Input on Amex BCE and BCP

[armbenderc]

I am planning to app for BCE or BCP. However, I cannot decide which one would be easier to get.

I have asked on other thread and some said that the underwriting are the same or almost the same.

This bring to the conclusion that the BCP would be easier to get since Amex gets AF or is it BCE will be easier since it has less reward? lol

I will be using the card for all my grocery, gas, and everything else so if I do get BCP, the AF will be covered.

I currently have Amex Green (10/12). Planning to app in early/mid 2013

BCE  ...

Credit Record Needed:
Based on the FICO score recommendation, applicants should have a great credit record. A FICO credit score of 725 is recommended for a higher chance of approval, but this is not required. There are a number of other factors that this issuer may also consider when making decisions for approval.

BCP......

BCE a lil easiler , But the BCP has better cash rewards

I always thought they were the same.  I would just app for the card you want. Because of the card act, If you get the BCE you have to wait 1 year to PC to the BCP.

I would like the BCP, but at the same time I want to get approved. I'll probably go for BCP... it depends what my score will look like next year.
