I only have one active American Express card and have had so for a while. What gives? Wonder how much they are spending on getting a copy of this every month?

Many others have reported similar review trends. It seems excessive, but Amex has been checking everyone quite a bit for some time now.

What I don't get the review of an account 3-4 days within each other. It's so retarded.

AMEX is known to follow your every footstep. Each credit report pull usually costs about 35 cents... but for AMEX, I would assume anywhere between .15-20 cents. Pulling reports on customers cost them nothing really.

Just curious, Chopbrocoli...how do you know this?

(I always wondered what it cost the ccc to do this).

Par for the course as far as AMEX is concerned. I'm a 29 year AMEX customer and they still soft me constantly on all three of my accounts. That's the way their system is set up. You can't change it so I wouldn't worry about it.
