AMEX suspend my Platinum Charge Card

[Freq Flier 2013]

Yesss!!! Thanks mate! I will bring this on too when they call me on Monday again after their 3rd review LOL

Any further news?

If they cancelled my card in that situation I'd almost be inclined to never pay it, let it default and be cardless for 5 years..

I dont think so, if i dont pay it will still breech the contract and turns up they will charged me interests. But yeah, thats good idea to annoy them back

You spent on the card, you pay it off.

I have had a love/ hate relationship with AMEX for near on 40 years. I started with a green charge in the late 80’s early 90’s. That eventually became a gold card, at some point it turned to Platinum. I have no idea how AMEX monitor spend, in 2007 I had called and asked if they would knock back a one off charge for approximately $150K (x3-5 my normal spend) I had to provide evidence I could facilitate the payment at month end which I did, the answer was we will approve. 2 months later I attempted to put through a single charge for $12K and it was knocked back, in the same month I was sent an invitation for the black card (centurion), go figure.

Sounds like one hand not talking to the other. Having worked with banks, not surprising

Hope you get things sorted, petroslakis.

I have the personal platinum card that I just use for normal day to day spend / travel expenses.
80% of my income is as a sole trader, the rest salaried.

If I were to pay my PAYG / BAS with this card through sniip etc, would that be frowned upon as a business expense? I assume would be fine given it’s my personal income tax being paid, but haven’t tried with the Amex.

I've had no issue paying personal tax.
