I applied on Sunday afternoon and was instantly approved. As most of you probably know - AMEX does not provide the credit limit in the approval email. I called a few different times yesterday - and the rep(s) couldn't even find my application. I explained that I already received an email regarding approval - and even provided the last five digits of the account number that was included in the email. No such luck - lesson learned - DON'T APPLY FOR AMEX ON A SUNDAY - especially if your new to AMEX.
Anyway - I called this morning and was pleasantly surprised by a $15,000 credit limit. I'll probably never go for an increase - it's actually more than I'll ever need. LOL - but is was VERY exciting to get such a high limit on my very first AMEX card.
Thanks again for all your help and advice!!!
Fantastic! Congrats!

Congrats on the approval. Now that's an offer I would definitely come out the garden for!
Offers like the one you got are the main reason why I have myself on the do not disturbe pre-qualify list. 
Once again congrats
