Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

I'm spending 8000 paying it back up to  328 then letting statement close then paying it
Constantly double dipping the same credit line, may cause amex to look unfavorably upon your account.  I think it's been know to cause Chase to do a A/A.  Is this a trigger for Amex to do a F/R?
Perhaps you should ask for a CL increase.

You should be fine on an FR if you have tax documents to send in if they ask.

It can happen, but if you have documentation, you should not have any issues passing it.

They say that if you pass an A/A or an FR, your credibility is much stronger.

What's involved in passing an A/A?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

AA is very different than a FR. AA most of the time results in shutdowns and has nothing to do with your app.

You're fine.
I thought that it's okay to max out your credit line with a business card?
Hi I have an ink plus with 5000 limit if I let my statement close with 328 and then pay it will that affect my business credit score?

You have a point, but if I keep my profile picture and I keep my name just change the username, it might not make so much of a difference
