2 AX approvals in the same week!!!

I really can't believe this right now. I app'd for the BCE last weekend and was asked to call in. I thought it was a denial but after reading on here or sounded like it was just a verification. I called in the next day and they just wanted to verify my info and said I was approved for $1k! I got my foot in with AX after years of rebuilding!!!

When card arrived in did a CLI and was approved at $2k.

Then I decided I'd give the AX Everyday a try. Filled out my app and was asked to call in. Called in and they said I had app'd too close together and would have to wait 5 days. Today was day 5 so I called in to inquire. CSR put me on hold for a minute then came back and said "I don't want to make you wait the 7-10 days..." (I thought he was gonna say for the denial in the mail) ... "So I'm going to rush you your new card. Congratulations. You've been approved." I asked how much and he said $5k! This is now my largest account.

A little bit in shock. Scores are sitting between 630-650 right now.

Starting Score: EX: 560 on 11/1/11
Current Score: EX: 651 on 1/31/16
Goal Score: 700

That's great, congrats!

So you called in when activating your first amex and for a cli? If so, I may try that.

Re: 2 AX approvals in the same week!!!

From reading on here I found out you can request a 3x CLI at activation. So the day I got my card I logged in online and asked for triple. They countered at double and I accepted. Now I can't ask for CLI for 6 months on either the new card or this card. Wishing I would have waited to find out about this card to request the CLI on this account. $15,000 would have been great Smiley Happy

Congrats!

 

I'm wondering if I should try for a second once 5 days passes, since the first was an instant approval, though I already have another new card that's yet to report.
