https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Recon-success-with-AMEX/m-p/92951#M19190 Anyone have any luck? I decided that since I have nothing to lose I might as well try sending them a nice letter asking for recon. I was wondering if anyone had luck, or if it is standard procedure to shoot everyone down.<BR /><BR />I am 0/1 with recon so far (shot down for CLI with Carnival Sea Miles).
