It's Official...I'm an American Express cardholder

[johnicek]

In short, approved for the AmEx Blue Everyday card. I don't yet knew the limit. And I had about 12+HP's and a bunch of brand new accounts within the past few months.

I decided to jump for the AmEx since there's no AF and they have a decent cash back system, and I have heard their customer service/benefits are good. So I went ahead and append for it, and in got the "Pending Approval" last night. This morning I woke up and saw an email stating I was approved, and the card is on the way.

Now that I have basically every type(network?) in my pocket (referring to Visa, MC, Discover, AmEx...am I missing any?), I should be set for a few months.

Also, to anyone looking to establish credit, don't give up, I'm barely 19, and I've got all of the cards in my sig, plus this AmEx. It is possible, and comes faster than you know it.

Congratulations on your approval, welcome to AMEX family.  You can call the status number and it'll tell you the limit.

Congrats great job! I think you have every network covered!

Thanks to all!

Does anyone have that number to call for the app status? I'm having trouble finding it, but I will continue looking.

I found it. Initial CL is $2,000. More than enough for what I use

Congratulations! Best part is after 61 days you have a great chance at tripling your CL to $6k. Awesome

Congrats! We're also the same age and got the same CL too.
