AA after using card at "low end" establishments?

Oh I definitely take it with a cup of salt . But I downloaded the whole presentation he was talking about and there's a lot of intersting things in as far as how they evaluate your credit worthiness.

Pretty sure Amex still owns a chunk of Epsilon Data (a dataminer/warehouse).. And still uses their services....

99% of the time we shop at Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and Wegmans, but a few weeks ago, my wife was driving home from a lecture for work and stopped at a place called Food Lion and when she got home I saw the bags with the Food Lion name and logo! Total was $87 and change........and she used our Amex Gold.....I immediately ran out to Wegmans and bought cavier and some other over prices items to counter act her faux pas!!!

If it happens again, it won't pretty.....

FWIW, I use my AMEX and BoA cards at Food Lion all the time, and I've never heard anything from either of them.
