AMEX rejection

[Flyfrequently]

I feel your pain @Brucetiki
I have 2 Amex cards and the one I use all the time now, Amex Ultimate has sub $11k limit and other has $26k.
Have tried several times to "swap over" and have the Amex Ultimate $ limit increased but cannot do this due to changes in the ("money laundering" ) law.
Give it 3 months and try again ?

that amex "money laundering" excuse makes no sense

i was able to adjust limits easily a few years ago between edge and explorer

I agree @bobbinbrisco as the way I logically look at it, I have $37k credit available via two cards.
But that is the line they trot out. Amex has said that the rules changed not that long ago

Just ticked over 18 months for me. Applied for the Amex Explorer. Not asked for any documentation, got the "will get back to you in 5-10 working days" message.

As expected the standard rejection letter arrived in the mail today.

Given I had no other open credit cards at the time of the application, there can be zero doubt remaining that AMEX have taken the firm decision to simply rejected churners immediately.

I applied for an ANZ card the day after my AMEX application and it has been approved.
