Amex Account Review?

in Credit cards
Amex keep asking me update the same information about personal and job etc, i don't get asked this with my other credit cards once i have received them however amex seem to have to keep checking and wanting updates.
I have never allowed any of my cards to run into debt so i know they can't be worried about that so has anybody had these questions on their account not allowing you to pass until you answer them, with my other two (non amex) cards i only get asked this information when applying not when i have been a customer for over a year.
I understand it might be a good thing that they check but it can be annoying to me when they ask about income all the time as my income fluctuates which can make things complicated, the fact i was accepted in the first place i would hope was enough.
