"SOCIAL SECURITY # AND PIN # ARE NOT VALID...PLEASE HOLD FOR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE" WHAT??????????? IS THE COMPUTER IS DOWN???? OR AM I IN TROUBLE????? I DIDN'T HOLD...
RUN, GEORGE RUN!!! Just kidding. I'm paying close attention because I intend to apply for Amex LOC next week. Must you have an Amex card before you apply for the LOC? If so, which of the many Amex cards is best to apply for these days?
You do not need to be an AMEX customer to apply for the LOC. If you do want an AMEX product, I've heard through this board that the Optima cards are the easiest to get, though I haven't tested this myself. Good luck!
The AMEX databases are down for updating purposes. Evidently, they are running all there transmitals today to close their books for 2001.The rep. stated the system would be down until 8 PM est this evening.
What score is necessary for unsecured Optima card, which CRA is pulled and do you need to have at least one other credit card reporting for more than one year? I remember seeing a thread a while ago that said you have to already have an existing credit card with another company to qualify.
