American Express Platinum Approved

Just wanted to share a little story, since I found it kind of neat. Smiley Very Happy

 

I applied for the American Express Platinum card yesterday, since it's the only goal card I don't have. My FICO scores are all in the 730's, according to the lender I applied for a mortgage through, so I figured no problem, right?

 

Well turns out, I ended up with the dreaded "application pending" notification.

 

So today I'm sitting there, and go what the heck, let me call the app status number to see if i can speed up the decision at all.

 

The gentleman was more than helpful, and even thanked me for going out of my way to call and check the status, which I naturally thought was cool.

 

After placing me on hold for only about a minute, he goes "Okay sir, everything on your application was good, except one thing." I said "okay, what is it?"

 

He says "a big smile, you're approved, and I'm expiditing your card for free, because you put so much effort into being our customer and checking on this"

 

Pretty silly, but I was impressed. Looks like American Express really does have top notch customer service. Smiley Wink

American Express Backdating

Okay so, I just got approved for an Amex Platinum, but have had an Amex BCE since June 2013.

 

Will Amex backdate my Platinum to that date to help my AAoA?

 

Thanks Smiley Happy

yes

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

That was a good one. Wish more CR's would have great sense of humors like he did.
