But then again, one of them told me "We only contact the CB when you are applying for credit".
Z, those are Amex reps, not CB reps. Don't ask them for their opinions. It's like asking any FI CSR, "When will I get my points?", you'll just get the token answer "8-10 weeks from now". Or when your TD online application fails to work and you ask the TD rep why it's happening: "Oh, I'm glad you called me, I am a TD rep and also an IT expert. Just clear your browser history, cache and cookies." Okie, dokie!
Just have faith in our datapoints!
