Amex bill pain...

[HRoi]

so Amex has this online feature where it graphs out your spending by category.... for my current statement, it works out to be: 80% Merchandise 16% Dining 3% Travel 1% "Other Merchants" hmmm....i think i might have a problem

 

[anon]

mine is like 80% dining.

 

[intent]

Where can you find this? I only get a bar graph split by dollar amount.

 

[Mr. Moo]

Totals, please.

It's usually travel/dining that crush me

 

[HRoi]

so i guess what it says about me is.... i spend all my money on clothes and other stuff, but then i never go out or have enough of a life to use my purchases enough...

I was just glancing over my year end summary and found they put things in the wrong category. I noticed a jacket I had made by my tailor was filed under "communications."

Dang last year I was about 70% travel & 15% dining

I spent $36k USD on travel and dining

I was paid $45k USD via per diem

Paid my bill every month on time. My credit score has gone down 250 points; explain that!

Did you pay your bill in full every month on time? If you didn't that is why your score went down.

None of these numbers make any sense.

AMEX is a charge card, you have to pay in full every month. Yea they offer some customers that flex pay nonsense, but I don't think any rational people take them up on that "perk."

I get paid a certain amount daily for expenses while traveling. I try to spend as little as possible and pocket the rest.

Re Amex: paid in full every mo

There is obviously another reason why your credit score went down.
