AU on my husbands Chase United card. 765 FICO score, 9 years of credit.

Called 3 times over the last couple days and tried to get them to reconsider, citing the AU and the AMEX being a charge not a credit and asking is 3 cards (or what I consider 3 cards) really too many? Thought I'd go with the ol' "keep calling until you get a yes" approach. The last time I called just now and was told as soon as I gave my reference information that "I see on the account you've already called a couple times regarding this application, and we have already explained that you have opened too many cards in the past 2 years. What further questions do you have?" Was not expecting that one. Any one else been told that they are tracking their number of calls?

Also, resolution of that call was the rep telling me that under no condition would my application be reopened no matter what. Oy vey.
