Utilization of each card or of total credit ?

Total, but in general the bank's don't like to see that you use all the limit of a card, it's makes them more worry. (Might be different if it's a 0% apr, as they understand that's it's for that reason ..)

Hahahahaha!! My understanding is that all the amex changes are taking affect after 12/31.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Is Amex still better than Chase & Barclay for long term protection/warranty ?

If I brought an item with a chase card and they closed the card, can I still utilize the extended warranty benefit?

I know with chase you can request a replacement (due to damage etc) for a card and use both at the same time. will this work with amex?

Yes it should work as long you dont say lost or stolen.

Have received an email from citibank: activate your low promo rate 0.00% promotional APR on all new purchases until 8/1/2020, is it okay to ask another bank like chase if they have such promo option as well with my ink card?

You can ask, but I doubt they'd create an offer for you. If they have a similar offer, them may match though.

Question is if by asking for such an offer is that a red flag for them.
