AmEx 3xCLI on activation denied, gun question

[-Cal-]

There are certain payment gateways/banks who frown upon vendors who deal in firearms and accessories, this only impacts merchants. As consumers, I haven't heard of anyone having issues. I personally run a good amount of spend on firearm related purchases across all my cards including Amex.

As the title states, I got my BCE in the mail today and got the 7-10 day message on 3xCLI. Oh well. I'll try again after 90 days. For anyone that cares, I also asked the reps if purchasing guns is frowned upon or flagged somehow. Both reps said no, it is a rumor that AmEx does not like gun purchases, and that I may use that card to purchase whatever I like without fear of Adverse Action. I might just need to get that M&P Shield to meet my spend bonus. lol

No problems. I've bought guns for YEARS on my AMEX Blue Sky with no issues.

Whoever fed you those lies are on crack.  Amex doesn't care whether you buy a gun or not.  As long as they get their swipe fees, that is all they care about....
