Strategy to obtain US Amex

If I were in your situation, given your recent account closures, I would cool it on Chase for at least 90 days. But there's no hard and fast rules. Really a question of risk tolerance. I know someone who opened a new card after getting their shutdown reversed and has been going okay, albeit at a slow spending pace.

If you are primarily interested in a 0% APR, consider an Amex BBP.
I got a message from Amex that the CL on my everyday will be reduced by $1000 as I have not used it for more then 12 months , too many enquiries in 12 months , FICO score dropped to 712 and high balance to limits on some accounts .is that normal ?
 
At least you know what your FICO score is now!

I don't have personal experience, but I have definitely seen others saying that in the US your CL will get reduced if you don't use your card.
