Amex application asking for 4506-t

They will like your last years income, and just say you got a raise to explain the current $120k.

I think even without a score, they may be able to offer you cards.

I see no issues with you getting your foot in the door with AMEX after you've done your legwork.  Unless you had previous history with them and it went afoul.

No previous history. I have a feeling I will be approved being that they mentioned it twice over the phone although maybe it was a flub. Maybe they intend to approve if my tax returns match my application. Fingers crossed. I want to limit my debit card to only withdrawing cash.

Also, if they approve the blue card app, do I need to go through the same business with requesting another tax return to complete my gold card app or can they just use the same info?

They like your income, so I wouldn't fret. It's just playing the waiting game now. Keep watching that status page!

Thanks guys. Havent had a credit card since I was preyed upon in college and swore not to hand them over any more of my money.
I know I'll be in need of excellent credit in the future though so now im obsessed with having the best possible score.
Will let you know what happens

APPROVED!

For the blue card at least. I want to try and get my application approved for the gold card and I'm all set. Will I have an easier time now that my tax returns are on file or do I have to go through the same process?

I also want to switch the blue card from blue to blue cash everyday. That shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thanks guys

Congrats on the approval!

They're pulling my info from the blue card app to try and apply it to the gold card. CSR told me I have an $8k CL on the blue. Sweet!

APPROVED!... for the green card. Looks like they used my 4506-t for the green application instead of the premier gold. Told them to apply it to the gold card... I just want to try the gold for a year since it's 25k pts and better rewards w/ no fee for the first year. Hopefully this will not be a problem. I also hope customer service for members is a bit more helpful than the new account reps.
