Twice in a single month, as well documented on the thread I started. The second time they "graciously" decided to let it go since I had just gone through a 5 week FR 2 weeks earlier....in which I had sent my bank statements, tax returns, check stubs and a vile of blood. Kidding on the last one, but wouldn't surprise me. Amex is kinda horrible. I had never made a late payment and my balances were under 50%. Even worse, they kept flagging me for "security" reasons (this is BESIDES the FR's) and I kept having to prove I was really me. After all, anyone can be running around with my tax returns, check stubs and bank statements, right?
After all of that, my cards are clear. BUT...I went to buy an airline ticket for just a few hundred $$ a few weeks ago and was denied, despite having plenty of available credit. I had to call for an approval. Amex apparently babysits anything I try to purchase over a certain dollar amount. I stopped using the cards, frankly. Trying to decide if they are worth keeping. I have other cards. I'm not 11. I shouldn't need to ask permission to use my credit, especially considering I've never done anything on my accounts to indicate irresponsibility.
