BCE by AMEX result...

dsotm76 — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 00:02:26 GMT

After a lot of cold feet and being nervous to take the plunge on trying for a real card that's not secured or a Synchrony card, I pulled the trigger on the BCE AMEX card. Let me tell you, it's been a long time since I've felt butterflies like that.

The result...

I was approved!! My SL was set at $10,000 which almost knocked me out of my desk chair!! (Kinda makes me think I could fire off one more application without worry, but I'm not going to test fate.)

I cannot express how happy I am at the moment. It's taken me two years to get to this point after avoiding credit cards altogether for MANY years. I owe this forum a HUGE DEBT OF GRATITUDE AND THANKS!! All the advice I've received from comments and postings really made this happen today.

Gosh...I'm still in SHOCK!! Now to find $1000 worth in the first 3 months so I can get my $200 bonus. I'm not one to let money pass by. ;-)

Forum drinks for everyone on me!!!!

That's a great SL, they really like your profile. You probably have a year or 15 months at 0% on purchases, too. With Amex, I thought it best to not take advantage of that - I want to keep that relationship in the honeymoon stage indefinitely.

I wanted to take a moment to say THANKS to everyone for the comments and kudos. I'm still on cloud 9 today!! I'm definitely going to use it very sparingly and wisely.

Congrats on the great opening SL!!! I still can't seem to figure out why they only gave me a $2k SL on my BCP card, although I did get the 0% for 15 months and $250 credit after $1000 spend (which I did in the first two weeks :-).

I just tried for my 61 day 3x CLI and received the 7-10 day by mail message, so I'm not hopeful. Not sure why they dont want to give me any LUV, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Definitely make sure you PIF every month to keep them happy.

Welcome to the club!
