RE: Amex preapproval, what sho Saying logic dictates against it, is not a fair assessment of the situation. My logic dictates that: 1. Private Payments service, and 2. World class Customer Service, and 3. A non-"R1" credit tradeline, and 4. Holds on your account aren't applied against a credit limit, and 5. The option to defer payment for travel-related products, and 6. Excellent online account access, and 7. Free internet service, and 8. Purchase protection, and 9. Lowest price guarantee, All sum up to a very logical move. Do your own math. Saar
