Ask to talk straight to the supervisor.

If I downgrade my PRG to a Green card will the Green Card sufficiently house the MR?
Is there any other options to downgrade like a no AF Amex?

I have two Ink Preferreds (myself and wifes) that just hit their fees. Does it make sense to downgrade to ink regular or should I apply for an ink to get the bonus, and just cancel the preferred outright.
Are there downsides to cancelling the preferred if business credit isnt reported?
Can I move the points to my personal freedom card to save them if I do the cancel option?

Is it possible to transfer a balance from a business cc to personal?
Is there any reason why this should not be done (other than the effect of carrying a balance on your credit score)?
Thank you.

What is the best credit card to use right now to pay for a Ebay purchase? Is there a difference in earned bonus points Btw making a payment with eBay gift cards purchased from staples with chase ink card or paying with chase freedom with current Q2 bonus for PayPal?

I have the amex gold card premier.  One of my kids decided they want to go to a different camp for part of the summer, but we already paid the camp fee. The camp will not refund us any money (which I understand in a way where they are coming from). I wanted to know, can I file a claim with amex? its kind returning an item but the store isnt accepting returns. Do you think its worth filing a claim with amex or its a waste of time? thanks!

Disputed a charge on my chase credit card. While awaiting the final decision chase left a remark on my CR " account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements". My score dropped a few points because of it... anyone have any experience with this or know what it is??

Normal. Are you sure your score dropped from it? What score model is if?

While we're on this subject, is the FICO score that Amex shows worth anything?

Yes. It's a normal FICO8, I believe TU.

AMEX gives you a FICO 08 from EX.  So it's relevant to any creditor that uses that FICO score model from that CRA.

I have major beef with AMEX...I applied for the SPG card when the bonus was 35K. Before I applied I called Amex CS to find out if I was eligible for the bonus. The rep looked into it and told me I was. MY big mistake, I didnt get a ref. id to the call.  Fast forward a few months, I have yet to receive the bonus. I called Amex and they informed I am not eligible since I have had the card in the past.  Last week I went on live chat and spoke with an agent about this and after looking into my account, he said he was sending the denial back in for processing since he said I should be eligible because I never had the card before. This I got a ref. ID to this chat.   Today AMEX said I am not eligible bc I did have the card in the past. I asked them when and they said they cant go back and see when.   My argument to them is, if two reps told me I was eligible for the bonus, 1 we have on  record, and this was the only reason I took out the c.c, right or wrong, if the agent told me this shouldnt I be credited the bonus? Its not my fault if they gave me the wrong info. This feel like a bait and switch.  ANy suggestions? I have HUCA 2x and getting really annoyed with the "I cant do anything but let management know about more training so this doesnt happen again"...
