Because I'm sort of a Wild Man

After getting approval for my NFCU and USAA credit cards in early September, which increased my CL from 8.5k to 28.5k, I got some CC offers from my primary bank and my retirement bank this week. In the middle of considering which offers might interest me, I decided to check and see what AMEX offered, cold call style.

 

They gave me a pre-approval for an AMEX PRG with 50k bonus points after $1000 spent, and I couldn't be happier! I just got my first AMEX! 

 

I'd like to mention again that the info and support I've received while on the myFICO forum has been the driver of a lot of positive financial change (including a new house and almost 100 points better credit rating) and i'm extremely grateful. Thank you everyone Smiley Happy

That's a great offer. I took them up on that this March. That same day I was also approved for BCE. One pull for both. Welcome to AMEX!

Nice. I just got my first AMEX also in PRG a couple weeks ago. Same PTS and Spend. It's not exactly what I had expected (site layout and lack of limit $ info) and I don't know anything about spend limits (I just havn't hit the button yet). All I know is that I used it today to buy a fridge and it wasnt declined.... Smiley Very Happy
