    You talked about getting a credit card as a student with the big five banks, but what about with amex? If i were still a student with no income but with 2 years of credit card history , would it still be hard to get approved for an amex no fee card(I’m looking at the new green card)?

    On Myth 4, Moving the Statement Date, I asked to have my Amex Bonvoy statement date moved very soon after I got the card, and was advised flat-out this was not possible. I was rather shocked, given other issuers had always granted similar requests. So it seems mileage varies according to the issuer.

    “send a secure message to the lender to ask if the statement date could be switched from the 4th of the month to the 24th for the purposes of bookkeeping” this part is super smart! Thanks for sharing!
