I also used the tool everytime to make sure it would approve a $4600 dollar purchase since who knows what "no preset limit" means to them, but at least in this case, it meant 28k. The rumors are true about what you can do on AMEX after a FR..
I know one person who was shutdown fairly shortly after passing an FR. I was actually surprised they passed the first one given the circumstances. In general people tend to want to talk about their successes in life and not their failures and that applies here as well. I'd be careful making general assumptions about what is "true." Everything here is YMMV.
