Finally approved for Amex!!

Applied for the Delta skymiles and was approved but of course don't know limit yet. I'm pretty sure I was triple pulled just checked credit karma and it shows a pull from amex. Is this becoming a norm for amex or do you think I was I borderline? This is my fourth time to apply with amex over the years and the first approval I've had...let me tell ya I'm still shaking how dumb is that.

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?
