I do not think that he was trying to give anyone false hope. It just further illustrates that thick file with minor mistakes is a better risk than a thin short file with a higher score. Its no secret that amex uses their own internal scoring system... those who are frustrated by other peoples approvals should take a hard look at their own file and try to improve it or just let time mature it Smiley Happy I also have a thick file with some minor mistakes from 2006. I bet I could get an amex revolver now too as I average a 4k per month spend on zync.... had zync since Feb.

Re: Amex Revolvers - Sub 700 Scores

I don't have my exact scores, but I believe I was approved for my Zync and BCE with sub 700 scores Although my EQ and TU scores are in the 715-720 range, I don't think my EX score is quite at 700 due to a bunch of inquiries. 



Scores: EX: 793 EQ: 804 TU: 801

webhopper, assuming low util reporting and scores around where they are at now and decent Dti, I would say you have great chance of approval.
