1995: Got approved for the AMEX BCE (I think it was that one) with a $3,500 limit
that is great congrats!
It went exactly like it was supposed to. Make sure you use their offers to make up for the annual fee. I wish I had started at 900. I am stuck with 500 limit card for another 6 months and hopefully by then I would get more than just 3 times the current limit.
Congrats on getting back in with Amex! Nice job!
I will be starting the battle with them next month. I was promised I would be allowed back in but I cant find anythibng in writing, so I might be out of luck.
Congrats to you though.
Great job Cam... Glad your able to stay with Amex, your doing it right.
Stay with it.... I was never in the Optima Oasis plan but in a worse situation than you years ago. I have the Optima Platnium Card ( which was dicontiued, but they still issue it for me) This is what can happen over time with AMEX.
Awesome job on getting back in. I had a similar situation to yours with the chargeoffs in 2010-2011. I paid American Express back last year but unfortunately have not gotten any offers for the optima card. I remember getting them a few years ago, but not since.
Tried every number I could find online to no avail. They just will not let me back in that way. Said if I wasn't solicited for it, they couldn't offer it to me. I'll have to try the old fashioned way. Scores are hovering right at 700 ( should be there after my util drops from 5 % to 1%). But I'm too chicken to pull the trigger and try.
Oh well, someday I'll get back in. Congrats again.
I love the fact that AMEX is such a forgiving company that as long as you pay them back they will find a way to let you back in.
I'm under their new payment plan where they gave me a year to pay them back and my card will be re- activated.
I 've made great progress so far. Started on the payment plan with a balance of $3,400 now at $2,05. Wife started a new job so I predict it will be paid off soon currently @ 5/12 payments on their payment plan.

Call their Global Collections Department. They should be able to help.
