Inspired by Jason's (Amex rep) suggestion on CardWeb, I proceeded to call AMEX Dept. of New Accounts M.O.R.E (whatever than means). I could not get Amex Blue for insufficient credit history (it was too short). I asked the nice M.O.R.E rep to transfer $2,000 of my Optima Platinum credit limit to the Blue, and to reconsider my application for the Blue at the same time. She told me they don't usually do this (the norm is to have the previous account closed altogether), but this time she'll do it and override the decision regarding the Blue. Go AMEX ! Saar
Could you please summarize your previous two parts of the AMEX trilogy? Was your sole reason for denial (based on the denial letter received in the mail) insufficient established credit? And how in the world did you have an Optima Platinum, but be denied for a Blue??

"And how in the world did you have an Optima Platinum, but be denied for a Blue??" Structure change. To learn more about structure changes, use the same search as above - I've explained everything in previous posts. Saar
SAAR, PLEASE READ Could you please part with the number to them? I need to speak to them-- kind of a semi-urget situation. If you don't want to post it, please, let me know and I'll post my email address! Thank you!
