Want to go on my 4th application
I dont mind getting FR'ed since I report my income 100% accurate
Am I taking any risks by doing this?

Even if you could "pass" the FR there is always a risk that they will just shut down your account.

Official reason being "applying too many times for the Plat card"

Did you miss the part about him applying for 3 (going on 4) Plat cards?

I'm guessing Dan has done way more than that along with lots of other people.

Well said AJK

If you go thru the 69 pages of the AMEX FR thread you could see that there is no given reason for a FR and they could shut your accounts for any reason of their choice

i can confirm 'this a financial review and we just need to verify your income' can be another way of saying 'you are not a profitable costumer and we dont want you'

If this C'V happenes, how long until they'll want you as a customer again? Or is it a lifetime ban?

Some people have trouble ever getting back on the horse, while some have weaseled their way back in.

(Keep tabs on AsherO and maybe you'll find out.)

7 going on 8, and on my second MB, next batch is gonna be a 3 BM plat!!!
wish me well on that

Although i just called for my wifes account (she had 3 or 4 plat's in the past) and i gave them
her social instead of her card number (which was stupid) and the lady said i see you applied for the same
card a few times in the past few months!!! i gave some lame excuses that i travel a lot bla bla bla,
she didn't buy it, she said it looks like your signing up just for the points and then canceling them!!!
so i had to play dumb and apologize a lot... but got off the hook at the end B"H,

Just a tip for those who churn a lot to keep in mind when calling,
