Re: Mr. Centurion Just Got FR'd

This makes me worry about getting FR on my Zync. I put between 1500-4k per month through the card. gross Annual Income is 121k.  My fiance's income is about 65k and he is an additional cardmember...  Should I be worred about FR?

Re: Mr. Centurion Just Got FR'd

I think you're worrying for nothing.  You should be fine.  In comparison, we typically put $5k to $7k each month through Amex cards (Gold & Optima) and always PIF.  My annual salary is approximately $132k and my hubby's is $154k.

 

Been a cardmember for 23 year and have never been FR'd (knocking on wood!).

Thats good to know!  Me and Joey are both fairly young..  I'm 30, he's 34. We got a 20 yr mortgage instead of a 30 yr mortgage, and everything we own is paid for except for 1 vehicle, which is on a 36 month loan at 4% with NFCU.   maybe Joey getting his own Amex later on, but it works for us that I manage the finances and make sure the bills get paid on time. I can see us spending more later on down the road as his career rebounds and as I take advantage of promotions.  In the event that I'm promoted at work to a position which requires even more travel than I currently do, would you recommend an Amex Business or Amex Plum so that I can keep some of these travel expense balances from reporting? Does it even really matter if Amex posts a 5k balance?

I would get Pd but smc would say its aluminum and from my grandpa. Smiley Very Happy I mean, how else would you come to the conclusion that not having cards for a week is stroking my ego.

 

@web I dont think you have anything to worry about. This was a weird/not normal purchase. Im fine with the FR. Its not as bad as others make it out to be.

I dont think people see that you pay more for benefits, not limits/spending power. Im sure zync could do the same if you have verified income. As for FR's I dont worry about them and suggest you do the same. If they happen to do anything to your accounts there always seems to be Chase with welcoming arms. I simply pulled out the Amex's from my wallet, put JP Select and Sapphire and went on with my day. No big deal. Smiley Happy

 

And thanks btw.
