Gold Delta SkyMiles Approved

Anonymous — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 17:29:25 GMT

I was getting so annoyed with Delta sending me offers for the target 50,000 Skymiles sign-up bonus under the Gold Delta SkyMiles, I went for it. Approved instantly. ~~I was too excited to even see what the limit was though I bet it's quite decent heh!~~ ~~Checked the CL online, it's $2k. Still within range of gardening and the mininum spend deal (as long as I pay the majority before the statement date for 3B reporting).~~

Update 08.08.2016: Received the card today. I actually have $2'000 of cash advance, my credit limit is $10'000!

AAoA: 6 months

I have three cards in my wallet right now:

A (now) un-secured bank credit card - 650$ - 12 months @ 1% util

Citi Double Cash - 2000$ - 2 month @ 1% util

AMEX Prefered Gold Rewards - NPSL - 3 months

Experian: 716 - Transunion: 722 - Equifax: 710

No BKs or late payments. The thought is to stack up on inquiries and new credit now for long-term AAoA stability, payment history, etc. Aaand for my next trick I shall apply for a CSP and other Chase cards

Congrats on your Amex approval, you will receive an email from Amex confirming your approval. On that email, you will have a link to set up your account online. You will be able to see the SL on this card.

I already have an AMEX account. How would I add it into my existing account? Thanks!

You will get a link to add exiting account or to add a new account. You will need to use exiting account and to use your same ID and password. The new account will show with the rest of your amex cards.

You can also go into a chat with a rep on the website and they will automatically add any additional cards you are approved for. I did this when I was approved for my BCE and then BCP minutes after approval. It automatically added the account to my profile. They even automatically added the card I was an AU on. Just another way to get things rolling.

That's interesting. So you can apply for two AMEX cards in one day ro do you need to recon them about it?

I applied for my two cards on the same day. They will put a hold for 5 days on the second application for fraud purposes. I applied for both of my first two cards on the same day and they put the other on hold and approved it 5 days later.

I received my card today. The credit isn't $2,000 as I originally thought. $2,000 is the cash advance limit. The letter says I have $10,000 of credit limit

(I've updated the original post to reflect this update)
