USAA AMEX Question

dpechal · ‎05-21-2012

I was recently approved for a USAA Amex Rewards @ $6500 CL. Now obviously it is an AMEX card, but as silly as it sounds I am wondering if this will help me get in with Amex. I would like to get the Amex blue one day. For instance I know for a CLI request I would have to call USAA, but if I called up AMEX would they even have me on file? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but just curious.

For those looking to apply my Credit Scores are listed below. I have 2 baddies on my TU that I have disputed (As you can see there is a 100 point gap in FICO scores). Also the approval was instant no 3-5, 7-10 message. Also I reported my HHI as $35,000 (Military Pay sucks I know). If you have any other questions please feel free to message me or post back.

all it is the server they use. alot of people prefer the mastercard version over the amex though cause believe it or not there are places that do not accept amex. if you want an easy foot in the door with amex go for one of the charge cards like the zync for example
