AMEX Blue Cash Preferred Approved!!!!!!!

cambridgegrad · ‎04-08-2013

Hey community.

I was just approved for the American Express Blue Cash Preferred Credit Card with a 2K limit!

My FICO scores are 685 Transunion and 693 Experian. My oldest account is 6 years and the AAoA is : 2 years. I've had their Green charge card for about 11 months and although it is a NPSCL my buying power is about 10K.

Recently I was approved for Discover It 1.7K and Chase Freedom 2.5K so my card will be in the garden for now.

Can someone describe the 3x credit limit policy that AMEX has?

Good luck everyone on building your credit!

Starting Score: Feb 2013: EQ 659 TU 668
