AMEX BCE approved!! $15k starting limit :)

Anonymous · ‎11-25-2016

This was my long term card goal!! Simply beside myself right now.

2 years ago I joined this site with a 595 FICO, foreclosure, tax lien, and several collections being the result of the 2008 crash. Didn't have a single cc to my name anymore that wasn't closed by grantor - I was in bad shape.

fast forward to today, I now have a mortgage @ 3.875%, a new truck @ 3.9%, several cc's over 10k limits, got a Citi and a Discover this year .......and now finally back in the big leagues. And all 3 scores in the 690's. I'm going to camp out in the garden for a while and grow this AMEX with the 3x CLI hopefully, I have several inquiry's dropping off in Jan 2017, the foreclosure has dropped off, and the tax lien reports as settled now.

I have so much love for all the info and guidance from this site, I'm proof it works!

Thanks everybody

I should have added that this was my 3rd attempt with AMEX, 2 declines over the last year and a half made me a little hesitant. But, I was given extra courage to apply with the power of Michelob! LOL
