Is there a limit on how often you can do temp thaw on Experian?

So I have been on a bit of an app spree over the last couple of months.  As a result, I have temporarily lifted the free on EX several times -- the most recent was this past weekend.  

 

Today, I tried to thaw it again for an NFCU CC app and it told me I would have to send them a letter via snail mail!  I had no problems thawing TU and EQ -- only EX.

Maybe it's a sign to slow down?  

Seriously though, no I've never had any problems with lifting the block and am not aware of any limits.

Not sure if you are Freezing your report or Locking it but I have to Unlock my EX a couple times a month due to monitoring services I have that won't update Locked files. Never had a problem with doing this.
