Amex Delta APR Reduction

Just wanted to report that I called tiger the APR reduced on my Amex Delta and it was taken down to 12.24 from 15.24. I have had the account open for 5 months and haven't carried a balance. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results! I just called the number on the back of the card. My goal over the next six months is to reduce my APRs as much as possible.

Question: How does your score now compare to your score at approval?

Re: Amex Delta APR Reduction

My score a week ago was 713, score on approval was between 709-720 based in other approvals at the time. I'm guessing it was approx the same. I have many more accounts in the last five months. I was approved for the amex hilton a week ago at the 19.99apr which is not the best rate.

Also, congrats to @heilfico!

Re: Amex Delta APR Reduction

Do you know if the APR reduction resulted in a hard pull?

Thanks. I'm intrigued by the possibility of getting an APR lower than the lowest rate advertised for new applicants, which is what I currently have.
