Last month, I got a call, voicemail, e-mail and letter from AmEx, all telling me they were suspending my charging activity until I paid my bill.
Yesterday, I got another call to the same effect. After the woman went in to whole spiel, I told her that I wasn't going to discuss my account with her because I had no way of verifying who I was talking to. I called back and spoke to someone who was like, "Are you going to pay your bill on time?"
I said, "You mean like I have done every month since 1997?"
I don't know what AmEx's deal is. I pay my bill on time every month, my spending is almost the exact same every month and none of my fundamentals (credit, income, employment) have changed. Now I'm on AmEx's "watch list" and I'm going to get a call every month apparently to find out if I'm going to pay my bill.
What is the deal? I think this hassle is outrageous. If they call again next month, I'm canceling the card.
Has anyone else ever had a similar experience?

Had them put a stop on my account once as I went above my " predetermined " limit. They wouldn't tell me how much my limit was and the only reason I had gone over was because AMEX had managed to charge someone else's Singapore flights to my card while I was in Canada !!!
