So Amex tightened, then loosened, then tightened again.

And Chase may have gone through cycles too, I'm less familiar with Chase churning rules over the years so I can't be as specific there.

And btw CIti has gone through cycles too. They used to allow "fast" churning of AA cards, then stopped it, then a few years ago started it again, then stopped it again.
