West Elm CLI + AMEX Warning

Hi,

 

It seems banks are still giving CLI despite volatile economic conditions.  Requested CLI on West Elm via Comenity website, declined. Called Robolady, approved +800 to $4800. Hung up and called back, another 1000 to bring total CL $5800 

 

Fico 08 Exp 739 11% utilization  4.5 AAOA Thick credit file (25 open accounts) w/ no baddies whatsoever

 

Also, if you have called AMEX and requested hardship during these last 4 months, expect financial review early next year. Amex was one creditor I did not call, AT ALL! Affected accounts will be those who have charge cards especially the Platnium. Amex will cancel accounts and blacklist you from any charge cards for 5 years. Charge card users are supposed to have funds for backup. Continuing to have a no pre-set limit will be too much of a risk. Some of you guys called too soon for help! This is inside knowledge from a reliable source. So start preparing just in case. Don't shoot me! I'm just the messenger trying to help MyFico family.

 

Even though I barely post, I love these forums because I gauge others approvals and CLI's to see if I stand a chance! Def saves me from HP's! Haha! 

 

OH! AND SAVE THOSE HP'S WITH CITIBANK - THEY HAVE THEIR PURSE CLUTCHED TO THEIR CHEST RIGHT NOW.  YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT SCORE AND STILL BE DECLINED FOR BOGUS REASONS! TOO MANY INQUIRIES, REALLY? LAST ONE WAS 10/2019 LMAO! BEFORE THAT WAS 3/2019!

Too many people w charge cards are burning Amex right now. This is why the algorithm system has tighten lending. People who are used to being able to charge 50,000 w no problems are running into problems. People who were able to spend 12,000 last month can only spend 2k this month, and so forth. I'm just giving an example. They are also definitely watching outside creditors so be careful with any balances going up because the system will trigger Amex account servicing team. This was info passed down to me. You will see early next year when folks start posting that their account is restricted and under review LOL! Amex is one girl I don't mess with! No honey! She's lethal when she attacks! LOL!
