Many times Amex CSRs on the lower end behave as if they worked for Cap One, so try and take it up a notch and speak with a higher up person. I did that and I emailed them and finally, almost a month later, got a response. The response was in my favor over the bonus rewards miles for my Delta card. I was offered by the same person a recon on my 61 day CLI request that I did not pursue. I figured I would just wait that out a bit. I am at the 5 onth mark with them and also know that I must wait until the 22nd to ask again. It is automatic denial if it has been less than 3 months since the last request. (Good or Bad.) I do think taking it up a notch will prove to be the best way to handle it.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.
