I'm on Amex's radar!

Today I received a pre-approval mailer for Amex Green card. I've never received anything from Amex. Only Discover and Citi. I wonder if this is happening because I recently went to their website and signed up for a reminder to apply(after I finish gardening)? In any case, I'm stoked! I don't want a charge card but I do want to be apart of the Amex family. 

 

They're(CCCs) coming after me instead of me going after them. Feels nice. Smiley LOL

Re: I'm on Amex's radar!

It does feel nice to be wanted keep gardening and you'll see even more of them 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I'm hanging in there...almost fell off the wagon again; contemplating applying for the Overstock Mastercard. I don't even shop there regularly! Just have to take it day by day.
