Costco Amex Approved!!!

Super happy!! And also surprised.  Received the gold card three weeks ago and apped in store today and to my surprise was instantly approved with a limit of $1200 which is my lowest limit but am really just happy to get a revolver with Amex so quickly after starting my credit journey.  Myfico equifax is currently 680, tu is 690, and I believe my experian is my highest as it has the least inquires of the three and also one less negative from several years ago.

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: Costco Amex Approved!!!

Thanks everybody!!  Off to the garden I go to let my accounts age, at this point the best thing for me is to get my inquirees aged off and get my aaoa increased.

Re: Costco Amex Approved!!!

BTW does it matter when I cancel the gold card I received just three weeks ago to get my foot in the door?  Card is pif at the moment if that helps. Thanks
