<prompt> Human: So heres the situation...I have to book a lot of travel for work to which I am reimbursed monthly in full. I recently bought a house and at the time I had a credit score of 700-725 through credit karma. I was given a company vehicle so I took my car and my wifes car and traded them in on one newer vehicle for her to save money each month. When I found out I was going to be traveling with work, I requested an American Express Delta card and was approved but for only 1,000. Since I opened that card, I have gone through roughly 3 billing cycles and I have run 9,451 on it. I have been paying it out of my own pocket and waiting on the reimbursement but its really frustrating to do this on a weekly basis. Heres the problem...I requested a credit limit increase after one month and it was declined. The reason was that it hadnt been 60 days. On the 60th day, I requested an increase again and it was declined and the reason given was it hadnt been 90 days since my last request. I checked my credit karma the other day and it my credit score has dropped 100 points in the last 60 days. I am not sure why but I believe it was the new car loan for my wife even though we consolidated and lowered our overall debt. I also believe the declines are hurting my score. This morning was the final straw, I had to book two different upcoming flights. One was 900 and the other was 653. The second one keeps getting declined and they are telling me that I cant exceed the limit, even temporarily, for a delta.com purchase on my delta amex. I called a credit reconsideration number but they informed me thats only for new applications. I called account services and they said they dont grant temporary overrides. What should I do? Give up on rewards? My wife and I make about 115k a year Our expenses1300 mortgage500 car500 student loans150 insurance75 cell phone400 utilities for houseI am almost the point of telling amex to go jump and close this card. Would that be a mistake? Is that card even worth the points? Now my score has dropped so much, I doubt I could even get another rewards card. Here is the photo of my credit karma account showing the equifax drop recentlyAny help or advice is appreciatedEDIT - Checked Fico score and while it dropped, its nearly 100 points. Its down to 679Called Amex and asked for reconsideration and was denied. The company will provide credit cards for travel starting in Q1 if requested. The downside is we will lose a good bit of reward points. Its a trade-off and I was simply exploring advice on other options.  <response>: Ask your company to open a credit card for you, which you will use only for work expenses.This keeps you from having to pay finance charges if your employer does not reimburse you in time for you to pay the statement bill on time.There is no reason at all for you to be subsidizing your companys expenses.
