Do many people here actually use AMEX as a main card?
Agreed. If all you're doing is churning, and at jack-rabbit pace, you probably are NOT building good history with Amex. That's why I'd recommend people to get a good no fee Amex and (SimplyCash) use it, keep it, build history. It's not an overnite process. Just like your credit file's Average Age of Account, it will take time.
