It's for him. But I need him to get it and add me as an AU since I'm blacklisted by AMEX.

if you are blacklisted by Amex, he won't be able to add you as an AU.

---

It's actually not blacklist, just FRed, but I will get my tax return pretty soon anyway.  Do you think I can be AUed even if I am FR-unsolved?

---

From the examples I've read, nope. Not entirely sure on this. You could always try and see what they say. No harm done even if they say no.

if you freeze your EX, Amex will just cancel your application. Many people on FT have tried all kinds of tricks to have lenders pull from other bureaus, and there seems to be absolutely no room for negotiation when it comes to Amex.

OK. Thanks. That seems to be the case. I'll apply for PRG and SPG in five month.  Though I'm pretty sure I'd be FRed again after two or three months of usage of Amex card, maybe within the first month. I'll see if I can break a record of that.

If you were FR'ed, but you didn't comply and got your accounts closed, you will be FR'ed immediately upon approval. The new cards will not even be active or sent out until you comply and get the OK from the FR dept.

This is correct, if your not willing to give up the returns there is no point in applying.

Interesting. I didn't known an Amex FR could haunt you for so long.

Amex is afterall one of those few companies with an extremely long memory. The advancement of technology and storage space basically potentially helped to make it even longer
