I'm not too disappointed b/c all of those other cards were sort of experiments or tests anyway just to see how much my credit had rebounded since I screwed it all to "7734" 10 years ago. I figured I was going to get some denials and I kinda figured AMEX would be one of them. But I did score 7 out of the 9 I apped for. Not bad considering at the beginning of this year-I didn't think I could even buy a piece of toast on credit-LOL!
