anyone get email promo to app Blue Cash Everyday?

Options

‎08-23-2012 08:03 PM

I got an email from AmEx -- a "limited time offer" to app for BCE and get $100 back for spending a grand in three months.

 

Anyone get this? Approval chances with a 700-ish FICO and a couple of recalcitrant chargeoffs from 2008? If accepted through this promo, can I upgrade to BCP in 6 months?

Starting Score: 653 (11/1/2011 TransUnion)
Current Score: 719 (5/3/2012 TransUnion) 572 (3/21/2012 Equifax) 762 (4/14/12 VantageScore)
Goal Score: 700

No, you will have to wait a year to upgrade due to the CARD act.

In my wallet: Amex PRG & Zync, Amex BCE (19.2k), Chase Freedom (5k), PSECU Visa/PSL (20k)
Current Scores: Equifax: 738 (Fako) TransUnion: 721 (Fico) Experian: 717 (Fico)

It's funny because I received the same email this morning about an hour or so before I received my approval email for the Zync card that I applied for this morning.  I almost pulled the trigger after I was approved for the Zync. LOL.

Thanks. Would it still be 1 HP if I did it today or has that ship sailed?

That ship has probably sailed. It wasn't guaranteed that it would have only been a single HP either, since one card is a charge card and the other a credit card.

Ah yes. You're right. Two different products. Thanks!
