I was pre-approved for an AMEX card. Called to apply and they put my application in pending status b/c they want me to provide proof of my employment by sending them a recent pay stub along with a letter from my employer corroborating my emolument.

Most places ask for your employers name, address and phone number and verify employment themselves. After all you could send them false documents. I would tell them your employer would prefer it if they contacted them.

It is only discrimination if they dont' require everyone to have a job.
Trust me, we all have to show we have the ability to pay.
