AMEX

I called a month ago about combining Hilton amex with blue cash. Was told accounts have to be open for 6 months. Fast forward to today and now I am told it is 12 months to combine. Amex certainly is not what it used to be. I get less hassle and more consistent information from just about every other bank. I do not get it. It is almost to the point of closing all my amex cards.

Chase def makes it easier to combine cards for sure.

I always thought the donor card had to be at least 13 months (or 13 statements), and the other card had to be at least 60 days?

I guess I am just old. Amex used to mean something like I have arrived. If you get that. Where i have arrived to is another question. lol

That's what it meant when I got the Green Card back in the dark ages.
