I want an Amex

[dddewdrop]

   I called them today to discuss my situation. I didn't really get any new information just that I could apply once a month and that I should call Experian for ideas to improve my credit. I guess the CSR has never tried to call Experian before because it is close to impossible to ever get through to anyone there.

For experian, call this number. 714-830-7000

Don't take this the wrong way, but why would you even want anything from Amex?  They have zero credibility in the market today. Those that think other creditors, or the waitress that takes the card from you will be impressed, are not.  Since they are very easy to get, think hard and long why you want them.

We each would like different cards for different reasons... if he would like an AMEX, so be it.

Not certain why you have this severe disklike for Amex; however, there's more than one reason to want in with Amex, and honestly that's not my experience at all even with my Zync.

Credit laypeople don't have the same knowledge as a select few online communities such as myfico do.

Edit: possibly misinterpreted the above post, my apologies.

The first line is a question.  Also, I said "dont' take it the wrong way."
