One of my consulting clients is a small air cargo company. They were recently complaining to me because Amex had suddenly imposed credit limits on their platinum card that they have had for 25 years. As they use this card to pre-purchase fuel at various airports, they were quite unhappy to learn they were now 50k over their limit, even though the bills had always been paid on time for 25 years. Needless to say the Amex card was soon canceled. It can be difficult to do business without a reliable source of rotating credit.

As other indicated, some large changes will be coming to the CC Market in the near future.
