JUST GOT APPROVED!!! AMEX GREEN!!

I am STOKED!!  my first Amex card! I tried to apply for a Costco/Amex last year and got denied. Today, I got an offer letter in the mail for the Amex Green and I applied and got approved! Although I am super excited that I am an Amex member, what does the Amex Green card mean ?

- How do I know my limit? I know its a Charge card but there still has to be a limit.

-Also, does this mean I can apply for the costco card again without taking a Hard Pull on my credit report?

 

Amex Experts please help!

 

Thanks.

Re: JUST GOT APPROVED!!! AMEX GREEN!!

Congrats 

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?

Re: JUST GOT APPROVED!!! AMEX GREEN!!

Gratz! Even though it is a charge card you are right that there is a ceiling on the charges, but I think it varies from person to person. I would call and ask to be sure, so that you don't get declined when you go to pay due to having too large of a balance outstanding.

Ah I must have missed that. Yeah it pretty much was a cold app because I would take anything from Amex because I hated getting denied by them as I mentioned earlier.

 

Would you guys happen to know if it is just a soft pull now when I apply for other Amex cards  ?

-Also, does this mean I can apply for the costco card again without taking a Hard Pull on my credit report? And yes do it right now to reduce the likely hood of a 2nd HP

YMMV
