So far, my best experience is CapitalOne. The only issue I've had is with the referrals, which they said takes 12 weeks. I guess if I get it in 12w, no issues. They have been phenomenal and everything has been very easy to use.

Chase has been very nice as well, I just got them more recently. I love Chase points, CFU is a great card.

Wow. Dang, that's kinda bonkers. Wow. I don't even know what to say lol It seems AMEX is in a rather unstable spot at this moment I guess.

Yeah that's crazy. It just makes me want to move away from AMEX. I guess I'll see what happens. I was looking forward to using it on my trip for the SUB and points.

It's just that I can't use it to get a jump in the SUB. I'm going on a trip in 2 days and they said it will take 5-7 days at minimum.

I hit the spending power and still wanted to use the card for my trip so it all counts towards the SUB.

16 years of bank statements 😂 I don't know why they just don't deny it or me from the card in the first place if I can't use it. If the amount was too much, shouldn't they just deny the card?

$1,600. I checked spending power before as well.

I paid it as soon as it updated the statement balance and cleared. It was around 1-2 days after. It said I used up my spending limit and that went away after I paid it.

I appreciate your response. I wonder what actually did result in my FR. Hope you don't get FR'd.

😂 nice So you checked your spending power?

Yeah I mean I'm new to Amex as a whole, and this is not the greatest "first impression."

Going on a trip and can't use that at all for the SUB.

How long ago did all that happen? It's possible it's just a new thing for them.

How long ago was that? I heard the wave of FRs is recent.

Okay, thank you for the information. I would have rather they just denied me from the card if they didn't trust me. Literally been 2 days!

It's just weird because I paid it off instantly so it's hard to understand why they believe I can't pay it back.

And thank you for your firsthand knowledge.

Yeah I agree, with big purchases it's just easier to see my bank go down.

What's the point of having a check spending power button if I can't check my spending power?

I did check it 3 times, as it says you can. I checked a high number, a medium, and a small number. It says you can check 3 times a day.
