I decided to try my luck with American Express (Blue Cash Everyday) after including them in my 2010 Bankruptcy (5k). I held my breath as I pressed the Submit button. A few swirls of the infamous thinking circle and then....YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR $1400. I almost fell out my chair. I have heard all the horror stories of people being blacked listed for 10 years or more. I will probably be to scared to use the card but I will definitely carry it around proudly. I am back in the AMEX club!!
Starting Score: 700

Wow! Congrats on getting back in with Amex Zan!!
That's unheard of and unprecedented!
I've done so much research about Amex BL and you just set the record for the quickest back in with them!
If you don't mind me asking, was it chapter 7 or 13 that you said you IIB'd Amex?

I wish I knew what data they looked at. I didn't get a preapproval, I checked to see if I prequalified for any of their cards. My FICO is now 709 (went up 8 points today) 
Today, is a good Monday.
I started off with a Chapter 13 then I converted to a Chapter 7. I included the AMEX gold card in the bankruptcy.

Hey thanks!
So you paid some of the money owed during the 13 then. How much in (%) of the total balance were you able to pay back?
Sorry for the many prying questions as I'm really trying to gather as much DPs as possible. I'm in that blacklist by the way.
