If scores were the only deciding factor, then yes. Unfortunately this is not the case.

Re: Will I qualify for the AMEX Green Card?

I am guessing those are FAKO scores (nothing to do with a lender approval); however, you probably have few if any blemishes on your report, and if you have at least six months reporting on a credit card you have a reasonable chance.

If you post a little more of what your report looks like we can make a better assessment.

Welcome to the forums though!

Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)
Current Score: EQ 660, Wally TU 697, EX unknown (05/13/13)
Goal Score: 680 in all three (01/01/14)

Re: Will I qualify for the AMEX Green Card?

Do you currently have any other credit cards?

 

How long have you had them?

 

AMEX likes to see at least 1 years history with multiple credit cards.

Some of the usual info needed to get a good picture is average age of accounts,  # of inqs, utilization and it also helps if you have previous good payment history with them.

I applied. They are asking that I call to speak with a representative. Apparently, they need a business phone number and home address verification. Is this a good sign?

Not necessarily.  They approved me for the Green card with only 5.5 months history, and I only had 1 card.  My income isn't high, either.

 

At any rate, OP, it sounds like once they verify your employment and address you'll be good to go!
