I've been an Amex client for over 15 years, but I only got my first CHARGE card a couple of years ago. Right off the bat, I charged over $6K on the card, no alarms went off.
I'm not sure people who are churning AMEX cards, which is most people on the forum, myself included, have a *good* relationship with Amex (i.e. singing up and spending enough to get the bonus, then cancelling later). I think it's just maybe good to have some sort of history, but I wouldn't define "churning" as a good relationship unless you keep one card with AMEX (as you have) for a while... Do many people here actually use AMEX as a main card?
