Was wanting to app them for the free EX08 BC Enhanced, got a pre-approved mailer for the NPSL Amex.  I was worried about their INQ sensitivity through ARS but heard that the pre-approval was pretty legitimate so I bit the bullet and took the EX HP.  Called to verify identity the next day and approved with a starting CL of 5,100.  I know I've said it before but now I literally have every card and financial product that I've wanted to pick up this year so I'm placing all 3 on ice and riding off into the garden sunset.  


Congrats on the FNBO card!  I've seen the rumor about ARS, but was solicited repeatedly, so I bit the bullet after being solicited several times. Yep, got the card.

I was going to garden... Honest!

Re: Approved - FNBO Amex

Finally got approved after a week. No other information though, so i just sit tight and wait. In any case I only applied to have access to my FICO® 8 Bankcard Score from experian. Already have TU Score from Discover IT and EQ score from DCU. Add that to my quarterly myFICO TU 4.99 subscription, i am all good... off to the garden....

I apped late on the 23rd, CSR called me on the 24th to verify identity, approved on the morning of the 25th.  It was a pre-approval and not a cold app so that might've made a difference in the turnaround time.  Approval on website said card would arrive in 7-10 BD.
