You can check your spending power in the Amex app in the statements section.
Gang, how can I check my credit limit?

I called Amex and they told me there is no spending limit :gucci:
yeah you can do that but only press it once
if you press it more once you increase your chances of getting a financial review
it's also not the same as a credit limit

When you first get your card though, you have a limit and it’s low. It takes time to adjust to see how much you spend within the first couple of months or whatever. After that though, your spending limit gets higher and higher.

From what I heard (not sure how true it is) the Amex algorithm will take your highest balance over a six month period that you were able to pay back and multiply it by 3 and that is "limit". So it will adjust every half year. For example if your highest balance was 10,000 then your Amex "limit" will be 30,000.

The Bronx ➡️ New England
Capital One has been flooding my email box and mail box with the Quick Silver

Any brehs have QS? and if so, is it worth getting?

I would get it just to get the 200 bucks back and not use?
the welcome offer looks real lightweight. if there's any chase cards available to you i'd go for the offer on one of those first. if you wanna get this card just for normal usage and not the offer ion think it's worth it.

I have very big purchases coming up soon (which I have the money in full) so I am thinking about getting the platinum :ohlawd:

The Gold has been great for me. Can't wait to pull out the platinum to pay for a mcchicken and a small fry though :mjgrin:

Amex Gang, I applied for the Gold Card and Platinum Card yesterday morning (around 5 am), got approved, and FEDEX delivered them this morning…..24 hours later :ohhh:

I opened the thick envelope that came with the Gold card :wow:

Then opened the platinum package that looked like a birthday gift :mjgrin:
I wasn't aware you could hold both at the same time.

Why platinum?

as a platinum card holder it’s not many spend categories I use that card for. Card is the goat for the perks and ain’t the card to use for the points most of the time
