Why zync and not green (or gold)?

Cause without a FICO we can't be sure, with a FAKO at that much you can most likely get a Zync.. imo.

Re: Will I get approve for a Amex card

Do you know what your file looks like on EX?? If it's the same as EQ i'd see what your FICO is on this website and try for a charge card (Zync, Green) with AMEX if its over 660.

Re: Will I get approve for a Amex card

I've read on this forum that the criteria for the AmEx charge cards was the same, just the benefits and AF differed. I was shot down twice for the Zync and was approved for Green, so who knows.

They may pull multiple reports for revolvers tho if your scores are iffy. I don't think they do that for charge cards.

I believe they give out Vantage scores, which are FAKOs..

 

I think you can apply for a Zync, but I can't say for sure if you'd get a Green.


They are actually TransRisk scores and therefore useless. VantageScores are used by a few lenders (Chase uses the VS for some decisions but not exclusively) but the wideapread use of VS's has not happpened yet.

 

 

 

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

Edit: My TransRisk wasn't too far from my TU98 FICO though..

 

Edit2: Then again my reports are clean of negs, For someone with negs I bet they'll vary much differently.. (As well as loans ect)

Amex pulled my EQ and EX reports when I apped for the Blue card and the Platinum card. My FICO scores weren't iffy, both scores were around 750. Sometimes there is no rhym or reason with what Amex does.Smiley Happy

Re: Will I get approve for a Amex card

I get the same feeling from what I've read. It does seem charge is a bit easier to get than revolver.
