Take the free credit check with Experian you will see if your credit rating has altered in recent months. You may want to take the paid option for a full credit history at £15 first month free then cancel when you have all the information.
I have never failed to pay Amex at the end of each month and note the credit limit creeps up every couple of years without application.

Indeed but we seemed to be in the realms of what people are alleged to spend. All I will say is that if someone calls and asks me to go and live with Him and his Centurion Black card, I’d say No in a heartbeat. 🥰🥰

Your post, in the context of a thread about BA AMEX, stated that a spend of £60K per annum or £5K per month would put such a cardholder into the lower half of spend on such cards. Irrespective of whether you used to work for AMEX or not, I'm extremely unconvinced and I would also be pretty unconvinced that using a median average, this would apply to spend on all types of AMEX.
