Credit Cards

Congrats Tron. I enjoy the to app or not to app threads that end well!

Way to go!  What an awesome card to have!

Congrats!

For me, unlike most other credit cards, that first AmEx is just a little bit special.  Nice feeling--as Visa would say, priceless!

I chose to quote this post because of its sincerity. Thanks bro. This is exactly what I was looking for a year ago, which leads me to ask.....could I have been approved that much earlier?

By the way, etch out a spot in primeville, I have arrived!

So what big purchase do you have planned for that new AMEX???

Grats Tron! In a years time, I hope to have a similar post!

Maybe I can find THIS post and quote it in my success thread!

Welcome to the club haha! Congrats! From my experience so far amex has been terrific with granting cli's (internal spending limit) to my charge card account. They  have raised my limit much faster than a revolving credit card would especially with limited history. Use your gold card for pretty much everything, pay them back on time and you will see your spending ability continue to grow.

In my view, this is the best part about using a charge card.  This seems much better to me than to painstakingly raise a hard limit from $500 - $1,000 - $2,000 etc....or, managing a low limit and paying multiple times to circumvent the low limit.

Gas. With all that I use, it will equal a big purchase alone every month, then every single other thing that I buy where it is accepted. Then maybe a cruise at the end of the year. Booked with Amex of course for 2X points.
