Please, don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that everyone will trigger a FR review, but many people have had this happen. Reading the AMEX forum, it seems that Flexselect is placing the cardholder into a higher "risk" category, which then triggers the FR. Despite me being with AMEX for donkeys years and immaculate payment history, that doesn't count. But then everyone on the AMEX forum says the same thing, immaculate history, blah, blah. So the FR does not make sense at all. But if triggered, it's worse than the taxman paying you a visit. one thing: if you do trigger it, MOVE YOUR MR POINTS QUICKLY!!!
