Re: How Is AMEX on CL increases?

This is interesting!  Neither of my AMEX cards are reporting on EX.  I spoke with the "reporting department" at AMEX and they insist AMEX reports to all three bureaus.  I spoke with EX and they are looking in to it...well supposedly.  With AMEX not showing on EX my score is 40 points lower than my TU and EQ scores.

Some have reported getting AMEX Skymiles with FICOs in the low 600s, and I think a few got it with high 500s.
 
Don't know what's in Satan's wallet, but it's bound to have a very interesting rewards program.

Re: How Is AMEX on CL increases?

Aww... Tuscani, and most respectfully,  I am not Satan.  Nor am I in anyway, whatsoever, associated with Satan, though I do carry a First Premier bankcard, and am grateful to have it -- as they helped me to repair the damage done to my credit after the birth of my disabled son.  Between his AV canal and the myriad of hospitals and therapists, during the first few months and many years thereafter, of his life, I became unemployed and unemployable and the credit sunk lower than the bowels of Hades!  Then my car broke down, and because I didn't have a credit card, and not enough in the bank to debit a rental, I was really stuck.  The only people who would give me a chance was First Premier, albeit I had to pay for the chance with membership fees and monthly fees, and all sorts of other fees, and have never obtained a credit line above $400, but it was worth it just for their reporting every month, which helped me to re-establish myself.  I paid off the card several months ago and still pay the $6 monthly maintenance fee, but have graduated to a Bank of America with a $2500, so I guess I'm on my way, huh?  For some of us who need to re-establish, First Premier isn't so bad, and I just don't want someone else, who ends up as desperate as I was, to think First Premier's the worst that could happen.  For me, they were the best, and most certainly the best and only thing I could do at the time...Smiley Wink

Re: How Is AMEX on CL increases?

This just in. I did some checking on a few other credit forums. Here's what I learned.
 
Satan (aka, the Almighty) doesn't actually have any CCs. He does deal in credit, but the terms are quite different. Mostly involves contracts and wishes and a trade in on souls, or some such thing. Also, turns out a lotta people aren't reading the fine print. As such, when most learn the circle of H*ll to which they'll be spending eternity, a lotta people are highly motivated to get an upgrade or transfer. Seems that Circle Two and Seven house a lot of easy girls with loose morals, so those demand a premium.
 
Hope this helps.

His is always 66.6%. Go figure.

Yes but he probably has a great credit score.  Think of all those AUs he has.

Hi, sam, you've taken us on a time machine here. This post was from back in May, and things have certainly changed since then! What you were told is the current reality.
