Just got approved Amex Delta CC

Just got approved for Amex Delta Gold CC.

 

Yesterday I called up Amex 'cz my Gold Charge card was declined when I went to buy a TV at best buy.Reason they gave was that my other accout balances had sudden increase over the last month(My Util went from 4% to 40%) and 'cz of that my proxy limit was cut down to $2000.

 

Just dared to apply online for Delta Gold CC for the 25000 bonus delta miles and was instantly approved with CL of 4K.

 

Never figured out what Amex wants to see in a CR.

 

My FICO's are TU:671 and EQ:673 EX: Dont know.Have 18 Inquires on my EQ and 9 in my TU since past 2 years.

They have a $95 annual fee, but they waive it for the first year. I got one for the opening perks, 20 or 25K airline miles (can't remember) plus free companion ticket. If I use the card for a certain amount (15K ?) by the end of December, I'll get an extra15K bonus miles...but I don't know if I'll reach that one.

 

My decision will be whether or not to keep it when the AF kicks in next year...we've had that discussion already here in the forums.

 

I just got the card in May, and asked for my first CLI increase today. Mine only started out at 2K because I'm the owner, and I only work part-time as a nurse right now (student). They didn't take my husband's income into account. They approved me for 6K today if my income confirms OK. I had to sign the IRS form to have them be able to get my tax forms from the gov. I should be OK, but my income varies and I can't for the life of me remember what I told them I made last May. I can work a lot...or I can work a little??? We'll see what happens.

An FR for $6K - they're nuts.

I think so, too...but all it required was a signature, so we did it. We're so used to this because a large part of our income is self-employment income. We always have to prove we don't need the money.
