Congrats 


Thank you! But does anyone know the answer to my above questions ? I have only gotten this far with the help of the myFico community. Started off with a 487 Score!


- How do I know my limit? I know its a Charge card but there still has to be a limit.After you get your card call in some CSR will tell you were the limit is set ....

-Also, does this mean I can apply for the costco card again without taking a Hard Pull on my credit report? And yes do it right now to reduce the likely hood of a 2nd HP

YMMV


Very rarely does AMEX CSRs give internal limit info out. I would use the check spending ability button online.


They do and will if you tell them your thinking about making a large purchase 


I think that is YMMV. More posters report no go than getting the info.

Exactly LS that why im telling OP don't do it now

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?

Would applying for other cards trigger a FR as well?

Re: JUST GOT APPROVED!!! AMEX GREEN!!

FR is a YMMV thing. It usually stems from:

 

AMEX thinking you fibbed on your income

Unusual high spending patterns

Critical report changes

No you will be fine go for the costco...do you have a membership with costco already? that can help in some cases YMMV 

if not it will be on hold if approved until they setup a costco membership which will be your first charge
