Applied for Amex Delta Sky Miles and it's pending!! [Update: APPROVED]

itsmejustin29 — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 23:37:25 GMT

I've come a long way since I started rebuilding my credit from 384 (Aug' 2008) to 674 (today!) and I applied for the Delta Sky Miles card yesterday and got the 10 day message. Since they were closed yesterday I called today and they need to verify my adresss using either utility or bank statement and I told them I moved to Atlanta a few weeks ago and I don't move into my own apartment til this Thursday but I did update my new address with my banks. They offered to do a 3-way conf call with my bank to confirm my new addr info and I'm going to do that tonight.

Does this mean that upon verification of my address I *could* possibly be approved? I just moved to ATL and I would love to take advanage of flying Delta. Unfortunately I wasn't able to use this card yesterday due to the 10 day message and I used my BOA Rewards card instead to pay for the ticket because I was flying THAT DAY (long story) but going forward I really want to use this card!

Edit:

FICO 674

Util 13%

AAoA 3.25 yrs

1 degrog (falls off this Aug)

No lates, BKs, or other public records

BOA Rewards $2000 CL ($1.00 bal)

Barclay Card $700 CL ($274 bal) however it's really $174...I paid that down last week

Cap 1 Secure $300 ($30 bal) however its $0.00 since I paid it down last week

Banana Repub $300 ($174)

*Discover IT $1500 (not reporting yet...)

Thanks everyone. For some reason it stills shows In Process on the application status but the credit analyst assured me I was approved and even expedited my card.

Anyway ill take $2k for now but she said I could call in in 60 days and ask for a CLI.

I have a quick question...in a couple months would I be able to PC to the Delta Platinum or will that resort to another hard pull? Also now that I'm apart of the Amex family, what other Amex card would you sugguest? Would any future card apps result in more HPs? I already earn cash back on my Discover IT and BOA Rewards so I think I'd rather earn points to buy products instead.
