I've had a card with Amex since about 2007, and several years of frozen credit because a payroll file at a former employer got hacked. (It was bad enough that when I'd get yet another letter saying someone had tried to open a Home Depot credit account in my name in Arizona, I'd just chuck it in the trash because law enforcement doesn't really do anything about such things out there) Really boring in a good way credit score now despite that, at least according to the score AMEX gave me when I checked with them, and I was rather surprised that there was no HP when I did a DL application last year- just approved automatically without having to lift the freeze.

Sometimes I guess you get lucky with them in that regard.
