      I think they like when people lie because it means as a company they can’t take advantage of your stupidity and make money from you. But when they see it possibly not going in their favor they decide to make sure everything is in order.

      I disagree, a credit card is not an application for a mortgage. There's a reason sone people get a large credit limit and some don't. , or why some people only can get secured cards. I would hate to have to provide documentation for a coti double cash or a Sapphire student starter card.

    How much does net worth play in a American Express financial review? Because of an inheritance in 2020 my net worth is about 10 times my annual earned income. I notice American Express is the only credit card I have that gives you the option to report your net worth.

    If I make several payments a month on my account gold plat green say $500 here for $700 there several times a month. I dont like to end up with $5K balance, but take a bite out of my balance as I go along. Is this a issue?❓⁉

      If the $5k amount is within your normal range of monthly spending then you should be fine paying as you go.

    Hello, I'll try to keep this short. First things first, paid off my bal. on my Green card every month and in good standing. We went to Seattle for a game. Used my card on dinning. the next day they cut my line by 1K? There reason was a lower credit score. I used a Discover card for vehicle service at $2800 for repairs and I moved into a brand new apartment which resulted in a credit inquiry. Thank you for the video.

      That’s a bummer. My score has dropped to 640 from 720 because of holding a big balance on my Citi card but payed off in 2 months. Fortunately Amex never gave me grief. I have 3 business cards, Gold and BCE with Amex. I’ve ran 10s of thousands through my Amex cards but have eventually always paid to $0. It varies from person to person

    I recently got hit with a financial review by AMEX and they lowered my limits on both my business Gold and Platinum cards. I'm wondering about the future; now that I've submitted all documents and completed the review process, can this happen again? I got the review for high-velocity spends in the first place. Would like to avoid it going forward if it's even a possibility again.

    please tell me that's just for their regular cc's, if they also do a financial review for high spends on their business cc's that's just retarded because bcc's are meant to have high spends on them.

    • @veronikagundersen9334
      @veronikagundersen9334 Před měsícem +2

      It’s not so much high spends, rather it’s spending behavior that they deem out of the ordinary for you, outside your income level, or otherwise risky. Amex has intimate data on spending since they’re both the lender and the payment network, and their algorithm will flag accounts when something is out of the ordinary.
      But spend normally and it won’t get flagged. If it’s normal for someone to spend millions on an Amex card and it gets paid regularly, then it probably won’t trigger a review. People have had Amex cards for decades and have never gotten one.
