Re: amex in my sights .......well in a few years!!! BK 7 from 05 reporting....

If it's your first Amex, take the shot in December (just not too late, figure mid December for safety in establishing Membership date).

 

In fairness, BK's appear to be problematic with Amex, but if you don't have your future backdate set in stone, it's worth taking the shot even if it is a deny.  If you already have had an Amex in the past (and if you can prove it) you can afford to wait if you don't want the possible denial, but personally I don't think that it's a wasted inquiry regardless if you need to thicken your file.

   Lucky, I've never had any of mine fall off early, they seem to fall off the month after they are said to fall off.... Still waiting for some from July to fall of....

 

 

    Good luck with your app.

I think you would have a fair chance with a real EX fico over 700,  no baddies since BK and an income over 30k perferably a lot higher to make them drool  And a thick file with multiple tradeline showing.  All reporting perfect

 

Wallet: FNBO DISC 9.5k, , Chase Freedom 3.3k & Slate 3.3k, AMEX BCP 7.5k & AMEX Hilton Surpass 5.5k & AMEX Zync NPSL, Walmart 3.3k, CapOne AU 1.5k
Sockdrawer: Paypal Extras MC 3.2k, CapOne 2k, CapOne 750, Amazon 3.9k, Sams Club store 9.8k, Citi HHonors Gold 6k, Discover IT 6.5k and a nice stack of store cards.
