Amex is not the company it was. I have had an Amex card since 1977. Amex lowered the amount I could charge on the card 11 months ago, even though my financials actually improved! Go figure. At the same time Virgin gave me an Amex card( BofA )with a 40K plus limit.
It seems like Hilton and Amex are both getting penny wise and pound foolish.
