Approved for AMEX BCE

Hey guys,

 

Just applied for the BCE on a whim thinking I wouldn't get approved, but I did end up getting an instant approval! I have one question though - it didn't show my credit limit anywhere on the approval screen. Is this normal?

Re: Approved for AMEX BCE

Congrats 

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?

Re: Approved for AMEX BCE

There is an automated status line where you can find limit.
