in my opinion though you're better off building a solid credit history than using a prepaid card that if it even does help, only helps with one lender. a solid credit history will always help and the pre-paid card might not.
Im on my third week using mine. What I'm doing is loading 200-300 per week on card and then using it for my dining and entertaining expenses. I have two normal credit cards that I'm pushing 1000 on one and 2000 on the other per month and using those for bills and groceries. The earliest you will receive an invitation to get another AMEX product based on the prepaid card is 6 months.
There have been posts from people who have used it less than six months and applied on their own and were approved for another AMEX card. There is no way to tell if the use of the prepaid card influenced AMEX's approval decision. I'm using it on the off chance that it will. I plan on apping for AMEX around October (maybe early December if my travel gets pushed back). I'll let yall know how it goes.
