"Clark" apparently was good with the cardinals which says something about the quality of membership in the AMEX Country Club.
Clark's AMEXworthiness was documented in the WSJ Magazine.
Hopefully I don't run into the issue of a FR with Am Ex. If I do that may be enough for me to close my account. I think it's pretty foolish on the part of Am Ex to p*ss off good customers who make them a lto in transaction fees.
Our relationship banker from our one company bank was saying in the credit card industry that people that pay their bills in full are also considered deadbeats because they aren't making anything in interest. Seems that a creditor would be better of having a customer pay in full and making the transaction fee revenue off of them thyan having a customer that doesn't pay their bill at all.
