You go girl with your 704 score!! Wonder why they are worried with little ole' me.....I think my combined AMEX limit is 8000.000.....and would never max that out. Oh well! I can live without them too!!! And i can/ will also keep all this in mind when I'm 40 years old, making lots more money, my scores are superb and they are begging for my business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might be interesting to note that in a couple of instances when threatened with "You can have your cards, I'll just take my business elsewhere," the F/R was stopped. However, in such cases those who were under review were long time card holders who deal in very high figures, so I wonder what their reaction would be to a newcomer with a menial Blue? We'll see! If I am F/R'd I fully intend to send in a bit more than a tax form, anyway, though the tax form will most certainly substantiate the income I stated. It's just not all mine, and that's what troubles me. And if they ask for bank statements? Forget about it! 20% of the $2000? HA! But you know what? Life goes on, does it not, and I can most certainly live without AmEx. I mean, Look at me and my bad self! TU Fico 704 and I did it without the prestige of Amex but with the muster of First Premier!

....I personally think it's because I applied for 3 cards all within a matter of a week, and then turned around and asked for CLI on two of them.....Flygirl, sorry you're having to go through this hassle. I hope it all turns out ok. I was thinking the same thing, most that were hit with the FR are the one that applied for several cards.I only applied for one, but I did ask for a cli upon activation. I'm getting ready to go to Hawaii and use the h*ll out of it, (pay it off when i get home) so keep you fingers crossed for me.

They act as if I am stealing from them or something. I really don't want to close the card because I love Costco and love that I get a rebate for what I spend. What's the email address you used to send your complaint?
