I finally pulled the trigger and applied by phone.

I was shocked and ecstatic to hear "Welcome to American Express".

INSTANT APPROVAL!! I DID IT!! WHOO HOO!!

Thanks to all who gave me advice and encouragement ... I am now thinking I need a comparable Visa or MC to go along with it .... thoughts? Ideas?
