ARGH I checked back today and they said it would take the department who works on these things a week to get back to me because they have a high volume right now.  This whole process should teach me some patience finally, huh?  Smiley Happy


They got back to me and GUESS WHAT!  My little $300 unsecured Platinum card from last July which only got a bump to $500 at seven months is now a QS1 with a $3000 limit!!!  I just contacted them on Facebook and the Executive Office responded to my message asking for my number then called me and handled the whole thing. It took about a week!  WOW, WOW, wow!!!

 

Thanks so much OP for the inspiration.  This is huge for me.

Who do you contact istead with your concerns?


Really? Smiley Wink Of course, I contact the CSR in some form. Meaning, I choose not to call predominantly. If it can be handled via chat, that is my preferred method of communication with companies. However, sometimes nothing can be a productive conversation. 

 

There's no secret place that I contact. Smiley Happy
