topic APPROVED FOR AMEX in Credit Card Approvals

APPROVED FOR AMEX

Anonymous — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:07:11 GMT

I am in total shock, my EX hit 635 yesterday and I know that it is low for amex. I recived a mailer to apply (not a pre approval) I got the further review message. Just got an email that I was approved for the Delta gold card with 1K Limit. I'm just so beyond shock, these forums have helped me so much.

Congrats!

I was just approved for an Amex as well and my scores are similar to yours and I was also really surprised. I'm also seeing a lot of Amex approved posts from different people. I can't help but wonder if they have lowered their "standards" in an attempt to beef up their membership, especially with the loss of Costco.

There are a lot of people out there with "fair" credit, and Amex has in the past, not really gone after this market. Wonder if they are now trying.

I did the same day and the application was pending further review then denied, I can't access the reasons online but I will wait for the letter, I'm assuming it is the same reason I got last time "Your Fico score". I find it funny cause the charge cards are said to be easier than the revolvers but I guess that isn't true in every case

Congrats on the approval. You should call to find the reason for the PRG denial and see if you can recon it.
