My better judgment told me not to app with AMEX due the recent HP's but I decided I didn't wait anymore. Called in my app over the phone and spent 10 minutes telling the rep my life story before proceeding with the application. Not sure why I told her my life story and entire credit profile before proceeding as it didn't really matter. She only inputs my information into the system and let's the computer decide. Guess I was just working up the courage. I gave her all of my information and when she asked me the last time if she had my permission to proceed, with a little hesitation I said yes..."Mr. so-n-so...I have great news...you've been approved". Happy dance!!!
This is my first REAL AMEX card. I've never even had a green card. I thought about going for the Platinum but figured that might be pushing it even though from what everyone here says the criteria is the same. Anyway, I just posted last week my success with Chase app's and said I was heading to the garden until it was time to court AMEX...courting's over...happy times ahead!
Congrats Mr. So-n-So.... Nice!

Looking at your scores...why don't you go for it? I've had 3 HP's in the last two weeks and total of 9 in the last year and your score is just about the same as mine.
