Should I apply -Amex

Dyinglight — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 23:49:05 GMT

I currently have 3 different cards. Chase =$5,500(was 3000$ just went up this month increased limit not reported yet) Discover =$2,500 Capital one =$1,000

Credit Karma says I have 1 inquiry.

I was thinking of trying to get into amex with the everyday blue cash card.

My discover fico=748

My oldest line of credit is 1.5 years

My newest discover and chase 3 months ago.

Should I apply for it or just let my cards age?

DIscover FICO is TU I belive, do you know your EX or EQ FICO? Amex seems to pull EX first/most but they pulled all three for me. If your other scores are anywhere near that TU mark I would assume that you stand a great chance to be approved. My scores were about 20 points lower when I was approved for a Platinum charge card. Thats not exactly apples to apples but for what its worth I hope it helps.
