Re: Gunning for Amex today

good luck. I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

I got 2 of them when I thought I wouldn't stand a chance.  I think they are giving these cards away these days.  They surely opened up to sub 700 credit scores that's for sure.

 

Which ones are you gunning for?

My Scores:
FICO (Oct '11): EQ - 491 | TU - 523 | EX - 481 (all tri-merge)
FICO: EQ - 653 (Aug '12) | TU - 700 (Nov '12) | EX - 687 (Aug '12)

My Wallet:
Discover It $11,000 | Chase Freedom $5000 | AMEX BCE $3000 | Paypal Extras Platinum $3,000 | Wells Fargo $1,000 | AMEX Zync NPSL

I want:
AMEX BCP | Chase Sapphire Preferred | US Bank Cash+ | Citibank Dividend Preferred

Shooting for Zync first, figure thats my best chance. If approved, I'll shoot for BCE.

Core Logic=teletrack, I think core logic is the parent company. Im  not sure if locking my report will work. I saw another member had success doing it and figured it was worth a shot as opposed to waiting 2 more years for it the derog to fall off.

What were you scores, AAoA, and baddies going in?

 

I think what saved me was my income and relatively high 600 scores.  They overlooked all my student loan lates obviously.

My Scores:
FICO (Oct '11): EQ - 491 | TU - 523 | EX - 481 (all tri-merge)
FICO: EQ - 653 (Aug '12) | TU - 700 (Nov '12) | EX - 687 (Aug '12)
