Here is a direct copy/paste from an AMEX chat where I successfully lowered the APR on my AMEX Delta Gold card. Hopefully this will be a useful guide for others who wish to do the same. First time a CSR said they loved me BTW tehe.

Lol. Congrats! Amex reps can certainly be fun! Sometimes with more difficult questions I would advise a person to call. For stuff like this and basic stuff, chatting is VERY FUN!
Ha! Congratulations!
Keep both your credit and your body in top shape!
You told the CSR you were watching funny cat videos?? Wow. I guess that's one strategy. Based on Amex CSR conversations I've had recently, I bet your comment made them hungry.
I always love the '(smile)' the chat CSR's have.
I totally perfer chatting with amex rep online than calling.
