No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
This Card has been on my list since i started this journey last year andi knew once i got this card, it would signify i have made my goals as far as credit goes and i can just let time take its course.
So today watching football, i said to myself, i wonder what it takes to get an AMEX card. Looked on the forums and saw that i could have a chance, then i decided to see how many inquires i have so far on EX and EQ for the year since it was a toss up AMEX could pull from either one. I only had 2 on EQ and 3 on EX.
Decision Time. Keep waiting it out or, pull the trigger. If i get denied, then i just going to wait anyway till the end of next yr when i start shopping for a house and do it after. i convinced myself, filled out the app, looked away.......and approved for AMEX Blue Cash Everyday(Finally, i know what BCE stands for lol) $4000 CL which was even more shocking and now can't wait for the 3 month CLI trick.
With the 3 months CLI trick, do i do it 3 months from today, since i got the approval today, or 3 months from when i activate the card. How does it work, if someone doesnt mind helping a newbie on this. So much thank you to everyone on this forum, from those that post and gives more info, to the lurkers. This community has to be the best in the world.
Congrats! It's 61 days not three months. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the approval, enjoy the card! Regarding the 3X CLI read this post http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/The-Definitive-Amex-3X-CLI-Guide/td-p/1811071
Ahh thank you all for that. More research to do. By the way for any other that wants to know, i went through AMEX pre-approval and nothing came up. So if you feel confident in your profile, dont base it all on the pre-approval
Congrats on the approval!
congrats

big congrats. You looked away. Lol. I watched every turn of that dial. Good job.
As they said. 61 days not 3 months. And that is when you go online and it will say recent activity since. The date there is where you count 61 days. All will be auto. Click button. Put amount you want. No more than 3 times your current limit. Then. Approved. Or it will counter with different amount. Or it will deny nthen wait again.
Congrats I hope to become a member one day.
