I have some great news. 5 months later (december 2014) I tried to see if I can upgrade to the Macy's American Express card. I put in a request yesterday and I saw my new card today this morning when I signed on to my account. I was so suprrised how quick it was to approve me! I was so excited and happy. After 3 tries of failed attempts during the summer I gave up. I also spent nearly $3000 in the past 5 months so they also took that into consideration.

 

I still need to find out my credit limit for American Express. It wont be available until 48-72 hours later

That is great, congrats!

Congrats Nurse_J!

 

Outside of the obvious - being able to use the card for purchases outside of Macy's, what are the benefits to having the Amex version versus the store card version?


The reason I asked (via chat) for the upgrade is that there are additional rewards with the Amex. In February they review accounts, and if you've spent above certain thresholds, you get those rewards for the next year.

During the year they upgrade you, you dont immediately get the rewards; this is a good time since the rewards will be evaluated in February.

I was going to garden... Honest!
