Amex NPSL - How do you "know" if transaction will be ok'd?

[chrisw1968uk]

Hi

I'm firmly in the garden (and looking for how to get a spade on my signature) - i would like to app for an amex gold charge in 12 months time, is there any way a knnowing if a transaction will be approved?

What i mean is - say you got your card, activated it - and went to Best Buy for your new $2000 tv - you have no way of knowing if the transaction will be approved or declined?

My mind is wandering - in anticipation lol

You can also call them to check.

Yup and I think there's also a limit on how many times you can use that feature in a day.  I tried and it only works like 3 times a day and will reset in 24 hrs.

Really? I have not experienced that when checking. I've used it more than three times in a day and it will continue to "check" for me.

Yeah. Once the bear has been awoken there is no going back. It then becomes a run for your life situation
