from the rampant counterfeiters overseas instead of worrying about the reseller market.

This is the main point here.  LEGO could implement the POS software to track all orders and limit purchases and freebies.  It would stop anybody from exceeding the set purchase limits and promo deals.  They don't for a reason...money.

I think the whole point is, that it's likely more expensive to pay for the manpower to go through this manually rather than paying for a pretty-easy-to-implement software update.

That is until you make them too much money, apparently.

This CEO seems to be yet another nail in LEGO's coffin. I've was banned a while back, but I was ordering obscene amounts. No danger now as I don't buy anything.

What and how many did you order to get this honor?  

I would think it is weird for LEGO to bring back the ban since their own oversupply has been doing the job just as well
