I have been a member of American Express since 1988. Started with their Green card and eventually been upgraded to Gold, Platinum and Centurion.in addition, I also have Amex Delta card and American Express Blue. On average month, I use around over 35 thousand US dollars for many years. I have always been current with my American Express payment and always sent payment on time. I am totally debt free except my mortage. I do not have any seconds nor owe any credit companies. Since last month, American Express called me and said they have put my Platinum card on hold until I clear payment of 2200 dollars. I was surprised to hear that they put my American Express card on hold and told me not to charge any further as they will be declined. I asked them the reason for this since I have done more than multi million dollar charges with them since i became one of their members. They told me that my recent chargesof $2200 and on my Platinum card was over the limit. I did not understand how they calculate their limits since I charge over 35K per month between all their cards. After long coversation, I asked them to cancel my Delta American Express card. Now I am considering cancelling the others. They perhaps forgot that I pay over 3k in annual fess and charge over 350k every year. They even asked to provide w2 and tax return to proof that I am capable of paying high limits. I asked if I ever paid late since 1988. The answer was NO from them. But they insisted that I have to make payments before they can take the hold out to charge again. I am very disappointed with Amrerican Express for being a very loyal member for over twenty years.
