Did you get your EX score with the crd?
No, I was so disappointed. The Zync doesn't come w/score, since it's a charge (unless maybe you get $500 hard limit). And for some reason Costco doesn't come w/FICO either! All Costco Amex have the same interest rate, so even tho I got a low CL, people said that I didn't get FICO because I got their "best terms" in regards to the interest rate. I still have no idea what my EX FICO Is. I was too afraid to call Amex and ask them because of all of the talk here about FRs, and most people said that when they called, Amex wouldn't give it to them.

All of my hard work the past two years has just begun to come to fruition. And I have noone else to thank than these forums, other than myself for being patient and calculating. When I get the card in 7-10 days, its celebration time.
Yaaay, FicoTron! Congrats! My own app was successful 2 weeks ago, and you kindly congratulated me... and now here we are again. ![]()
