I guess it also depends on the situation.  I am MSD 1987, but with the OBC, I got shutdown the same as those with MSD 2014!

What you call "loyalty", Amex calls "internal credit score". All you are to any bank is a number. The only difference between a new and an established customer is that Amex knows more about you, so they can make more informed decisions.

I kind of agree with them. if you want to test your loyalty. its pretty simple. go to a strip club and get a cash advance on your amex. im sure you will be shut down faster than usain bolt in a steroid olympic run.


Really doubt that.  At most the transaction would be declined (assuming of course the strip club took Amex)


Most strip clubs do take amex by the way. they just call it larrys flower shop on the description.

In all honesty you did say what you were doing though and admitted to it.. So can't compare loyalty to this particular situation.  They had every reason to do what they did and you admitted that as well.. Smiley Happy

Re: Is there such a thing as Amex loyalty

To me i think banks have no loyalty to their customers, I feel the same way towards banks. Banks are out there where they can make the most money, i think right now that way is buy getting new customers to signup for an new card.
