They continue reporting every month on all three CRAs and the CL (at least on EQ) is factored into my revolving utilization.
From what I've been told by Dillard's credit department, if I want the Dillard's AMEX card, I'd have to apply for it--meaning a hard inq. They don't just automatically upgrade you. This is the down side of having my 16 year old account--the Dillard's AMEX card wasn't available when I applied for credit in 1991. At this point in my life, I'm really not interested in applying for new credit. On the other hand, I already have an AMEX Optima Platinum card that I only use 4 times a year.

I want to keep that card and hopefully have them upgrade it to their Amex Version then it would be more versatile to use the card. psychic have you talke to dillards and see if they would convert it to Amex. Then it might be more useful to you with the long age of the card and also being able to use it as amex.
