I Finally Applied For Amex Gold

FicoTron — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:58:38 GMT

I know I have been killing these forums with my back and forth posts about weather or not to apply, but I finally thought that I had all of my ducks in a row and picked up the phone and just applied for the Gold card....and....

after telling the rep all of my information the rep replied....Well sir, I have excellent news for you today, welcome to American Express and congratulations on being approved for the Gold card.

All of my hard work the past two years has just begun to come to fruition. And I have noone else to thank than these forums, other than myself for being patient and calculating. When I get the card in 7-10 days, its celebration time.

I know, I flailed for so long, asking the same redundant questions, I am so happy right now, and so glad i decided to go for gold, now if it doesn't work for me, i can downgrade after a year. But getting this card was only ever meant for a foot in with Amex...and I wedged that foot in today~!

Yay! Congrats, I love my Gold AMX. Did you think about trying for a revolver? You have pretty good scores. I am waiting till my Gold turns 1 yr old and then going for it.

Congrats !! Glad that you finally pulled the trigger ! Did they waive the first year AF ? And did you apply with a MR bonus points offer ?

I feel like I am a bit shy of being approved for a revolver, so I am going to use this for a year and app for one just like you, but plan to get a chase card this summer, maybe.

Great question, and this is good info for those that get the mail offers. My mail offers didn't offer ANYTHING, not even the waived AF. That is why I called and inquired about it to the rep and they immediately offered it with a waived fee. As far as points, I asked about that too, but they are not offering any bonus points with the regular gold right now...PR Gold offers a sign up bonus.

I know, I appreciate all of the congrats from people, but without a congrats from LS, I can't be fully satisfied. His insight has helped a lot along the path to my Amex.
