Another brand-new Amex (eta: and CSP!!!)

Just applied for BCP through creditcards.com and got an instant approval!! Relatively low CL ($2500), but I'm so excited to get my foot in the Amex door with the card I wanted. I'd debated starting with a charge card b/c they're supposed to have easier underwriting, but they just don't fit what I'm looking for. I was really, really hesitant to pull the trigger, as I'm still in the rebuilding phase -- glad I went for it. 

 

Next on the horizon is CSP, and I'll have all of my dream cards. I just couldn't resist. Apped online for the CSP and was approved for that as well!! Lowest possible CL ($5K), but this means the world to me. In just a few short months of clean-up, I've gone from having nothing but Cap1, Orchard Bank and Barclays Apple cards (with toy CLs ranging from $400 to $1200) to having a NFCU Cash Rewards Visa Signature with $25,000 and both of the prime cards I was eyeing. Bananas!

Re: Another brand-new Amex (eta: and CSP!!!)

Congrats what was the bonus you got?

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
