Nothing really new here to report , Amex said their investigation would be done by end of january. I called in today still no updates. Oh well I already come to realization i am probably not going to get amazon prime signup bonus. This taught me an good lesson. Next time I app for an amex card I am going to take screen shot with every step along the way when i app. I will email them my screenshots to make sure everything goes thru properly. I think i may have to do that with shopdiscover/discover deals/UR mall and all the rest as well.

Sorry Mong 
These lenders should just live up to their end of the bargain! Really, how much would it cost them to give you this benefit? Peanuts - in exchange for a satisfied and happy paying customer! The whole thing seems silly to me. I too will be sure to screen shot any promise I am made.

it is what it is, it was an expensive lesson to learn :-) Thats how i am looking at it now lol. When it first happened i was pretty livid about it, but i am calmed down considerably about it.
So i am going to actually use my bce and wf cards today so they don't get shut down i don't think i have used either in last 4 or 5 months. BCE has been sd since i got edp, and my wf got sd because its pretty horrible card, but the real reason is because i am putting my cell phone bill on ink plus now.
I had a similar experience. Back in 2012, I responded to an invitation from USAA for their American Express card. They were offering a 0% period, like 12 or 14 months. I was so excited to get an invitation (my first in many years) and I trusted USAA because I am a veteran and they’re supposed to be looking out for us. I’m a PIF type of gal, so I didn’t take advantage of the 0% offer right away. In spring of 2013, I needed a little extra time to pay, so I let a balance ride. Wham! I’m hit with interest. What?!?! I called USAA to straighten it out, but they had no record of my 0% deal. And unfortunately, neither did I. I searched high and low, but didn’t save any of my initial offer details. Expensive lesson learned.
Ironically, I have not used that card in many months (since August to be exact). I toyed with the idea of throwing a change on it to keep it alive. But my profile has evolved significantly since I got the card and I simply do not care if they close it for inactivity.
Side note…after my experience, I read through the reviews of this particular card on USAA’s website and discovered that I was not the only person they’ve done this to.
Life goes on...

Also sorry to hear. Maybe I should take screen shots as well? Maybe they have update on Monday, since this is the weekend? Too bad about shop discover, will be careful with that card if/when I get it.

Can anyone tell me why my seedling isn't showing? I have the code as the first line in my siggy but it's not working correctly for some reason.
Seedling fixed.
Good afternoon GC! Glad it's Feb!!!

I am ready for snow fall tonight apparently seven of next ten days it will be snowing should be interesting next week. I am going to try and pay off some of my Chase card next week
Had a nice plate of fresh cornbread smothered with my lady's Southern Chili and a Grolsch to get the evening moving.
Put the plate to the sink, slid the laptop onto the table and said 'it's time'. She looked at me with those pretty green eyes, thru her hands up and said "American Express?".
Yep, logged in, went thru the updates and at 64 days got the 2k to 6k approval screen. She put her hand out and I gently laid the clear plastic in her hand as she will be going for a little shopping spree tomorrow.
She said come on, we have things to do to get ready for about 10 guests for the game tonight. Nope, not yet says I. Have to inform the GC and change my 'hover' in my signature. She gives my ear lobe a flick and says fine, here's another beer and that she would get started.
This gardening is rough
