100% correct on all points. I got into AMEX over 25+ years ago and they just do not bug me any more. I missed 1 payment back in the 80x (my bad) as I zoned on a date. Back in the late 90s I had to charge 4 WBC tickets on my account at $8K each and they bumped my credit up that day. The world has changed but thankfully AMEX treats me the same as before. I am likely the exception.
