Took The plunge! Amex is pending further review (?). Should I call them? Said I would receive notification by mail within 14 days. Is this standard or what do you think it means?
ALSO, instantly approved for Citi Platinum Select/AAdvantage World MasterCard with initial CL of $11K. Thanks to everyone for their help! Will be joining the people who are in the garden!
Give them a call. They may just need to verify something. You at least weren't out and out denied! This is a good sign!
Give them a call.
Good luck!
WOW!!!
I took a double take!!! I initially didn't see the bottom of your last post.
Congrats!!!!
11K+ !!!!!!!
You are the man!!!!

Congrats on CITi! have you checked your Credit Reports to see if Amex has made a HP yet?
Hi! Amex is closed today so I'll call tomorrow. Think I'll open a bit of the bubbly!!!
Can't tell by my screen name but I am the WOMAN!!!
Thanks again and will post again when Amex responds with an answer.
do you currenty have any kind of credit monitoring service that you use? what i meant in my above post was if American Express had made a request (inquiry) for your credit. you could check for that if you do have some kind of Credit Monitoring Service. it would be listed under the INquiry section. i was just asking bc you stated that you had a charge-off with AMEX back in the 80's and might be blacklisted. however, considering that AMEX did not auto-reject you, i suspect that you are not blacklisted and your app is probably just needing some kind of verification or just needs a human to review it. in either case, im sure you will be approved! keep us posted
Try going to this site to check the status of your Amex app: www.americanexpress.com\applicationstatus
Often times, you will get the 7-10 day message intially, but then when you check the status online, you may see Approved. Good luck and let us know the results.
Congrats on your new Citi card, too!!
Hi! Yes, I do have a service and Experian has one new inquiry. Will keep you posted. Have a great evening!

+1, thats how i found out i was aprroved for my ZYNC before AMEX even sent out the approval email. its the fastest(and best) way to find out the status of your app
Thanks! I am really happy as it took me 5 years to get to this point. I will try and contribute to the board as people like you have been so much help to me. I DO have quite a bit of knowledge about how to raise you credit score so I feel I could be of help to the really new people starting out.
