3 - 5 day message

I never got an exact answer but I'm wondering if I was gonna be approved for BCE that it would have already happen. The computer got confused and thought I already had a BCE so I called and the guy fixed it and now the app is in progress.

Yeah I got Amex Blue point card almost 2 months ago. I did get it today. The computer cancelled both apps for BCE because it thought my point card was BCE. So I called and the gentleman put the app through (don't know if it was the one from last night or this morning) still says in progess and my fico score on my IT card is 731

I just didn't get an answer so that's why I made another thread sorry

Okay, since you have an Amex already, I think you honestly have better odds at an approval. You have good limits; I'm just thinking the new accounts (especially the Blue) might spook them. I think you'll hear back at most in three days since Amex tends to be pretty fast. I also think you'll get approved for a small (1-2K) limit at first. Good luck

You will need to call in for the results. The online interface usually will not update on its own for reconsiderations.

When should I call in? So it makes no difference even if it was the computer that confused the applications?

Amex Blue has $500 limit.. so I'll either get another $500 limit with them or something slightly higher. Account has been in good standing so far though.
