I decided to try for an application since there were some xmas shopping deals I could use to meet spend. AMEX keeps offering me Delta and the Platinum, but I didn't think I really qualified. Anyway I said what the heck, might as well app for something. Instant approval for the AMEX gold/50k offer! I then decided to try again with Chase as I was still under 5/24...got 7-10 days I always get denied by Chase and probably will again it seems.
Since I already applied and 2 of my cards will fall off in february I said screw it, let's see if that 2 in a day amex trick works. Instant approval for the Delta card/50k!
These are my first two real points cards, I've been studying for years how to use them for crazy deals, but had to get the miles previously the old fashioned way.
I don't love skypesos but there were some posts lately on the interweb on how to get better value, especially some domestic stuff. Anyway in the door at least. Planning another RTW trip in a year or so, they will be a big help.
Cap One score checker says my score is 694...close as I know at this point. I had applied for chase freedom previously with score of 721 and gotten rejected so who knows.
My score should go up soon, am finishing paying off a card. For some reason not all of my payments are even registering but either way score went up. Cap One estimator says score should go to 730 once everything is PIF.
I only got approved for Delta with $1k limit but I will try for CLI, I heard after 60 days is when to do it?
IF you want a card to get into Chase with - give the Amazon Visa a shot.. I have a feeling that might be the easiest card of theirs to get approved for..
I have a history of denials for Chase... But, finally they approved me a few weeks back..
I was denied for that a few yrs ago...I also really have no use for that card. What I really want are Chase Freedom, UA, IHG...maybe some things like SW and some of the other general points cards.
Well, back to the garden again for a while. If that doesn't work out in the spring I'm going to try for Alaska Airlines, AA, maybe some Hilton cards with Citi/AMEX.

Same here. I finally got in with AMEX (nearly cried)... I couldn't bring myself to apply for a second one, but is that going to be a single pull since I didn't do it int the same day??? I applied for Chase and got denied I called to see why and it was due to recently opened accounts. I didn't think the 5/24 applied but maybe I miscalculated. My wife, thought has had interesting credit. There was a public record that has since come off. She got Chase but was denied for Amex. Interesting huh!!!!
Great job, Keep up the good work and enjoy you're 2 new AMEX cards!!!

Here's the beauty of AMEX. THere is only a HP if you are approved for another card (if you are a current cardholder).. If you are denied, it is only a SP
Congrats!
