Amex Revolvers - Sub 700 Scores

Curious to know if anyone has been approved for an Amex Revolver with sub 700 scores. I know about the "who gave me credit" and other sites but more interested in the reports of those who were approved with lower scores. Previous relationship w/ Amex? High income?


Starting Score: EX: 575 (PSECU 5/2/12) TU: 582 (3/6/12) EQ: 664 (4/27/12)
Current Score: EX: 699 (PSECU 06/04/14) 702 (my FICO 08/05/14) TU: 699 (08/01/14) EQ: 675 (07/08/14)
Goal Score: 720

Seems to be a few cases of it with no relationship with Amex.   Mostly on co brand cards like delta.  Majority of sub 700 approvals are people with payment history with Amex via charge card.

@Crashem, only a couple of weeks just wanted to see where I was with them. The Zync and Gold just started reporting. Trying to see if I can sneek in before January. Not concerned with the backdating.
