Of course, I would wholeheartedly agree about developing a relationship with the credit manager. However, while they can make exceptions to the rules, that does not mean that rules do not exist. Drbond's post seemed to imply that there was a standard 60 day rule.
Again, I understand that these things are fluid and complex, but it would be useful to know the rules that exceptions are being made from.
