    THANK YOU MarkLA for your post!

    Just called Amex, asked for a lower APR (for purchases) on my Blue. Rep was nice, but told me it's not in her power and that she'd have to transfer me to another dept.

    Talked to the other Rep. She says, "Sir, I've reviewed your account. Would you like me to lower your APR to a fixed 8.49%?"

    "Sure do"

    "Done. It'll take 48 hours to process. I'm also sending you a written confirmation. Anything else I can do for you?"

    "I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOUR BUDDY GOT 8.49% BECAUSE 9.99% IS THE LOWEST ON THIS CARD"

    WHAT ABOUT THE 5.99% BT RATE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS???

    "They review your credit history with AMEX and others"

    "I GUESS >3 PERFECT YEARS AND >24 OVER-ALL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS COMPANY"

    I TELL YOU...THE "GEORGE FACTOR" IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW, I strongly suspect the "powerful" dept. was Amex Account Services 1800-678-0738. But that's just a guess.

    George,

    1. The real "George factor" is the "too-much-credit factor" which applies to everyone who is in that position.

    2. Had I given up after the first "no" I hear, I'd still have that secured Capital One $500-limit @ 19.8% APR.

    3. I don't know if the people at that # would do it, but the worst they can say is your APR remains unchanged.
