Finally APPROVED 2day, for the above card! This is great !
How should I handle this card? Any suggestions? Can I use it at let say the grocery store, gas et? or would this raise a red flag?
Thanks!!

Use it everywhere it is accepted for all your normal purchases.

Aside from your scores, what were your vitals when you applied?
Age of accounts?
Income?
Any other card(s) you might have?
Any baddies on your reports?
Any and all info will be appreciated. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger for this card in about a week.

Hey krisosa first of all Congrats on the new card!! Enjoy your new card
You should use your card anywhere and everywhere Amex is accepted. I've had mine for a couple of months now and it has basically become my "go to" card, I use for everything, I even have it set up for a couple of automatic bill payments for my cell phone and cable.

Ok...Just curious. I am waiting to be able to get an Amex card. I need that BIG MAJOR CARD. I am trying to wait until my scores hit around the 650 mark. Which Amex should I go for, the green card or the Zync? Which one if any maight alow a ding or two. I'm also trying to get a few more negatives removed.
Thanks
